Installation 1061 SOUTH 800 EAST • OREM, UTAH 84097 • TELEPHONE 801.229.2800 • FACSIMILE 801.224.0355 • www.vantagecontrols.com Overview The Vantage ScenePoint with RadioLink is a wall box dimmer that communicates to the Vantage Control System via a radio transceiver. It is available in 1-4 load configurations that can be mounted respectively in 1-4 gang back boxes. It is powered via the local line feed. Before the dimmer is programmed, or if communication is lost, the dimmer functions in default mode as an independent dimmer. Once a button is programmed it can perform any operation that a standard station supports controlling its own or other loads. Any load on the dimmer may be controlled by any other keypad, IR input, RS-232 or timed event. It supports up to eight keypad buttons on a four gang station, and an optional internal IR receiver.

For new projects it is recommended that firmware and software be kept to the most current release. Load Ratings and Types In multiple gang stations no single load may exceed 5 amps, i.e., a two gang station may have one load at 400 Watts (3.3 amps) and the second load at 600 Watts (5 amps) for a total of 1000 Watts. (See Removing Metal Tabs below.) Number of Gangs Maximum Rating at 120V 50/60Hz Maximum Rating at 240V 50/60Hz 1 5A, 600W 5A, 1200W 2 8.3A, 1000W 8.3A, 2000W 3 12.5A, 1500W 12.5A, 3000W 4 16.7A, 2000W 16.7A, 4000W Minimum Load Required Neutral Station No Neutral Station 15W 50W *CAUTION: To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not install to control a receptacle. The station is shipped in “DIMMING MODE”. To change the default mode to RELAY change the Power Profile to Relay in the Software. The Relay Mode change will not take place until the system is programmed and the RF station is on line. Installation Installation of Vantage products should be performed or supervised by a Certified Vantage Installer. Turn the circuit breaker off and make sure no voltage is present where the ScenePoint Dimmer is mounted. Damage caused by failure to disconnect power may void warranty and is a risk to the installer. Connect the wires as follows: Black to LINE, White to NEUTRAL, Red to LOAD, Green to structure’s safety GROUND. Before turning the circuit breaker on, check to see that all connections are correct (In particular, check to see that the correct wires have been connected to “Line In” and “Load Out”). Minimum Back Box Dimensions Number of Gangs Minimum Back Box Dimensions 1 2.80”h x 1.80”w x 2.5”d 2 2.80”h x 3.60”w x 2.5”d 3 2.80”h x 5.40”w x 2.5”d 4 2.80”h x 7.20”w x 2.5”d With these dimensions most standard back boxes that have the receiving threads for the Dimmer mounting screw inside the box will be adequate. Most back boxes where the receiving threads are outside the box will be too small. Mud Rings If mud rings are specified on a job it is important to test the mud rings for proper fit. Two gang mud rings, in particular, run substantially smaller than back boxes and some brands are not large enough for the station. The only solution is to test the fit first. No Neutral Installation In its standard configuration, ScenePoint with RadioLink requires a Neutral connection to operate. If operation without Neutral is required, a “NO NEUTRAL” station must be specified when designing the project in QLink. “NO NEUTRAL” stations are configured to operate without a neutral connection and are shipped from the factory without a neutral connection. When installing a “NO NEUTRAL” station, a minimum 50 Watt load must be connected to the first gang. “NO NEUTRAL” stations are pre-programmed to allow the load on the first gang to be dimmed from 0% to a maximum of 93% of full on. Relay mode must not be used in the first gang of a “NO NEUTRAL” station. RadioLink ScenePoint Dimmer — Rx
3-Way Switch Application The RadioLink Satellite ScenePoint Dimmer station and Satellite keypad (part numbers: RDSS1-(X) & SK-1) are available from Vantage for 3-way applications. Also, a standard RadioLink ScenePoint Dimmer Station may be used in any 3-way application. Installing a standard RadioLink ScenePoint Dimmer station - as a 3-way switch - is done the same way as a standard installation with the exception that the Red (Load Out) wire is not connected and is properly capped-off. Station Set Up in Software InFusion: First select the room, then click on Vantage Objects in the Object Explorer and expand Stations, RadioLink. From the list of stations double click on the ScenePoint Dimmer Station to place it in the room. In the Object Editor, name the station and make sure it is on the correct RadioLink bus port. QLink: First make sure that the Main Controller is RadioLink enabled in the QLink Project. Select the Controller in Hardware View and look at its properties. It should have RadioLink on one of its RS-232 Ports. To add a ScenePoint RadioLink Dimmer in QLink, right click on the room and from the pop-up menu, select Add RadioLink Station | ScenePoint Dimmer station. This will reveal the RF ScenePoint Station Definition Box. Select the number of buttons and loads