Add Link

The Add Link function will add a scene-link # to the receive component table of one or more devices 
at the same time.  A scene-link # will need to be selected when adding the link to devices.  If the 
scene-link is an existing link from a button or rocker you can determine (read) the link # by using the 
Read Link function in the Tools menu (see Read Link section, page 13).
 
To add a scene-link # to one or more devices:

?

 If the scene-link to be added is an existing link used by other devices, first activate the scene-link so 

all the devices in the scene are on at their desired level.  You may adjust the levels of these 
'activated' devices now, if you want them to be saved at new, adjusted levels. 

Helpful Hint:  You can activate an existing scene by pressing the button or rocker that controls the scene.  If the 
scene is controlled by an Link Activator 'LA' event in the scheduler (i.e. no button or rocker is available to activate the 
scene), then choose the scheduled event that controls that scene and press Enter 

8

 

 to activate the scene (when the 

cursor is on the event number).

?

 If the scene-link is a new scene (not yet used by any installed devices) then choose a scene-link 

number between 100 and 200.  We recommend a number between 100 and 200 to avoid 
interference/duplication of link numbers used by the Pre-Configured Series products.

?

 Go to the UCS and press the Menu button to view the main menu.  Press the down button 7 times 

to select Tools, then press Enter 

8

 

.  Press the Down button two times to select Add Link, then press 

the Enter 

8

 

 button.

?

 Use the Up or Down buttons to select the link number to be used (new links should be a number 

between 100 and 200), then press Enter 

8

 

.  If the scene-link to be used is an existing link make sure 

you know and use the correct scene-link number.  To read and confirm a scene-link number, see 
Read Link section (page 13). 

?

 Go to the new unit(s) that will be added to the scene and adjust their light level.  Then press each 

new unit’s program button (or any button or rocker on each switch to be added) 5 times quickly to 
place unit(s) in the setup mode.  Modules that are already in the scene do not need to be put in 
setup.

Helpful Hint:  Modules and dimmers will stay in the setup mode for approximately 5 minutes.  You can always 
confirm if the module/dimmer is in the setup mode by checking for a blinking green indicator.  If the indicator is not 
blinking green, to place in the setup mode, quickly tap the dimmer's top rocker or modules program switch five times.  
To exit the setup mode, quickly tap the rocker or program switch two times.

?

 Next press the Enter 

8

 

 button on the UCS to write the link to all units in the setup mode; and to 

reset adjusted levels of any modules that were already in the scene.

?

 Test the scene-link by activating/deactivating it from a transmitter (e.g. button, rocker or Link 

Activator 'LA' event in the scheduler).

Delete Link

The Delete Link function will delete a scene-link # from the receive component table of one or more 
devices at the same time.  The scene-link # to be deleted will need to be selected when deleting the 
link from the device(s).  If the scene-link is an existing link from a button or rocker you can determine 
(read) the link # by using the Read Link function in the Tools menu (see Read Link section, page 13).
