Presets, Channels And Zones - AMX PRO-DP8 DECOR PROLINK FLUSH MOUNT KEYPAD PANEL Instruction Manual

PRO-DP8 Pushbuttons and LEDs (Cont.)
LEDs:
Channel LEDs (1-6)
Program (P) LED
Additional channel (6+) LED
The first time PROlink is wired to a PRO-DP8 panel, each LED on the panel lights in sequence,
starting with LED 1 and ending with the 6+ LED. Recycling power to the panel resets the
PRO-DP8 to its default setting (Channel 1 LED lights and is active).

Presets, Channels and Zones

A Preset is a set of instructions used for the recall of a stored scene (a group of lighting levels). A
group of lighting levels is also known as a zone. The PRO-DP8 uses channels to control zones.
Each channel represents a controlled lighting zone. Preset fade time is the amount of time it takes to
fade from one Preset light level to the next. A zone's light level is the intensity of light produced
between the On/Off states.
When a Preset is selected, the active zone/channel moves to the specific light level stored in
memory for that Preset. Lights associated with a particular zone/channel fade from one Preset to the
next based on the length of time that you have selected for the fade intervals, in one second
intervals (default = 3 seconds). The PRO-DP8 can select and change PRESETS 1 through 4 and
Off.
A PRO-DP8 has a specific value associated to each Preset button on the panel. For installations
where multiple PRO-DP8 panels are used to share control of a single Pack, you can set identical
Presets on more than one panel. Multiple panels that share all or some of the same presets can be
used to perform identical functions on a particular pack.
For installations with multiple panels controlling multiple Packs, there can't be any overlapping in
Preset assignments; therefore, by offsetting the values for the individual buttons on different panels
(via the rear-panel DIP switch), it is possible to have multiple PRO-DP8 panels in a Radia Lighting
system, without conflicts.

PRO-DP8 Decor 8-Button Wall Panel
Shows the channel (1-6, 7-18, or 13-18) that is currently selected, depend-
ing on the DIP switch offset setting. See the Using Switches 1, 2 and 3 to
Set Button Offset Values section on page 16 for more information.
Lights when the panel is Program mode, allowing you to program presets.
To enter Program mode, press the up and down arrow buttons (6 and 7)
simultaneously until the PGM LED lights.
Lights to indicate that a channel higher than 6 is selected (this LED works
in conjunction with LEDs 1 through 6).
For example, if channel 8 was selected, then LED 2 and 6+ would light
simultaneously, depending on the DIP switch offset setting. See the Using
Switches 1, 2 and 3 to Set Button Offset Values section on page 16 for
more information.
For more information on setting offset values to the panel pushbuttons, refer to the Using
Switches 1, 2 and 3 to Set Button Offset Values section on page 16.