according to the configuration of the dimmer station and click OK. Configuration RadioLink stations need to be configured to associate which physical station goes with the station in software. When the station is initially powered-up, the Status LED will blink three times followed by a pause - this means the station is powered correctly but not yet on the network. Before uploading the file to the Vantage system, do the following: From Design Center, click in the Serial Number section in the Object Editor and type in the serial number. From the menu bar in QLink, select System/Configure Stations. A list of all stations will be displayed on the screen. Manually enter the serial number for each RadioLink station to match it with the corresponding programming in QLink. The serial number of each station is located on a permanent sticker and a removable sticker on the front of the station. Remove the sticker with the number only and place on the Station Design Report for easy reference when programming. The Main Controller will add to its network and configure all the RadioLink stations that it has serial numbers for. This may take several minutes depending on the number of RadioLink stations on the network. The Status LED will blink steadily when a station has been added to the network and configured. Default Mode The ScenePoint with RadioLink has a default mode that operates without programming or being connected to the Vantage System. If a ScenePoint has been programmed but communication with the controller is lost, the ScenePoint will revert to default operation. Multiple gang Dimmer loads are numbered from left to right. When default is the desired operation for a button, it may be left unprogrammed and will continue to operate in default mode even if other buttons on the dimmer are programmed. Default Operation Station Type Button to Load Mapping 1-gang Dimmer All buttons control the load. All buttons in first (left) gang. One column of buttons The top button controls the first load. Second button controls second load etc. All buttons in first gang. Two columns of Top left button controls first load. Top right button controls second load. Second row left button controls third load. Station Type Button to Load Mapping buttons Second row right button controls fourth load. One or two buttons per gang. Each button(s) controls the load in its gang. When power is restored from a power outage the Dimmer will return the loads to the last load level. This will occur whether or not the Dimmer is connected to a system. Button Action Load Operation Single Press The load toggles between off and the learned level. The turn on ramp time is 1.5 seconds and the turn off fade time is 5 seconds. Double Press The load ramps to 100% in 1.5 seconds. The second press must be within 1 second of the first press. Press and Hold After a one second delay the load will ramp in the opposite direction from the last press and hold. If the load reaches 0 or 100% it will reverse direction. When the button is released the current load level will be saved as the new learned level for that button. The cycle time is 5 seconds from 0-100%. When multiple buttons control the same load, each button will have its own learn level. Default IR Mode If the ScenePoint has the optional IR receiver, it will have a default IR mode that is active when it is not communicating with a system or when none of the Scene Codes in its IR Zone have been programmed. The Scene Codes 230-239 are transmitted by the Scene buttons 1-10 on the Vantage IR Remote Control. The Scene buttons 1-4, codes 230-233, controls loads 1-4 operating the same as the default operation for a button. Scene 9, code 238, will turn all station dimmer loads on. Scene 10, code 239, will turn all station dimmer loads off. Unlike the buttons, if any IR Scene button is programmed all of the IR Scene buttons stop executing default operation. Service Switch for Lamp Replacement An OFF switch is provided to disconnect power between the Station and the fixture for lamp replacement. Service other than lamp replacement requires the breaker to be switched off. Reset The ScenePoint stores the configuration data locally so that it will continue to operate correctly if communication with the system is lost. This information includes: LED properties, sounder properties, load profile, last load level, and default learn levels. To reset this information to the factory default, press and hold switches 1-3 when power is applied to the station. The board will respond by sounding three slow beeps to indicate that the reset took place. Since buttons do not need to be installed in switches 1-3, the faceplate may need to be removed so that the switch matrix can be pressed directly. After a reset the load profile will be Default, the learn levels will be 50%, the loads will all be off, and other settings will be at factory default. Note: If the Station Load was changed to RELAY this Process will change it back to DIM. Make sure it is back on line with the Main Controller before testing button or load operation.
