4 USING THE RLD DIGITAL
The following sections detail how to use the RLD.
After setting the parameters, RLD automatically backs them up. In cases when the power shuts down and
goes back on, the controller continues operating as in its last saved state.

4.1 Preliminary Setup Options
Press
Options
of either channel for three seconds to enter the system parameters menu. The first
parameter is "bu." To navigate to the other three parameters, press the "Options" button. The sequence
order of parameters to appear is as follows:
bu
Ch
Lo
br
Ig.
NOTE:
The
"Options"
button is also used to exit from this menu.
•
System Parameter 1 – Bulb Type
•
•
System Parameter 3 – Low Limit
•
System Parameter 4 – Brightness Restriction
•
System Parameter 5 – Ignition Pulse
4.1.1 System Parameter 1 – Bulb Type
The "
bu
" parameter defines the bulb type. It is important to correctly define the type of bulb since each type
has different electrical properties. The options are:
•
Lb
: Incandescent (Tungsten)
•
CC
: Cold cathode
•
FL
: Fluorescent
CAUTION To ensure proper operation, cold cathode and and fluorescent lamp infrastructures
require the installation of one incandescent lamp in line with these lamps.
NOTE:
If you change the bulb type, the
Low Limit
and
Ignition Pulse
parameters return to their default
settings.
4.1.2 System Parameter 2 – Channel
The "
ch
" (Channel) parameter sets the connection mode.
0
represents connection via voltage controlled
mode using 0-10 VDC Analog input and
1-8
represents connection via the controller’s communication
feature.
•
Connecting via 0 – 10 VDC analog input
: Set the parameter to
0.
Refer to Using an Analog
Output, page 18 for wiring information.
•
Connecting via the controller’s communication feature
: Set the parameter from
1 – 8.
.
Refer to Using a Communication Card, page 20 for further details regarding numbering.
