control processor's NVRAM disk. To set where the system will store its
runtime data and XPanel pages, select the Compact Flash or NVRAM
button. Note that some processors do not provide a Compact Flash slot. Here
both options will be disabled and all runtime data will go to NVRAM.
D3 Pro supports the use of a "virtual" keypad called the Virtual CNX-B12.
This keypad is included in the Interfaces toolbox and can be programmed
just like a real keypad, except that the virtual keypad has no Network ID and
does not exist physically on the network.
The purpose of the virtual keypad is to provide a simple interface for a
remote Crestron processor to control lighting. Virtual keypads must be
exported via a remote system definition (see page 44), or RSD file, in order
to be available to the remote processor. If your project will include virtual
keypads you can select the Automatically add remote system check box.
This will add a remote system automatically as soon as the virtual keypad is
added, without need to manually bring it into the project in Equipment View.
As long as the check box remains selected any additional virtual keypads will
automatically be exported via that RSD.
3. Click the Location tab to specify the location of the residence where you will
install the lighting system. You can select from the list of regions and major
cities, or manually enter the longitude, latitude and time zone. (If you
schedule events according to an Astronomic Clock, D3 Pro uses the
longitude and latitude to calculate sunrise and sunset times.) You can also
select the option to automatically adjust the internal control system clock for
daylight savings.
4. Click the Notes tab to type comments about your project. This and other
system information will be included in any documentation that you generate.
5. Click the Lighting tab to set the size of the circuit breaker (the choices are 15
or 20 amps), which limits the maximum current that can be supplied by a
single feed. The circuit breaker size is determined by the location of the
residence.
You can also enter a Transformer Loss percentage, which applies only to
magnetic low-voltage or neon cold-cathode loads, and specifies the expected
loss factor for a magnetic transformer. The loss factor is included in the
calculation of a controlled circuit's total wattage.
Finally, you can enter a default Ramp Time, which specifies the number of
seconds it takes to ramp dimmable lights from 0% to 100% during manual
Raise and Lower operations.
6. The Vacation Scheduler is a built-in utility that memorizes and replays light
levels over a one or two week period. This is useful, as the name implies, for
maintaining a semblance of occupancy while on vacation. The available
scheduling options are:
Record Period: Records lighting levels for the selected period, 1 or 2 weeks.
When the period is over, a new recording period begins and the new values
overwrite the old values.
