DIP Switch Configuration DIP Switch Configuration This section describes the functionality associated with the various DIP switch settings available on the PRO-DP8 panel. These switches determine the front panel functions and should not be thought of as user accessible. DIP Switch Functions (1-8) The panel functions are set by the configuration of the DIP switch, located on the back of PRO-DP8 panel.
DIP Switch Configuration Using Switches 1, 2 and 3 to Set Button Offset Values The default setting for the DIP switch is all off. Thus, by default, there is no offset assigned to the panel pushbuttons (1-8). Use DIP switches 1-3 to set offsets by factors of four, as shown in the following table.
DIP Switch Configuration Using Switch 7 to Enable Either Preset Recall mode, or Zone Select/Preset Ramping Panel pushbutton 5 (Select buttons) has two possible functions, depending on the setting of DIP switch 7. DIP switch 7 enables/disables the panel’s ability to select zones, or recall presets. Set switch 7 to Off (factory default setting) to enable Zone Select mode, and allow ramping of light levels.
Panel Programming/Operation Panel Programming/Operation 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 6 and 7) simultaneously for 2 seconds.
Panel Programming/Operation Setting and changing fade times 1. Press the Preset button where the new ramp time will be stored. 2. Enter Program mode (indicated by the P LED). 3. Set the fade time by pressing and holding a Preset button for the amount of time you want the fade to occur (the fade is from a currently active Preset level to the next active level).
