Page 217 Modifying Scene Settings and Response The WaveLinx system allows for sixteen programmable scenes per standard area and thirty-two programmable scenes per partitioned area. These scenes are labeled scene 0 through scene 15 (standard) or 0 through scene 31 (partitioned). Each scene is pre-programmed for light levels, ON/OFF responses, or white tuning levels to allow for functionality from occupancy sensors and wallstations once devices have been paired in the construction group or assigned to an area.
Page 218 It may be helpful to rename scenes to allow tenant users to identify scene functionality more easily. If WaveLinx Touchscreens are used in the system, hidden scenes will not be displayed. The scene names that appear on the touchscreen will be the names defined for the scenes in the WaveLinx App.

Page 367 Using the Onboard Display The WaveLinx Networked Relay Panel has an onboard display used for initial configuration in preparation for connection to the WaveLinx Area Controller. The onboard display also allows for manual overrides to the relays and dimmer channels connected to that relay cabinet. This section will describe the onboard control functions.
Page 368 Commanding Individual Relays When possible, use the WaveLinx Mobile App or WaveLinx devices to command the relays. Before the panel is connected to the WAC, or if necessary, after WAC connection, individual relays can be commanded from the onboard display. The command will remain in effect until the next command from the display or WaveLinx system occurs.
Page 369 Once power returns and the relays go to their programmed power-on state, they will remain in that state until the next command is received from the onboard display or WaveLinx system. If the power-up state differs from the last relay state, the WaveLinx App will not reflect the correct status for the relay.
Page 370 AND the physical lock switch on the relay must be engaged for the relay to be in a locked state. • If the relay lock switch is disabled and the physical LOCK switch on the relay is engaged, the panel will process WaveLinx commands to that relay in the order they are received.
Page 371 Viewing and Commanding Dimmers If the relay panel has been ordered with the optional panel mount or remote mount WaveLinx Panel Dimming Module, use the main display to view status and adjust the light level of the dimmers real-time. The adjusted light level will remain in effect until the next command is received.
Page 372 Use the display to change the power-on level. Once power returns and the dimmers go to their programmed power-on level, they will remain at that level until the next command is received from the onboard display or WaveLinx system. If the power-on level differs from the last level issued, the WaveLinx App will not reflect the correct status for the dimmer.
