Emergency – This check box allows you to specify that a given fixture should be
connected to a module supplied by an "emergency feed". An emergency feed is a
feed that will still have power (via a generator) when there is a power outage. Note
that you cannot connect emergency and non-emergency circuits to the same control
module. This means that once you connect fixtures to a module you may not be able
to change the emergency setting without first disconnecting the circuit from the
module.
Fixture Watts – Each fixture has a default wattage, which you can change by
entering a new value. If you enter a wattage that, when multiplied by the fixture
quantity, exceeds the capacity of a single circuit breaker, the entire row will be
highlighted in red and you will not be allowed to connect this fixture to a control
module.
You select the size of the circuit breaker in System Properties. Note that according to
the National Electrical Code the maximum load that can be connected to a 20 Amp
circuit is 16 Amps (1920 Watts at 120 Volts). The maximum load that can be
connected to a 15 Amp circuit is 12 Amps (1440 Watts at 120 Volts).
Fixture Quantity – The fixture quantity is used to calculate total wattage.
Total Watts – If you enter a fixture wattage and quantity, the total watts will be
calculated automatically. Otherwise, you can enter a total wattage. Entering a value
manually in this field will cause the Fixture Watts and Fixture Quantity fields to
display "--". The total wattage includes any transformer loss you specified for
magnetic and cold-cathode loads (as set in System Properties).

Advanced Lighting/Motor Properties

The Load Schedule View provides advanced lighting and motor properties that are
not shown on the main Load Schedule screen. For lighting, select Advanced
Lighting Properties from the list at the bottom of the Load Schedule screen. The
properties here include values for Lower Limit, Upper Limit, and Override Level.
You can also change the load type and dim setting, in addition to enabling record
mode for individual circuits. Only lighting circuits will appear in this list.
Lower Limit and Upper Limit define the lower and upper limits for dimming. (If
the Dim check box is cleared, then the Lower Limit and Upper Limit fields are not
available.)
Upper Limit is the maximum intensity that the controlled circuit can achieve
regardless of the programmed level. A circuit with an upper level of 95% will never
get brighter than 95%, even if a button has been programmed to set that light to
100%. Similarly, Lower Limit is the minimum intensity prior to shutting off. If a
