indicator is turned off. Likewise, if the “On” indicator or one of the scene indicators is illuminated, and then all of the lighting
loads are turned off at HAI UPB™ Wall Switches and/or Dimmers, the “Off” indicator will illuminate and any others are turned
off.
About House Controllers
The HAI UPB™ 8-Button House Controller allows for controlling all 8 rooms of lighting where HAI UPB™ Wall Switches,
Dimmers, and Modules have been installed. It can also be configured as a general purpose 8 button keypad controller used to
trigger 8 different macro programs in the Omni IIe controller or to toggle between two different actions (i.e. turn lighting load
on...turn lighting load off) each time a pushbutton is pressed.
When used to control rooms of lighting in the HLC structure, each button on the House Controller is used to toggle all of the
lights in the respective room on and off. When the room is turned on, the LED indicator behind the respective button is
illuminated and all of the lights in the room are turned on. When the room is turned off, the LED indicator behind the respective
button is turned off and all of the lights in the room are turned off. If a lighting load in the respective room is turned on, the LED
indicator behind the button is illuminated. When all lighting loads in the respective room are turned off, the LED indicator behind
the button is turned off.
When used to control rooms of lighting in the HLC structure, each House Controller controls 8 consecutive rooms (i.e. Room 1-
8). To configure a House Controller to control a group of 8 rooms, it must be set to the last unit number in one of the respective
rooms. For example, a House Controller set to Unit 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, or 64 is configured to control rooms 1-8. This
allows you to have up to 8 House Controllers throughout the house that control rooms 1-8.
Within the HLC structure, House Controllers can also be configured as a general purpose 8 button keypad controller that is used
to trigger 8 different macro programs in the Omni IIe. When configuring a House Controller as a general purpose 8 button
keypad controller, it must be set to a unit number between the first and last unit number in a room (i.e. 2-7, 10-15, 18-23, 26-31,
34-39, etc.). When configured as a general purpose 8 button keypad controller, programs must be created in the Omni IIe
controller for the LED indicator behind each button to function.
About CentraLite
CentraLite is a centralized lighting control system that uses hardwired lighting control technology to control lighting loads, fans,
and mechanical low voltage relays.
CentraLite lighting scenes are used to control groups of lights which are preset to turn on to various levels of dimming.
When set to CentraLite, the Omni IIe controller can:
¾ Send commands (on, off, and level) to individual loads and relays
¾ Receive status (on and off) from individual loads and relays
¾ Execute scene commands (on and off) to control of up to 255 CentraLite lighting scenes
¾ Receive commands when buttons are pressed on a CentraLite keypad (up to 127)
About Lutron RadioRA
Lutron RadioRA uses wireless communication technology to control lighting. Each Switch or Dimmer controls one Zone, or area,
of lighting in a RadioRA system. Accessory Switches and Dimmers are used to control the lights locally from up to 9 additional
locations. Master controls provide control and monitoring for all the lights in a RadioRA system.
Phantom Buttons are “virtual” buttons in the RS232 Interface. Though there are no physical buttons that represent these Phantom
Buttons, they work very similarly to buttons on RadioRA Master Controls. Phantom Buttons are intended to give the RS232
Interface control over multiple RadioRA Switches and Dimmers with one command. To control more than one device at one time,
Phantom Buttons are recommended.
A Zone is any individual RadioRA Switch or Dimmer. A RadioRA System has a maximum of 32 Lighting Zones. Zone Numbers
can be used to identify any individual Zone (one Switch or one Dimmer), in a RadioRA system via the RS232 Interface. The
Chronos System Bridge and Timeclock bridges two RadioRA systems for a total of 64 Lighting Zone Controls and 24 Master
Controls.
