This manual, after a basic description of the system and its components in this chapter, presents everything you need to know to successfully install the Dimensions D3200 System. The second chapter covers wiring, assembly, and mounting. The Programming chapter helps you program settings that enable D3200 components to work together to create a customized installation.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • MULTIZONE CONTROLLER About Zones A zone is either a single load or a group of loads controlled as a single entity. Every lighting load hardwired to a D3206 or D3208 is associated with a zone number that is based on the terminal number to which it is connected.
It provides a unique entry pad interface with a learning infrared receiver for use with a compatible Leviton remote control or a standard remote control. The NE505 can be programmed so the user can select amongst four consecutive scenes in a specific group.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • IR REMOTE CONTROL INFRARED REMOTE CONTROL Leviton’s NE210 Infrared Remote Control (Figure 1-5) has been specifically designed to allow scene control from up to 40 feet from any D3206/8 or NE505 Controller (once the IR codes have been programmed into each controller).
SYSTEM OVERVIEW • SETUP SOFTWARE D3200 SETUP SOFTWARE D3200 Setup Software is a software tool for setting up the D3200 System, as well as storing these settings and downloading them to additional components. It allows you to enter all names, zone information, groups and configurations, timed events, and more, via a familiar interface.
SMARTJACK The SmartJack is a low voltage Class II wiring device that installs in a standard wallbox. For the installer or user to use the D3200 Setup Software for system configuration or customization, the SmartJack must first be installed and wired to the LCnet. The SmartJack (Figure 1-10) comes with a cable for connecting it to a personal computer or laptop.
This section, combined with job drawings you may have in your possession (and possibly some forms the lighting designer has completed) should provide you with all you need to know to install the Dimensions D3200 Architectural Lighting Control System.
(2) splicing the wire and connecting with wire nuts. If using wire nuts, make sure to use the appropriate size for a good connection. Node Limit A single D3200 System LCnet can have up to 100 devices attached to it. Additional LCnet bus(es) must be installed if your installation requires more than 100 devices.
INSTALLATION • POWER CONSIDERATIONS POWER CONSIDERATIONS SmartJack Wiring The Multizone Controller powers the SmartJack. Because it is not associated with any single address on the LCnet, the SmartJack’s power wires can be connected to the nearest Multizone Controller. To do this, splice the SmartJack’s LCnet connections to the nearest point in the LCnet wire.
INSTALLATION • POWER CONSIDERATIONS Example To be sure NOT TO exceed the Multizone Controller’s input current in a conference room with four partitions (1) Determine how many of each component you’d like to install—assume three NE505’s, two NE600’s, and one NE100. (2) Use these quantities along with the Multizone Controller Load Rating Verification Formula (Figure 2-4) to do the math (Figure 2-5) and verify that the combined input current DOES NOT exceed the maximum input current.

Each device is shipped Push in 2 Locations with a single color change kit for the switch or jack itself. A matching wallplate can be ordered separately.
NOTE: This chapter walks you, the installer, through programming function by function. While this may be easiest for those who are new to the system, if you are already familiar with the D3200 (or similar lighting control systems) you may want to program the Multizone Controllers according to...
D3206/8 programming. Only the first two sections (Entering Basic Setting and Setting the Date & Time) must be done for every D3200 System. Most programming is required to enable specific functions you may or may not need in your installation, such as adjusting controllers to various partition configurations.
Multizone Controller. You will only need to use a portion of these instructions if you are installing only a single Multizone Controller. On the other hand, if you are installing a more complex D3200 system you will probably be assigning Panel Numbers (addresses) to each Multizone Controller.
PROGRAMMING • BASIC SETTINGS 7. Press Select/Next again. A. If you are using multiple Multizone Controllers attached to an LCnet, press Select/Next again and continue to Step 8, skipping the Set Scene Mode screen which you’ll come back to later if you’re doing partitioning.
If you would like at least one of the Multizone Controllers to access loads attached to other Multizone Controllers, then you must program "remote zone control" into your D3200 System. Doing this early on in the programming process will ease the remaining programming—as it will allow you to program multiple units from a single controller and save you the effort of walking to each unit to program it separately.

