BTN 1
TOGGLE
EDIT: LCP-1 LOAD-1
LCP1: 1
Pressing ENTER on a selected Button takes you to the but-
ton programming menu. This looks very like the Group pro-
gramming menu and works in exactly the same way. The
choices however for the properties of a button are different.
Any button may have the following properties:
a) ON MODE. This means that all the loads listed will be
turned ON when the button is pushed.
e) MAINTAIN. When the button is pushed in the load will
turn ON and when the button is released the load will turn
OFF. This is usually used for a DigiLink where an external
contact closure from a photocell or clock or Energy Man-
agement System will control multiple loads.
f) GROUP. A switch may only address up to 8 loads individ-
ually. In order to command more than 8 loads it has to be
assigned to a GROUP. There are 32 Groups available to a
system. In the last 5 years there has not been a system that
used all 32 groups.
Once a button is assigned to a GROUP it may have the
functions of: Momentary ON, Momentary OFF, Momentary
MIX, Maintain, Ma Timer and OFF Sweep Maintain
+Timer. Note that a GROUP may not have a TOGGLE
function.
If more than 8 loads are assigned to a switch button the
system will automatically ask if you wish to assign this but-
ton to a group. If you press ENTER on YES it will give you
the next available group number.
Copying a Switch.
There are often occasions where a 3-way situation is set up
with identical switches at different ends of a room or corri-
dor. Switches may be copied as follows:
In the List of switches highlight the switch to be copied.
SCROLL UP to put that switches data into a temporary
memory location. Tab to the switch that should be the same
and highlight it. Now SCROLL DOWN to copy the data to
that switch. This can save a lot of button pushing.
b) OFF MODE. This means that all the loads listed will be
turned OFF when the button is pushed.
c) MIX MODE. This means that the items listed next to ON
will turn ON and the items listed next to OFF will turn OFF.
As with the GROUP MENU the way to get an item into the
ON list is hit ENTER once. A second push with the same
load selected will place it in the OFF list and a third push will
remove it from both lists.
d) TOGGLE. This means that the load listed will turn on with
the first push of this button and OFF with the next push and
so on. It is strongly recommended that only one load be list-
ed per button to avoid the possibility of multiple loads get-
ting out of sync. However, many systems that have some
way of of ensuring that the zones or relays may be put back
into sync, such as the same loads also have an ON or OFF
switch or a schedule on them have worked successfully.
Should they get out of sync (which is very rare) the ON or
the OFF button will get them back into sync again.
