Note for Radia Lighting Systems
On Radia lighting systems, channels 1-128 represent Radia lighting presets 1-128. If a channel is
on, then the corresponding preset is on. However, on startup NetLinx resets all channels to 0 (OFF).
Radia does not report the status of its channels when the master comes up, and consequently the
software believes the state of all of the presets is OFF. Therefore, until a preset changes in the
system, the channel states are not reported.
House Lighting Scenes dialog
Design XPress provides up to 12 whole house lighting scenes. These scenes can be activated from
any touch panel in the system. The House Lighting Scenes dialog (FIG. 17) associates the keypad
button numbers to their respective lighting scenes. Each lighting scene requires a lighting system
keypad address and button number.
The elements of the House Lighting Scenes dialog are described below:
