Scene Commands

Scene Commands are used to Set Scenes, issue a Scene On command, and issue a Scene Off command. To issue Scene Commands, press the 2 (SCENE) key. You are prompted to enter a Scene number.

ENTER SCENE: 1-64

Enter the Scene number (1-64) followed be the ' # ' key.

SCENE 1

0=OFF 1=ON 2=SET

Scene Set Command

The Scene Set command is used to set up Scenes for a lighting group. Set the desired lighting level for each of the units in the lighting group for the first Scene. The desired lighting level may be set manually at the switch, or by a command issued from the controller. After the desired lighting levels are set, press the 2 (SET) key to save the first Scene for that group. Commands are sent to each of the four units in that group to instruct each unit to save its current lighting level as the lighting level for the Scene. Repeat these steps to set up each of the remaining three Scenes for that lighting group.

Scene On Command

Once the Scenes have been set up, press the 1 (ON) key to command the four units in that Scene to return to the lighting level set by the Scene Set command for that Scene.

Scene Off Command

Once the Scenes have been sent, press the 0 (OFF) key to command the four units in that Scene to turn off.

Notes:

1.When sending Scene Commands, the controller must be configured to allow Extended Code transmissions on each House Code affected by a Scene.

2.The Scene Commands always apply to a group of four consecutive units, which are units 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, and 13-16 on a particular house code. You must address the units accordingly so that the desired units fall into the appropriate lighting groups.

3.The actual Extended Code Scene commands use a "group reference" that matches that sent by a Leviton Wall-Mounted Scene Controller set to the same address as the first unit in the lighting group. This allows wall-mounted controllers to be easily used for manual Scene selection.

UPB Links

In a UPB network, all control operations are done using Links. Omni IIe can transmit and receive up to 250 Links on the UPB network. Links are used to logically “connect” events on one or more devices to actions on one or more other devices. When two or more different devices share a common Link, they are said to be “linked” together. They can now communicate with each other over the powerline using the Link as a common identifier in all of their communications.

The power of Links is that you can “link” more than two devices together. For example, one keypad controller pushbutton can be linked to four UPB Wall Switches allowing the single press of that pushbutton to trigger all four lights to go to preset or absolute levels. In addition UPB Wall Switches allow for a preset light level and fade rate to be associated with each Link.
