SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

ProSys is designed to provide flexibility without compromising

simplicity in installation and operation. The Special Functions

described here may be used to enhance the operation of your

system, but they are not required in most installations.

Patterns

A Pattern is a combination of ONs and OFFs for a group of

relays which creates a scene. Any button on a dataline switch

may be softwired to create such a scene.

Simplifying Rule: If any button of a switch unit is softwired as

a Pattern, ALL of the buttons on that switch unit should be

softwired as Patterns.

When the relay pattern for a switch button is “true”, the LED

for that button will be ON RED. If “not true” the LED will be OFF.

Example – An office with four 3-lamp fluorescent

fixtures and six wall wash units (see Figure 5):

We want the local switch to provide 1⁄3, 2⁄3 and Full On for the

fluorescents, and separate control of the wall-wash units. The

form below in Figure 7 shows how the four buttons on a

quad switch would be softwired to create this switching

function. All of the buttons are wired as Patterns.

Reviewing the LED operation shows why this is important

(see Figure 6). When the occupant toggles the top button ON,

relay 01-01 will turn ON and relay 01-02 will turn OFF to give

1⁄3 lighting. The LED for 1⁄3 will turn on red. Pressing the second

button causes the relay states to reverse, giving 2⁄3 lighting.

The 1⁄3 button LED turns off (since its pattern is no longer

“true”) and the 2⁄3 LED turns on. Similarly, pressing the Full On

button turns ON both relays giving full lighting, the 2⁄3 LED

turns off, the Full LED turns on. Everything is as it should be.

If, on the other hand, we had softwired the third button as a

standard ON/OFF group, we would have seen an odd response.

Whenever, buttons 1 or 2 were turned on, the third button LED

would be on green, showing a mixed state for its relays.
