RadioLink® AccentPoint Relay Station II — MODEL: APREL(-GU)

 

 

Overview 
The Vantage AccentPoint Relay II

 

connects to the Vantage 

Control System through RadioLink®. It enables an appliance to 
be controlled by a keypad, timed event, IR button, etc. It has 
two loads and one button for each  load  with  default 
programming to allow for local control/testing of the load, 
whether the station is communicating with the Vantage system 
or not.

System Requirements 
This station is compatible with InFusion Design Center 
Systems. For new projects it is recommended that firmware 
and software be kept to the most current release. 
 
Installation 
Installation of Vantage products should be performed or 
supervised by a 

Certified Vantage Installer. 

1.

 

Make sure the appliance to be controlled is turned OFF. 

2.

 

Plug the appliance into the load 1 or load 2 outlet on the 
bottom of the AccentPoint. 

3.

 

Plug the AccentPoint into the bottom receptacle of a 
power outlet. Notice the plug of the AccentPoint Relay II 
Station may be ordered with the GND prong UP. If the 
GND prong on the outlet is UP, check the Ground Pin Up 
check box in Design Center to order the correct part, 

APREL-GU

. Turn the appliance switch to ON 

4.

 

It is now ready to be controlled by the Vantage system.   

 
Station Set Up in Design Center Software 

1.

 

Select the room 

2.

 

Click on 

Vantage Objects 

in the 

Object Explorer

 and 

expand 

Stations, RadioLink

3.

 

From the list of stations double click on the 

AccentPoint 

Relay Station II

 to place it in the room. 

4.

 

In the 

Object Editor,

 name the station and make sure it is 

on the correct RadioLink bus port. 

5.

 

Select other settings as wanted in the 

Object Editor

 

Configuration 
RadioLink stations need to be configured to associate which 
physical station goes with the station in software. When the 
station is initially powered-up, the Status LED will blink three 
times followed by a pause - this means the station is powered 
correctly but not yet on the network. 

Before

 uploading the file 

to the Vantage system, do the following: 

1.

 

In Design Center with the AccentPoint Relay II 
highlighted, in the 

Object Editor

 click in the 

Serial 

Number

 section 

2.

 

Manually type in the serial number of the AccentPoint 
Dimmer II station.  

3.

 

Repeat for each AccentPoint Relay II station 

4.

 

TIP:

 The serial number of each station is located on a 

permanent sticker on the station. Record this number for 
easy reference when programming in Design Center. 

5.

 

When the InFusion System is programmed, the Main 
Controller will add all RadioLink stations that it has serial 
numbers for. This may take several minutes depending 
on the number of RadioLink stations on the network. 

6.

 

The Status LED will blink steadily when logged on to the 
network. 

 
QLink Support 
QLink Systems do not directly support the AccentPoint Relay 
Station II stations which have two loads. For QLink 
applications, select the AccentPoint Relay from the RadioLink 
station list and note the following limitation. 
QLink Limitation: 

 

Only the left load will be switched on the APREL 
when used with QLink 

 
Device Operation 
The AccentPoint Relay II is designed to be controlled from a 
separate keypad, timed event  or other control on the Vantage 
System. It also has a button for local control of each load.  The 
buttons operate with default programming whether or not the 
device is communicating with the Vantage System. Pressing 
the buttons toggle the loads on and off. 
 
When power is restored from a power outage the device will 
return the load to the last load state. This will occur whether or 
not the station is connected to a system. 
 
Reset  
The device stores the configuration data locally so that it will 
continue to operate correctly if communication with the 
system is lost. To reset this information to the factory default, 
unplug the device, press and hold both buttons in and plug it 
in while holding the buttons down. After a reset the load will 
be off, and other settings will be at factory default. 
 
Note: Make sure it is back on-line with the Controller before 
testing button or load operation.
