• Allows the user to change the number of buttons that are used on a wallstation.
Ex. A wallstation was shipped from the factory as a 7-button wallstation, but a 3-button button kit was
ordered.
• A llows the user to divide a wallstation into more than one column that can each have different column
types and be assigned to different loads, etc.
Ex. A 10 button wallstation can be modified to have two 5 button columns that each act as an
independent wallstation.
• A wallstation can be divided into no more than 4 columns.
• One button (1B) columns are allowed.
• Allows the user to enable or disable a button, its backlight LED or its status LED.

• Allows the user to change the button on the wallstation to which the two CCIs are mapped.
• F or Scene columns, also has the option of changing the recalled scenes of the column when the CCI is
closed versus when the CCI is open. This is known as "Scene Banking".
Ex. A Scene 1-3 column can become a Scene 4-6 column when CCI1 is closed, and back to a Scene
1-3 column when CCI1 is open.
Changing the Column Type ........................................................................................................................9
• A llows the user to change the column type of each column in the wallstation without requiring a
GrAFIk EyeR QS control unit or Energi Savr NodeT unit.

Ex. A Scene Ir remote with 5 buttons would activate Scenes 1-4 and OFF. Ex. A Shade Ir remote with 5 buttons would activate Shade Open, Preset1, Preset2, Preset3, and Shade Close. • Button-mapping mode allows the buttons on the Ir remote to map to the buttons on the wallstation. Ex. A ny type of Ir remote with 5 buttons pointed at a Scene 7-10 & OFF wallstation would recall Scenes 7-10 & OFF when the buttons are pushed. Ex. A ny type of Ir remote with 5 buttons pointed at a 5 button Zone Toggle wallstation would perform the same actions that the wallstation buttons perform when the buttons on the Ir remote are pressed. Programming Lockout ..........................15 • P revents accidental reprogramming when wallstations are mounted in public spaces by locking the wallstation out of all programming modes (including Programming Mode, Shade Association Mode, Shade Preset Adjust Mode, Shade Limit Set Mode, APM, Advanced Configuration Mode (ACM), etc.). Also prevents any programming from being changed in Normal Mode when individual buttons are held.

Page 5: C Changing Wallstation Button Columns
Application Note #428 Changing Wallstation Button Columns Note: S ome wallstation models ship from Lutron with certain buttons disabled (i.e. European style wallstations with spaces between the buttons). If buttons are disabled on a wallstation, they must first be enabled before they can be added to new columns. Please see section D “Enabling or disabling a button, backlight LED, and/or status LED” on page 6. Functionality: To change the number of buttons in a column: 1. H old down the top and bottom buttons of the new column you wish to create for 30 seconds. (If creating a one button column, hold down the appropriate button for 60 seconds) 2. O nce the hold time elapses, the status LEDs of the newly created column will blink simultaneously. This puts the newly created column into APM. 3. T o exit APM, hold the top and bottom buttons of the new column for 3 seconds (if it is a 1B column, hold the single button for 10 seconds). 4. Once the hold time elapses, the wallstation will return to Normal Mode. To create more than one column on a wallstation: • U p to four separate and independently functioning columns on a wallstation can be created by using the same steps above but with unused buttons. -

Tapping the buttons will raise/lower the level of all assigned zones by one percent. Holding the buttons will smoothly raise to high end or smoothly lower to low end. 2B Sequence Type: The sequence column type causes all the assigned scene controllers to continuously cycle through their scenes (either Scenes 1-4 or Scenes 5-16) using the programmed fade times for each scene. This is useful for spaces that desire dynamic lighting such as decorative lighting or displays in retail stores. 2B Panic Type: Panic type causes all the assigned scene controllers to go to Scene 16, and temporarily disables all buttons presses and ignores scene or zone level changes. 2B Timeclock: Timeclock type allows the user to enable or disable the Timeclock on a Grafik EyeR QS control unit. Pressing the top button of the 2B column enables the Timeclock and pressing the bottom button disables the Timeclock. Shade Type: In shade type, the top button of a column becomes the Open button and the bottom button becomes the Close button for the associated LutronR SivoiaR QS shades/draperies or third party AC shades. If the wallstation has more than two buttons, the middle buttons between Open and Close serve as programmable preset buttons for LutronR SivoiaR QS shades/draperies, or “stop” buttons for...
