In order to control a switch/breaker using the DSM250, create a screen with a switch/breaker which has been configured to refer to the switch bank instance and indicator number of the switch/breaker you want to control.

In normal operating mode, use the “Scroll Up” and “Scroll Down” keys to change to the screen containing the switch/breaker. Once that screen is displayed, follow these steps to change a load’s state:

1.Press the “Enter” key for approximately one second. This will place the display into “Control mode”, and one of the switches/breakers on the screen will be highlighted with a thick border, as shown in Figure 252 below.

2.If there is more than one switch/breaker on the screen, you may use the “Scroll Up” and “Scroll Down” keys to change the highlight to a different switch/breaker.

3.Once the switch/breaker for the load you want to control is selected, then press the “Power” key. The load referenced by the switch/breaker will be commanded to change state, and the changed state will be reflected in the switch/breaker.

4.To change other loads, repeat the process.

5.To stop controlling loads, press the “Lights” key to return to normal operating mode. The highlight will disappear.
