tarted

System Overview

System Layout

Step 1

Determine if Bridging is Required

Bridging is required if:

• More than 32 Lighting Zone Controls exist, or
• More than 12 Master Controls exist

Step 2

For Bridging Two Systems

For optimal light response time, devices in System 1 and System 2 should not
be used in the same room. Splitting the two systems, as shown below, is
recommended.

Determine location of System 1 and System 2.
Examples:

a. System 1: 1st Floor

(see illustration below)

System 2: 2nd Floor

b. System 1: East Wing

System 2: West Wing

c. System 1: Interior

System 2: Exterior
