You can also check the state and (if any) the remaining time duration of any Unit.

HLC or UPB device.

Note: Only HAI manufactured UPB™ devices (collectively referred to as HLC devices) can be configured using an OmniLT
controller. Other UPB™ devices may be used, but cannot be configured using the OmniLT controller; they must be configured
using a PC running the UPB™ UPStart configuration software.


Configuring HLC Devices

HLC devices can be configured using an Omni console or OmniTouch touchscreen connected to the OmniLT controller. When
configuring HLC devices, the following information is programmed into the HLC device:

¾ Network ID (UPB Network ID configured in OmniLT controller)
¾ Network Name (HAI Lighting)
¾ Unit ID (Unit Number of respective unit)
¾ Unit Name (which is the name description given to the respective unit in the OmniLT controller)
¾ Room Name (using HLC, the name of the first unit in the respective group is used; otherwise the room number is used)
¾ Links (every device in each room is programmed with 6 consecutive Links, starting with Link 1; for example, every device

in Room 1 is programmed with Links 1-6, Room 2 is programmed with links 7-12, etc.)

¾ Other configuration information


When configuring HLC devices using an Omni console or OmniTouch touchscreen, each device (unit number) must first be
assigned a name in the OmniLT controller. HAI recommends that you first configure your OmniLT controller (naming all of the
HLC units) using the HAI PC Access Software, and then download the information to the OmniLT controller.


Configuring HLC Devices using an Omni Console

To configure HLC devices from an Omni console, use the Status menu. To enter the Status menu, from the top-level display or
the main menu, press the 6 (STATUS) key on the console keypad.

console will display:

You may enter a unit number to display the selected unit, or simply press the down arrow key to scroll through the list of named
units.

When the desired unit is displayed, put the selected HLC device into Setup Mode (See - Setup Mode for HLC Devices), and then
press the ' # ' key twice (i.e. # #). The display will provide you with step-by-step configuration status. When complete, the
