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 Omni IIe 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.

Living Room SET 1=ON 2-5=A-D

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

Each lighting scene can also be set or easily changed using the pushbuttons on the HAI UPB™ 6-Button Room Controller, as follows:

Step Operation

1Press the desired pushbutton on the HAI UPB™ 6-Button Room Controller to activate the current scene (preset lighting level) in each of the HLC devices.

2Use the local Decora-style rocker switch on each UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmer(s) to set the desired lighting level(s) or issue commands from the Omni IIe controller.

3Press the pushbutton on the HAI UPB™ 6-Button Room Controller five (5) times quickly.

4Each UPB™ Wall Switch Dimmer will flash its lighting load one time to indicate that the new level has been configured.
