Panel Programming/Operation; Program Mode; Defined Vs. Undefined Preset Levels - AMX PRO-DP16 DECOR PROLINK FLUSH MOUNT KEYPAD PANEL Instruction Manual

Panel Programming/Operation

The following sub-sections describe programming (recording) preset light levels, fade times,
low-end settings, and using dimmer curves.

Program Mode

The panel must be in Program mode in order to do any programming. To enter Program mode, DIP
switch 8 must be set to Off (its default setting).
To enter Program mode, press the Up and Down buttons (pushbuttons 14 and 15) simultaneously
for 2 seconds. The PGM LED on the front of the panel lights to indicate that Program mode is
active.

Defined vs. Undefined Preset Levels

There are two ways to approach programming presets - as Defined, or as Undefined.

If no buttons are pressed, the panel automatically exits program mode after
approximately 10 seconds. The PGM LED turns off when Program mode is cancelled.
If you make a mistake, or decide not to record changes, press and hold the Up/Down
buttons for 2 seconds again to cancel Program mode.
Defined Presets have all levels defined as part of the programmed preset. You can
program a preset for Channel 1 to set a specific light level (i.e. 50%), and, once saved, the
Channel 1 preset button will always set Channel 1 to 50%. Assuming that there are other
defined presets saved, switching from one defined preset to another (via programmed
preset buttons on the PRO-DP16) turns off the first preset before going to the next one.
For example, if you had programmed several channels as defined presets, as you select
any preset, the previous preset is turned off.
Undefined Presets leave all levels as undefined. Undefined is a level command that
allows a dimmer to be ignored during the recording of a preset; it has no defined level.
Undefined presets are not affected by selecting other presets. For example, you can
program an undefined preset for Channel 1, and a defined preset for Channel 2. In this
case, switching from Channel 1 (undefined) to Channel 2 (defined), does not affect (or
turn off) Channel 1. It stays on until another level is specified (via the Up/Down buttons
on the panel). Use undefined presets any time you need to select more than preset on the
PRO-DP16 panel simultaneously, without affecting the state of the other channels.
