Programming Effects with TM
The Effects program requires a TM to synchronize all
the DM’s and NDM’s in the system and to store the
program.
Creating Cycles
The Cycle effect will transition from one scene to
another through a selected sequence of scenes and will
repeat the same scene sequence while activated. The
TM has the capability of storing up to 6 Cycles. These
are referred to as cycles
A B C D E
and
F
.
Each Cycle consists of 1 to 10 steps. Each step consists
of a pre-fade (Optional), a scene, and a delay (Optional).
Cycles can be executed once and stop automatically
(single cycle), or repeat (loop) until stopped by the user.
NOTE:
If more than one TM is going to be used to cycle,
they must all be on different addresses (see page 18).
If they will be cycling on different circuits using
Lightolier Controls Compose Firewall, up to two cycles
can be run at the same time.
1.
Press and hold the Laser button and aim laser
beam at the TM’s receiver to select it and place it in
program mode. The TM’s LED(s) will blink at a 1/2
second rate when in program mode. The LRC’s LED
will also blink (every 1 second) to indicate the
transmitter will be transmitting program IR commands
when buttons are depressed. (After 60 seconds of
inactivity, the module(s) will exit the program mode
without saving.)
2.
Press and hold the Cycle
c
button for more than 3
seconds (the TM’s LED will blink rapidly and then
after 3 seconds stay on). Release the Cycle
c
button. The TM’s LED will indicate that it’s in cycle
program mode by turning on with short blinks every
second.
3.
Select the Cycle to be programmed by pressing a
letter button (
A B C D E
or
F
).
4.
Press the Begin
b
button to start the programming.
The LED will blink repeatedly one short blink and a
delay to indicate that it is waiting for a Fade Rate or a
Scene to be entered.
5.
To enter a Cycle sequence without entering fade rates
and time delays (system will use the default fades
and delays), simply press the Scene button in the
desired sequence. Ex. (
A C
ON
D
OFF
B
).The
Scenes selected will be transmitted to all Modules to
show the scene effects. Advance to step 7.
6.
To enter a Cycle sequence with fade rates and/or
time delays follow steps 6a, 6b and 6c.
a)
To enter (or change) a
Fade Rate
, press the fade
f
button (for a 1 1/2 second fade) or
f
and one of
the TIME buttons (
3 7 15 30
sec.
5
or
30
min.)
for the desired Fade Rate. (If any of these buttons
are pressed after each other, the last button
pressed will be what is programmed). The LED will
blink repeatedly one short blink and a delay to
indicate that it is waiting for a Scene to be entered.
Programming A System
Quick Tips
Globally Select Modules with TM
The TM can be used to put all of the Modules with its
same address into programming mode. This is for global
changes while setting scenes.
1.
Press and hold the Laser button and aim laser
beam at the TM’s receiver to select it and place it in
program mode. The TM’s LED(s) will blink at
a 1/2 second rate when in program mode. The LRC’s
LED will also blink (every 1 second) to indicate the
transmitter will be transmitting program IR commands
when buttons are depressed. (After 60 seconds of
inactivity, the module(s) will exit the program mode
without saving.)
2.
Press and hold the Fade
f
button for more than 3
seconds, causing the LED to blink rapidly and then
after 3 seconds stay on. Release the Fade
f
button.
The TM’s LED will start to blink at a 1/2 second rate,
delay for two seconds, then send a signal to all
Modules on its address which will also start blinking
at a 1/2 second rate, indicating that they are all in
program mode. Now any scene can be changed or
modified globally by following the program steps
while pointing the LRC at the TM.
Programming Basics with TM
Creating Scenes With DM & NDM Units Using TM
To create scenes with individual Modules using the TM,
perform step 1 from the "Creating Scenes with One or
Multiple Modules" section, selecting the individual
Modules with the laser. When all Modules are selected,
perform steps 2-6, pointing the LRC at the TM, which will
communicate the commands to all the selected
Modules in Program mode.
To create scenes with all Modules at the same time
using the TM, globally select all Modules using the
Quick Tip above. When all Modules are selected,
perform steps 2-6 from the "Creating Scenes with One or
Multiple Modules" section, pointing the LRC at the TM,
which will communicate the commands to all the
Modules in program mode.
