10. Appendix
Addressing:
Allows you to set and address individual
modules to run several completely separate ATOM
systems on the same track. Setting an address will also
allow you to communicate with the Lightolier Controls
Compose PLC line.
Cycle:
The modules can cycle trough scenes with
programmed fade rates and time delays in a continuous
loop or a single cycle. This function requires a Track
Master Module.
Cycle Program Mode:
Activated when the laser on the
LRC is pointed at a receiver on a TM, in this mode the
TM can receive IR commands to set scenes to
communicate with all of the modules with it’s same
address.
Fade Rate:
The time transition between scenes can be
programmed into each module. The fade rate is this
transition. Modules are pre-programmed with a 3 sec
fade rate between scenes that may be extended to 30
minutes or reduced to 1.5 seconds.
Module:
Used to denote either a DM, NDM, or both.
Program Mode:
Activated when the laser on the LRC is
pointed at a receiver on a module, in this mode the
module can receive IR commands to change light
intensities, fades, and scenes.
Scene:
Lighting effects and light levels can be saved in
each module for use at any time. Each group of saved
settings is called a scene. Each module has 6
programmable scenes (A through F) and On and Off
scenes.
System:
A group of more than one DM and/or NDM,
used with a TM and/or WMC to make up a "system" that
talks to itself.
Time Delay:
In a cycle program, the time a scene will
run. The time delay will start once the scene is done
fading in. Right after the time delay is done, the fade to
the next scene begins.
Remote does not work:
• Check that you are within 25 feet of the module you
are trying to transfer commands to and in a
direct line-of-sight.
• The batteries may need replacement or the Protective
plastic may need to be removed (first time use only).
See "Replacing Batteries" in section 4.
The track luminaires are going on and off
without touching any buttons anywhere to
initiate it:
• There could be a cycle running. To know if a cycle is
running, check the TM. If its LED is blinking, a cycle is
most-likely running. If using the WRC, the
CYCLE
button’s LED will be lit and the button’s LED or the
cycle that’s running (
A
through
F
) will be blinking.
• Is there an In-Line Filter on the circuit? It is recom-
mended for each track circuit with an ATOM
installation. The In-Line Filter reduces unwanted
electrical noise on track circuit.
• The modules could be in the process of a very long
fade. To advance a fade, hit the fade
f
button.
