When set to RadioRA, the OmniLT controller can:
Send commands (on, off, and level) to individual Switches and Dimmers
Receive status (on and off) from individual Switches and Dimmers
Receive commands when buttons are pressed on Master Controls
Execute Phantom Button commands

About ALC

ALC is intended for installation in homes, which have been pre-wired for installation of ALC system products. OmniLT controls
lights and appliances by sending commands over the ALC signal wiring to ALC Switch Modules. ALC Switches communicate
with the OmniLT over low voltage signal wire. They are two-way devices, so the controller always knows the actual status of the
switch. In addition, ALC switches can be used to set scenes by triggering macros in OmniLT.
When ALC Lighting Control Modules are being used, it is also possible to "ramp" the lighting level of an ALC Dimmer Switch to
a new level at a controllable ramp rate.

ALC Module Types

The ALC modules types are: Dimmer Switch, Relay Switch, Slave Switch, Program Switch, and 4-Button Scene Switch Modules.

About X-10

The OmniLT controls lights and appliances by sending commands over your existing electrical wiring to special switches, outlets,
receptacles, and modules, collectively referred to as X-10. Each module (or group of modules) is assigned a House Code and a
Unit Number so that the OmniLT can control the modules individually. When a module hears a command from the OmniLT for
its house code and unit number, it executes the command.
There are 3 different X-10 formats: Standard X-10 (Preset Dim), Extended X-10 (Extended Level), and Compose.
Any module that is "X-10 Compatible" will work with the OmniLT. The modules come in various types.

House Code

OmniLT can control up to 16 lighting and appliance devices. Each device (switches, modules, and keypad) has its own Unit
Number (1-16). The "House Code" is used to configure the lighting protocol format such as: Standard X-10, Extended X-10,
Lightolier Compose, UPB (open UPB format where you can use the programming capability in the OmniLT controller to
communicate with the UPB network), Lutron RadioRA, CentraLite, or HAI Lighting Control (HLC). Only one House Code can
be configured on OmniLT.

Unit Numbers

OmniLT systems have 36 total Unit Numbers. They consist of HLC, UPB, CentraLite, RadioRA, ALC, Compose, or X-10
module unit numbers, hardwire voltage output unit numbers, and internal flag unit numbers as follows:
OmniLT Unit Numbers
1 - 16
17 - 24

26
27 - 28
29 – 36
Module / Output Unit Numbers
HLC Room 1 and 2, UPB Unit ID 1-16, ALC addresses 1-16, CentraLite loads 1-16, RadioRA
