A Houselite system can accommodate up to 8 ROOMS. These ROOMs are logical groupings of devices
and don’t have to correspond to actual physical rooms in a building. A ROOM is a group of 12 ZONES,
each ZONE corresponding to one or more dimmer channels on the LWD-2400.
A Houselite system can contain up to 12 wall panels in any one ROOM. A wall panel may contain only
one fader or preset button, or may have 3, 6 or 12 faders and/or preset buttons as the system designer
chooses. A wall panel may also contain a keyswitch panel to disable certain panels.
A ZONE can be controlled directly by a fader on a wall panel, or by a preset button on a wall panel that
controls that one ZONE or a group of ZONES within the ROOM, or by the programming menu on the
LWD-2400.
Within each ROOM, 12 PRESETS can be defined. A PRESET allows control of multiple ZONES at the
touch of one button. A ZONE controls multiple dimmer channels, and can be controlled by one fader on a
wall panel.
The system default is ZONE 1 = dimmer channel 1 at 100% = PRESET 1 and similarly for each ZONE up
to ZONE 12.
To summarize:
•
An LWD dimmer system consists of up to 8 ROOMS.
• Each ROOM consists of 12 ZONES
• Each ZONE is programmed to control one or more dimmer CHANNELS. The default assignment is
ZONE 1 controls only CHANNEL 1, ZONE 2 controls only CHANNEL 2, etc.
•
Any ZONE can be controlled directly by a wall panel FADER control.
• Button PRESETS are programmed to control one or more ZONES. The default assignment is
PRESET 1 controls only ZONE 1, PRESET 2 controls only ZONE 2, etc.
