Local Buttons, Phantom Buttons, and
Whole-home Buttons
Button Programming Overview
Local Buttons
A Local Button is a Master Control button used to activate zones of lighting within a single system. A Local
Button is programmed locally at the Master Control, or copied from a button on another Master Control. Any or
all zones of lighting within the same system as the Master Control can be assigned to the button. Each column
of local buttons can be assigned as either ROOM buttons or SCENE buttons.
A Local Button would typically be used when all of the lighting to be controlled by the button is in the same area
as the Master Control.
Phantom Buttons
A Phantom Button is a "virtual" button that resides in the Chronos
TM
System Bridge and is used to activate light-
ing in a single system or both systems. Any or all zones of lighting within a single system or both systems can
be assigned to Phantom Buttons. Each Phantom button can be assigned as either a ROOM button or a SCENE
button.
Phantom Buttons can be activated via Master Control Whole-home Buttons (see below) or via the
Chronos
System Bridge RS-232 port.
Whole-home Buttons
Whole-home Buttons are available when using the
Chronos
System Bridge to bridge two RadioRA
®
systems. A
Whole-home button is a Master Control button that can be used to activate zones of lighting in both systems.
Programming of Whole-home Buttons is accomplished at the
Chronos
System Bridge with Phantom Buttons.
A Whole-home Button would be used whenever lighting in both systems is to be controlled by a Master Control.
