    Important Programming Notes To use the advanced features of the new Chelsea Digital Switch, please ensure the following: • Always set a Chelsea Digital Switch as a “14 Button Switch” in the Panel/Switch Types screen. This is true even if the switch only has 1, 2 or 3 physical buttons. The reason for this is because advanced programming requires setting parameters for buttons 7-14, even though they are “virtual”...

The operation of this field is almost identical in operation to the “7 ON = __”. The parameters are the same as those given in Table 1.1 above with a few exceptions noted below.

    Table 1.5 9-14 disable 1-6 Determines whether “virtual” buttons 9-14 can be used to disable buttons 1-6 on the physical switch. For example, if virtual Button 9 is set to turn on relay X, then any time relay X is ON, the physical Button 1 will be disabled. If relay X is OFF, then Button 1 will function normally.

Whatever value is selected will be how long the and 5.00 sec. user must hold down the button before its programming is activated. For example, setting the value to 2.00 sec means that when the user first presses a button on the switch, nothing will happen.

    The Switch Setup Screen (Second Screen) The Switch Setup Screen has additional parameters shown on a second page in the DTC screen. Along with the Debounce option on the first screen, these parameters are global in that they override any local LED logic set in the EDIT menu and apply to all buttons on a switch.

  • Page 96: Toggle Mode

    Table 3.2 Toggle mode Sets how the button synchronizes multiple relays when toggling. For example, if a switch button is toggling relay X, relay Y and relay Z, the user can decide what happens when relay Y is ON and relays X and Z are OFF. The least desirable behavior is to have the relays just flip states so that no matter how the TOGGLE button is pressed either, relay Y is OFF and relays X and Z are ON, or relay Y is ON and relays X and Z are OFF.

  • Page 99: How Do I Make A Switch Give An Audible Alert During A Blink Warning Period

    Question: How do I make a switch give an audible alert during a blink warning period? Answer: It is a fairly common request to have users notified a few minutes before the lights turn off, so they have an opportunity to override the offsweep. Instead of having the lights flash, or a separate horn installed, the new switch can be set to generate a beeping alert pattern as a warning that the lights will be shutting off shortly.
  • Page 100 9. That’s it. Now, at the end of the schedule, the switch will start beeping to signal that the lights will be shutting off shortly. If the user presses the override button on the switch, the beep alert will stop, and the lights will stay on for an additional 2 hours (or whatever duration the Timer was set to in the Maintain+Blink Group).

    Question: How do I set up a room with a partition, so that the switches change their function depending on whether the partition is open or closed? Answer: Let’s take a scenario where a room has a switch on the north wall, a switch on the south wall, and a partition that can separate the room into a north half and a south half.