PROGRAMMING • LOAD/ZONE INFO Instructions 1. Press the Wizards button and then the Up or Down button to select SETUP WIZARD. Press the Select/Next button to access the SETUP WIZARD. 2. Press the Up or Down button to select the ZONES screen and press Select/Next. 3.
Configurations before you start to program the system. About Groups & Configurations The D3200 System, through the D3208 Controller, handles partitioning as well as access to remote zones through what Leviton refers to as Groups and Configurations. A GROUP IS a collection of zones that is assigned a unique number. In most, basic situations all six, local zones on a single Multizone Controller are assigned to one group.
PROGRAMMING • PARTITIONING EXAMPLES CONFIGURATION 1 BALL ROOM CFG 1 D3208-A D3208-B 10/15/01 4:32PM Figure 3-4 presents a configuration that is appropriate NE505 when all partitions are down and the space is Group 1 converted into one, large room. In this configuration, any Multizone Controller can be used to adjust all lighting at once.
• The specifier, lighting designer or end user may have used Leviton’s D3200 Partition Setup and Checklist Form to record how each configuration should be set up. If so, get a copy of these forms. If not, you may want to fill in the forms yourself.
D3200 System. PROGRAMMING SCENES If the D3200 defaults are not adequate for the scenes you need to set up, now is the time to program specific scenes. In this section you will be defining scene names, fade-transition rates to desired scenes, and Zone dim/bright levels.
PROGRAMMING • SCENES Instructions SKIP directly to Step 11 if you are installing a single Multizone Controller or multiple units NOT attached to an LCnet. Unless you want all groups to have the same scene selections, you must first switch the Scene Mode setting from its default (Common) setting.
PROGRAMMING WALL CONTROLLERS TO WORK WITH A REMOTE Every D3200 System wall controller has a Learning Infrared Receiver. This receiver allows users to program buttons on any compatible handheld remote control (including Leviton’s NE210) to select a range of scenes and OFF.
D3206/8 Multizone Controller The IR WIZARD allows for the programming and remote control of up to eight lighting scenes using a Leviton NE210 IR Remote or 32 lighting scenes using any standard IR Remote—as well as MAX, OFF and GROUP DIM/BRIGHT.

PROGRAMMING • NE505 WITH SCENES Instructions Program each NE505 using a D3208 that’s within the same group as the group from which you want to recall the scenes. Don’t forget to change the configuration at the Multizone Controller each time before programming the next range of scenes.
This chapter will help you verify that the system and its components are properly installed and operational. Please follow all steps that apply to your installation. If any test uncovers a problem, follow the instructions that follow to resolve the issue. If you still cannot solve it, call Leviton’s Tech Line. TESTING EACH MULTIZONE CONTROLLER Every D3206 and D3208 unit’s local operations should be separately tested.

TESTING & TROUBLESHOOTING • SCENE CONTROLLERS Scene Control 1. Check each scene by pushing each scene button and verifying (a) that the LCD displays the right scene name and (b) that the loads adjust to the right levels. If the lights adjust appropriately, the CONTROLLER HAS PASSED THE TEST.
TESTING & TROUBLESHOOTING • NETWORKED CONTROLLERS TESTING MULTIZONE CONTROLLERS NETWORKED TOGETHER Do these tests only if you have multiple Multizone Controller’s working together via LCnet wiring. Scene Control You should perform this test as long as all controllers have the ability to work as one group. (This is always the case if there is no partitioning.) The default out of the box is one group.
At this point you should make sure that the groups you have set up are appropriate for the various partition setups you are trying to accommodate. If you have been given filled-in D3200 Partition Setup & Checklist Forms, (which you probably used as your guide while programming combine and separate configurations) please get those out now.

APPENDIX B • SPECIAL PARTITIONING APPENDIX B Partitioning with One D3208 Closet Wall Sconce Spotlight D3208 You can use the D3208’s ZONE 1-3 combine/separate features to split the Fluoresent Fixture Group 1 ZONE 4-6 loads wired to a single MultiZone Controller between two or more NE505 Scene Controllers.
Although it may be the more common and straightforward, the most basic groups within the D3200 System DO NOT need to directly correspond to the loads hardwired to it. If you have more than six zones in one area and have spare, unassigned zones on another Multizone Controller, you can use those spare zones to accommodate the extra zones.
