Ramp Command (ALC)
When ALC Switch Modules are being used, it is possible to ramp the lighting level of an ALC Dimmer Switch to a new level at a selectable ramp rate. Only ALC Dimmer Switches respond to the Ramp command.
Press the 5 (RAMP) key to select the ramp command. The keypad will then prompt you for the desired ramp rate:
ENTER RATE:
MINUTES
The rate specifies the time it takes the switch to go from full off to full on, or from full on to full off. Thus a level change from full off to 50% on will take half the time specified.
Before any digits are entered, the ' # ' key may be used to switch between specifying the rate in minutes, seconds, and hours. After you choose between minutes, seconds, and hours, enter the rate
Next, enter a number
