Two Options for Programming the Clipsal RF System

There are two options for programming units in the C-8us RF W ireless system The method used depends upon the number of units and complexity of the system This manual describes the first method only

1 Leam Mode C-8us RF Wireless Learn Mode is a simple manual method of programming C-8us RF Wireless Systems Learn Mode is used for small networks with basic functionality or a quick start-up of a network

Toolkit Software C-8us Toolkit is a software program that allows an installer to configure the C-8us RF Wireless Network with greater functionality and enables the configuration to be saved as a project file Additional equipment including a Wireless Gateway C-8us Power Supply and PC I nterface are required to use the software

Relay and Dimmer Wireless Plug Adaptors Instruction Bulletin

The RF Wireless Networks range may be limited by obstructions RF interference or distance To enable two devices on the same RF wireless network to communicate vvhen limitations exist the repeater function on any device can be enabled (See Enabling a Repeatermiddot)

All units on one network need the same network address (also called a house code) One or more units can be added to a network One unit is designated to transmit a house code to all other units selected to be on a network Follow the steps in the table below to create a network

Unit Reset

Memory Feature

63249-420middot309A1 092009

The unit reset clears a C-Bus Wireless unit to its original factory default settings This is recommended when making the unit part of a new network (when changing from a single to multiple network installation)

To reset a unit back to its factory default state

1 Confirm the unit is not in Learn Mode (The leam LED is off when the unit is not in Learn Mode)

2 Press the Clear button The Learn LED turns red and the LEO indicators blink to indicate the unit is ready to dear

3 Press and hold the Clear button for approximately 5 seconds until the LED indicators stay on for one second then tum OFF

All C-8us units have on-board non-volatile memory that is used to store the operating state in case of line power loss After a power outage the C-Bus Wireless Unit restores its onoff and dimmer level states according to the states before the power outage Restoration occurs approximately 10 to 20 seconds after power resumes

The units memory also stores operating states when units are turned off using keypad buttons This allows a dimmer to revert to the previously set dimming [evel when it is turned back on

Enabling a Repeater

Relay and Dimmer Wireless Plug Adaptors Instruction Bulletin

If units on a network are unable to communicate a repeater is enabled to extend the range of the network The unit with the repeater function enabled receives and transmits other units messages so that two devices out of range from each other can communicate Messages can be repeated through a maximum of four units with repeater functions activated See example below

Figure 3 Repeater Functions for Wireless Units

Repeaters can be enabled at anytime without affecting a units previous programming

To enable a repeater

1 Choose the unit closest to the unit having communication problems to tum on the repeater function

2 Press the Learn button to activate [earn mode on the chosen unit

3 Double quick press the Clear button The Learn LED changes from red to blue to indicate that repeater function is activated

4 Press the Leam button to exit leam mode

VVhen you activate learn mode on a unit Nith the repeater function enabled the Learn LED is blue To disable the repeater function on the unit repeat the steps above The Learn LED returns to red when the repeater function is disabled

If enabling a repeater function resolves communication issues leave the repeater activated on that unit If communication is still unreliable activate the repeater function on one or two other units Networks work best when no more than 3 or 4 units per network have the repeater function activated

Grouping Buttons Together

63249-420-309A1 092009

Group two or more buttons from different wireless units on the same network together to control a load from different locations This is useful for example if you wanted to tum ON a lamp from a wall switch across the room After the buttons on the lamps plug adaptor and on the wall switch are grouped together the occupant can turn on the light using the lamp or wa ll switch

NOTE If a VVireless Plug Adaptor is already programmed refer to the Unit Reset section to clear the local control button to its original default state before grouping buttons together

1 Press the Learn button on one of the units about to be grouped

2 Press the button to be grouped on the same unit (On the Wireless Plug Adaptor th is is the local control button)The Learn LED flashes during transmission This may take a few seconds The Learn LED turns on for all units in the network

3 Press the buttons on the other units to be grouped together For each button added to the group the buttons LED indicator Nill turn on

4 Press the Learn button on any grouped unit to exit learn mode
