The Relationships Between Rooms, Zones, Presets And Dimmer Channels
The Wall Dimmer / Houselite system supports up to 8 “logical” ROOMS. Wall Panels reside in the ROOM
selected by their ROOM switch.
Within each ROOM, there are 12 ZONES. A ZONE can be thought of as a “super-channel.” Looking at
the five-lamp example system below, let’s say there are three overhead cans and two wall sconces.
ZONE 1 is configured to control the three overheads while ZONE 2 controls the sconces, all at 100%
level. ZONE 12 is a hybrid zone; it controls the middle overhead and both sconces at levels less than
100% as described below.
Now, within each ROOM there are also 12 PRESETS, which can be thought of as “super-zones.” In the
example, PRESET 1 controls ZONE 1 (the overheads), and PRESET 2 runs the ZONE 2 sconces.
PRESET 3 controls ZONE 12, the hybrid zone.

ZONE channel assignments can be level-limited. For instance, if ZONE 12 is designed to be a low-level
house light function, then it’s three channel assignments can be set independently to something less than
100%, let’s say 75% for the middle overhead and 50% for both sconces. This arrangement, whenever
PRESET 3 is activated, or the ZONE 12 fader is adjusted, the maximum intensity of the associated
dimmer channels is limited to the programmed levels.
Similarly, PRESET channel assignments can be level limited. Above, PRESET 2 controls ZONE 2, but
with a maximum level of let’s say 75%. When PRESET 2 is pressed, the wall sconces will automatically
fade to 75%. However, someone can still use the ZONE 2 fader to set the sconces to 100%.
There are up to 48 Dimmer Channels in a full LWD2400 system. A ZONE can control any number of
those 48 channels at completely independent levels.
There are 8 ROOMS in a full House Lights system, with each ROOM containing 12 PRESETS. A
PRESET can control any number of ZONES in its own ROOM, again at completely independent levels.
