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
