Relay vs. Shutter Mode
If, in BabyWare, the output is set to Light, Sprinkler, or Custom, it will function as a standard relay output. If, in BabyWare,
the output is set to Shutter, the related outputs (Up/Down) will be paired for shutter operation. For more information, refer to
"Programming an HV8D Module” on page 4. In the example below, outputs 1 and 2 are set to Relay Mode and outputs 3 to
8 are set to Shutter Mode.

Shutter Calibration
If outputs are set to Shutter Mode (see "Relay vs. Shutter Mode” on page 3), the HV8D must be calibrated to match each
shutter’s open and closed states. This calibration can be performed locally at the HV8D, or using an Imperial Dimmer Wall
Switch (refer to the MCVA2 manual), or using BabyWare (Q2 2009). To calibrate the shutter outputs using the HV8D
module:
1. To enter shutter calibration mode, press and hold both of the output pair’s buttons for four seconds.
D
The first LED is off, the second LED is solid.
D
The shutter closes.
D
The button pair now function as an UP and DOWN button for calibration.
2. When the shutter reaches the bottom, press the UP button.
D
The shutter opens.
3. When the shutter reaches the top, press the DOWN button.
D
The shutter closes again.
4. When the shutter reaches the bottom, press the UP button.
D
The shutter opens to about 50%.
5. If the shutter is not at exactly 50%, adjust it manually using the UP and DOWN buttons.
6. To exit shutter calibration mode, press both buttons.
