Product Information Product Information The PRO-DP16 is a 16-button wall panel designed to directly control AMX Radia Lighting™ systems. It is a PROlink panel that gets its power and data from a Radia Lighting Controller attached to the dimmer control cards. PROlink panels do not have addresses and can be chained together with minimal setup requirements. Each wall panel provides individual control of up to 60 channels (zones) via up to 10 dimmer control cards connected via the PROlink bus.
Product Information PRO-DP16 Overlay FIG. 1 shows a standard PRO-DP16 overlay. There are no numbers or labels screened on a standard blank overlay. The buttons and LED labels are shown here to describe their orientation. Custom engraved overlays are available on request.
Product Information PRO-DP16 Pushbuttons and LEDs (Cont.) Pushbuttons (1-16 Cont.): 16 (Mode) Cycles through the four Program modes: • Program - Allows you to program presets. • Pack - Allows you to program pack assignments on the panel. • Curve - Allows you to program dimming curves on the panel. • Low-end - Allows you to program low-end settings on the panel. The panel must be in Program mode before the Pack, Curve or Low-end modes can be selected.
Product Information (via the rear-panel DIP switch), it is possible to have multiple PRO-DP16 panels in a Radia Lighting system, without conflicts. ! For more information on setting offset values to the panel pushbuttons, refer to the Using Switches 1, 2 and 3 to Set Button Offset Values section on page 16. Packs Packs refer to the Dimmer Control Cards (such as the RDD-DM4/DM6) and/or Integrated Dimmer Modules (such as the RDC-DC/PDC).
Product Information Sample Product Application You can use the PRO-DP16 with Radia Dimmer Packs to control lighting zones.

Wiring and Installation Wiring and Installation Preparing the PRO-DP16 and Dimmer Control Cards Assigning Pack numbers on the dimmer control cards Each dimmer card in the system must have its own unique PROlink device number, or Pack number. The Pack number is assigned via the PROLink DIP switch (SW2) on the dimmer control cards: 1. Turn Off the breaker on the dimmer control card. 2. Set the Pack number assignment on the individual dimmer control card via the PROlink Address DIP switch (SW2).
Wiring and Installation 3. While the PGM LED is active, press MODE (pushbutton 16) until the PCK LED lights. 4. Select the Pack number by pressing the pushbutton number associated with the desired Pack. Alternatively, press Select (pushbutton 13) to cycle through all of the on-line packs. 5. Wait approximately 7 seconds to allow the selection to be recorded into PRO-DP16 memory (during this time do not touch any button on the panel). Once the selection has been recorded, the PCK LED turns off. 6.

Use a 12 VDC power supply when more than three PRO-DP16 panels are used with one Pack. Refer to the Using a PROlink 4-pin connector with an external 12 VDC power supply section on page 9 for more information.
Wiring and Installation 12 VDC power supply PWR (+) GND (-) PRO-DP16 +12 PR+ PRGND Pack 1 Pack 2 +12 PR+ PRGND FIG. 4 PROlink wiring diagram using an external 12 VDC power supply Do not connect the PWR wire to the PROlink connector’s PWR (+) terminal on the control system side of the connector. 2. Connect the PROlink connector to the panel (see the Preparing captive wires section on page 8). 3. Check PROlink LED on the rear side of the panel.
Wiring and Installation Phasing If you experience erratic ramping with your lights, it is possible that the dimmer control card could be wired out of phase. Check and correct power wiring and repeat the Preset test steps (see Testing). If the green PROlink status LED stays on, or nothing happens when the Presets are selected, check the Pack number value on the dimmer control card. Set the dimmer control cards to different Pack numbers by using the PROlink DIP switch (SW2) to set the Pack number.
Wiring and Installation Troubleshooting The following table gives solutions to the most common installation problems. Solutions to Common Installation Problems Problem Resolution Presets fade erratically. Check phasing. Panel LED stays on. Check the PROlink wiring, Pack number, and dimmer Pack settings. Cannot select zones 1 - 6. Check Pack number and mode settings. No operation. Check PROlink wiring/power connections. All lights stay On.
Wiring and Installation Sample Wiring Diagram FIG. 6 shows a sample equipment wiring diagram using two Radia Lighting Dimmers and three PRO-DP16 wall panels. This illustration shows the two packs wired to two 120 VAC single-phase 20A breakers.

DIP Switch Configuration DIP Switch Configuration This section describes the functionality associated with the various DIP switch settings available on the PRO-DP16 panel. These switches determine the front panel functions and should not be thought of as user accessible. DIP Switch Functions (1-8) The panel functions are set by the configuration of the DIP switch (FIG. 7), located on the back of PRO-DP16 panel. The factory default is for all the switches to be in the Off position.
DIP Switch Configuration Using Switches 1, 2 and 3 to Set Button Offset Values The default setting for the DIP switch is all off. Thus, by default, there is no offset assigned to the panel pushbuttons (1-16). Use DIP switches 1-3 to set offsets by factors of four, as shown in the following table.
DIP Switch Configuration ! If DIP switch 6 is Off, and offset is set to zero (DIP switches 1-3 Off), recall Preset is 12. Use FIG. 10 to determine the recall Presets associated with various Presets when DIP switch 6 is Off.

Panel Programming/Operation Panel Programming/Operation The following sub-sections describe programming (recording) preset light levels, fade times, low-end settings, and using dimmer curves. Program Mode The panel must be in Program mode in order to do any programming. To enter Program mode, DIP switch 8 must be set to Off (its default setting). To enter Program mode, press the Up and Down buttons (pushbuttons 14 and 15) simultaneously for 2 seconds.
Panel Programming/Operation Programming Defined Presets The number of Presets available to program depends on the setting of DIP switch 7. If DIP switch 7 is set to Off (Default mode), pushbuttons 1-10 are available as Preset buttons, and pushbuttons 11-16 are used for other panel functions (i.e. Clear, Off, Select, Up/Down, and Mode selection. If DIP switch 7 is set to On (Preset Recall mode), all pushbuttons (1-16) are available as Preset buttons.
Panel Programming/Operation Setting and changing fade times 1. Press the Preset button where the new ramp time will be stored. 2. Enter Program mode (indicated by the PGM LED). 3. Set the fade time by pressing and holding a Preset button for the amount of time you want the fade to occur (the fade is from a currently active Preset level to the next active level). The new fade time is recorded when the button is released. 4.
Panel Programming/Operation Setting levels 1. Select the Pack you want to set levels on. 2. Select the Channel that you want to set levels on. 3. Use the UP and Down buttons (pushbuttons 14 and 15) to raise/lower the light level for the selected Pack/Channel. 4. Repeat the preceding steps as required for other Channels, per Pack. Raising and lowering levels 1. Select the Pack and Channel you want to set levels on. 2.
Panel Programming/Operation For example, to select curve 10 (Non-dim in the following chart) you must press "1", then "0", then "Off". Pressing "10" then "Off" does not work. 5. Press Off (pushbutton 12) to record the Dimmer Curve setting. 6. The panel automatically exits Curve Select mode.
Panel Programming/Operation 7. The panel automatically exits Low-End mode. Panel Operation The following sub-sections describe using the panel to recall, adjust, and ramp programmed presets. These instructions assume that the panel has already been programmed. Recalling a programmed Preset To recall a programmed Preset, simply press the Preset button associated with the Preset. The LED next to the selected button lights to indicate the active Preset.
