Ramp Command
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. X-10 compatible switches and Compose lighting does not 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.

X-10 units (1-16) may also be dimmed or brightened for a specified period of time. The unit may be dimmed (1-9) steps for 1-99
(minutes or seconds), or 1-18 hours, then brightened back to its previous level; or brightened (1-9) steps for 1-99 (minutes or
seconds), or 1-18 hours, then dimmed back to its previous level.

the control menu is redisplayed with the specified times shown.
