Datasheet / Technical manual
Dry contact
The 7 external contacts are located on the second RJ45 connector (RJ2). The 7 dry contacts can be used to trigger 7
scenes via external relay. Adding more than 7 triggers requires a multiplexed system (for a maximum of 127 contacts
maximum).
External Contact Closures can be done only when Pins 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are connected to Pin 1 corresponding to the 5V DC
of the interface (It is also possible to connect the contacts to 5V DC or 3V3 DC).
By selecting a scene in the list, it's possible to choose the external contact number
(from 01 to 127) to trigger the scene.
By default, the interface offers 7 external contacts (01, 02, 04, 08, 16, 32, 64).
To deploy up to 127 external contacts, a de-multiplexing interface is required in order
to use the other possible combinations.
Several trigger options are available for external contact triggers:
On: Activating the contact plays the scene (only trigger action is to start the scene).
On/Off: Activating the contact starts the scene, subsequent activation stops the
scene. Each trigger action will invert the state of the scene (start/stop).
Auto Release: The scene plays while the contact is activated. When the contact is
released, the scene stops.
Restart: If the scene is playing, activating the contact will restart the scene from its
beginning. If the scene is not playing, then it will start.
Dry contact reaction time: 8 ms (0.008 s) / Time between 2 contacts: 500 ms (0.5 s)
Contact commands
External contacts can also trigger commands in Stand Alone mode.
From the Triggers tab you can select a contact for each action:
, Dimmer -, Blackout, Speed +, Speed -, Pause, Scene +,
Scene - and Area.
Note: It is not possible to use the same trigger for scene and
command. In this case, the scene contact has the priority or the
scene will lose its contact trigger information after choosing the
contact from the Trigger command tab.
