Definitions • Host Product - any SmartPack, SmartSwitch, Unison DRd with SmartLink or Sensor+ with SmartLink within a system that sends specific host messages to other SmartLink enabled products in the system for preset and sequence synchronization. • Station Master - any SmartLink enabled host product, with a LinkPower Supply (S-LPS) or Station Power Module (S-SPM) installed that is configured via the menu to control wall stations.
If “Preset 1” is activated from the facepanel of a SmartPack: That SmartPack will act as the host product and send its host messages to the other SmartLink enabled products in the system to activate “Preset 1”. The preset will activate with the same fade up time, hold time, and fade down time as sent from the host product.
Contact ETC for assistance. A LinkPower supply must be installed into one SmartPack Wall Mount and is required to operate up to four wall stations per SmartLink system. The LinkPower supply is available factory installed or as a kit (S-LPS) for field installation.
It is possible to record a preset from a wall station if “Remote Record” has been enabled in the station master. See “Remote Record” on page 14. All SmartPack and SmartSwitch products on the SmartLink network will record the current output levels for the preset that is assigned to that button.
