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 (1-99) #=H/M/S

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 (2-99 seconds, 1-99 minutes, or 1-10 hours).

Next, enter a number (0-100) to indicate the final lighting level (intensity) desired.

LIGHTING LEVEL:

0-100%:

The keypad will beep and the lighting level will be adjusted. The keypad display top line will read:

Entry Lights 40% AT 1H

Scene Command (Compose)

If Compose lighting switches are part of your installation, the Scene (SCN) command is used to set a group of lights to predefined lighting levels. There is an Off command, an On command, and 12 lighting scenes for each group of Compose lighting switches.

SCENE:

0=OFF 1=ON 2-13=A-L

Enter 0, followed by the ' # ' key, to turn the lights that are part of the selected group off. Enter 1, followed by the ' # ' key, to set the lights that are part of the selected group to predefined lighting levels.

To set the lights in the selected group to a predefined scene, enter the Scene number 2-13 (which corresponds to Scene A-L, respectively), followed by the ' # ' key. All lights that are part of the selected group are set to the predefined lighting levels for the selected Scene.
