Load Configurations
Setting up the
load
configurations,
as shown at
right, is done
in Design
Center
software.
Only loads 1-4
may be
configured as
PWM. Set all
four loads as
PWM or in
sets of two,
e.g., loads 1&2,
or loads 3&4.
Low Voltage
Outputs, 0-
10V (analog)
Low Voltage Controls 1-8 and Ground are used to control devices
that work with an analog 0-10V signal. Ground provides the
negative reference for the output voltages. All Grounds are
connected internally to each other. Each control output, 1-8 can
sink or source 0-100mA at any voltage from 0-10VDC. The load
level sets the percentage between the minimum and maximum
voltage that is selected for that load. LED load indicators are
red
for all loads in 0-10V mode; loads 5-8 are only 0-10V.
PWM Outputs, 12V (Source)
Low voltage outputs 1-4 may be configured as PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation). Only use combinations 1-4, 1&2, or 3&4 as illustrated
for PWM outputs. PWM Duty Cycles are programmed using Power
Profiles from 0%-
Minimum On
to 100%-
Maximum On
(99.9%
actual). The load level is a percentage between the minimum and
maximum duty cycle (Power Profile Minimum On and Maximum
On). The output can be reversed in Design Center through the
Power Profile. For example, a 0% duty cycle can either be load ON
or load OFF. LED load indicators 1-4 are
green
for loads in PWM
mode.
NOTE: Loads 1 – 8, Low Voltage outputs, should be
limited to 250 feet / 76.2 meters for each wire run, using
a minimum of 18AWG / 0.823mm2 gauge wire. All
connections use 4.4 inch pound torque. Stranded wire
recommended.
Software/Firmware
Design Center Software version 3.x or higher and accompanying
Firmware, are compatible. For new projects it is recommended that
software and firmware be kept to the most current release.
Power Profiles / Power Outages
The Dimmer Station stores Power Profile configuration data locally
so that it will continue to operate correctly if communication with
the system is lost. This information includes: load profile-duty cycle
settings, last load level, and PWM or 0-10V power profiles. If a
station is moved to a new location or if the load type connected is
changed from a 0-10V load to a PWM load, or vice-versa,
remember to change the load type in Design Center, to avoid
unwanted results. Before testing new load type via the local
buttons on the front, program the station to the system so the new
load type is active in the station’s output.
If a power outage occurs, when power is restored the station will
return the loads to the last load level with all profiles at there last
known settings. This occurs whether or not the station is
connected to the Controller.
Actuator Buttons
The actuator buttons on the front of the station are for local
control only and are not programmable through Design Center
software. In
Diagnostics
, these eight buttons and the four dry-
contacts have not been implemented in
Button Press Monitor
.
