Things to know for basic and more advanced applications:
Basic Application - The D3208 Multizone Controller can be installed solely as a
dimmer to control up to 8 loads, including 2 auxiliary loads. There are
programming and operating procedures that will not be applicable for this type of
configuration. For ease of use, the basic programming and operating steps will
be flagged with a
B
icon.
NOTE: If there is not a
to proceed.
Advanced Application - The D3208 Multizone Controller can also be used as
part of a D3200 dimming system, utilizing an LCnet communication bus. Using
this type of installation will require more preparation and thought, as well as
additional programming and operating steps. These steps will be flagged with an
A
icon. If using a multiple device configuration, please note the following:
• How many rooms will be used in the application?
• How many devices will be used in the application?
• How will the rooms will be partitioned and how many groups and
configurations will be used. Refer to the following Partitioning section and
Figure 6 for an example of Partitioning.
Refer to Panels Programming Section in the SETUP WIZARD for additional
information.
PARTITIONING
The D3208 enables you to adjust the lighting levels based on room partitioning.
Each arrangement of the movable walls in a partitioned room corresponds to a
particular configuration. A configuration is a collection of information–settings
and parameters–that is based on the arrangement of walls of a partitioned room.
As the walls change, the configuration selection will need to change as desired.
GROUP
A group is a collection of zones (i.e., loads 01-06) that is assigned a group
number. A maximum of 64 groups per configuration may be programmed to the
D3208. A single zone set (i.e., 01-06) may be assigned to more than one group,
corresponding to different configurations. Each zone will belong to a group.
CONFIGURATION
A configuration includes all of the information for zones, groups and scenes.
Programmed scenes are called for a particular group. For example, in
configuration 1, zones 1-6 can be all part of group 1 and have scenes 01-08
programmed for certain light levels (refer to Figure 5). But in configuration 2,
zones 1-6 are part of group 2 and scenes 01-08 are programmed to different
light levels and names.
