Ramp Command (ALC)
When ALC Switch Modules are being used, it is possible to ramp the lighting level of an ALC Dimmer Switch to a new level at a
selectable ramp rate. Only ALC Dimmer Switches respond to the Ramp command.
Press the 5 (RAMP) key to select the ramp command. The keypad will then prompt you for the desired ramp rate:
ENTER
RATE:
MINUTES (1-99) #=H/M/S
The rate specifies the time it takes the switch to go from full off to full on, or from full on to full off. Thus a level change from
full off to 50% on will take half the time specified.
Before any digits are entered, the ' # ' key may be used to switch between specifying the rate in minutes, seconds, and hours.
After you choose between minutes, seconds, and hours, enter the rate (2-99 seconds, 1-99 minutes, or 1-10 hours).
Next, enter a number (0-100) to indicate the final lighting level (intensity) desired.
LIGHTING LEVEL:
0-100%:
The keypad will beep and the lighting level will be adjusted. The keypad display top line will read:
