Scrolling Through Names

The OmniLT stores names for Units, Zones, Buttons, Codes, Temperatures, and Messages so that you don't have to remember that "UNIT 5" is the "DEN LIGHT" and "ZONE 1" is the "FRONT DOOR". In general, any time you enter a unit, zone, button, code, temperature, or message number, you can press the down arrow key to display its name, then use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the list of other names. This is true when entering commands and programming on the console. Only named items are displayed on an OmniTouch touchscreen.

Controlling Units

The control menu is used when controlling lights and appliances. To enter the control menu, from the top-level display or from the main menu, press the 1 (CTRL) key on the console keypad. OmniLT will automatically display the first named item in that list. The down arrow key can then be used to scroll through the list, and the ' # ' key is used to select the item. If the specific item number is known, enter the item number followed be the ' # ' key, or scroll up and down among the named items.

After the unit has been selected, press the ' # ' key. The console will display:

Configuring Lighting Scenes in an HLC Room

Lighting scenes are created by configuring light levels for HLC lighting devices in a room. Each HLC device in a room can store up to four different preset lighting scenes (Scenes A-D) and one “On” Scene (preset lighting levels for each device when the room is turned on). To set a lighting scene using the Omni console, adjust all of the HLC devices in the room to the desired lighting levels. The desired lighting levels (0% - 100%) may be set manually at the switch, or by issuing commands from the OmniLT controller. After the desired lighting levels are set, use the 6 (SET) command to save the new “light levels” for each device in the selected room.

When the scene command is transmitted (either using a Room Controller or by the OmniLT controller), each HLC device in the specified room will brighten or fade to its preset level for the selected scene.
