PRO-DP16 Decor 16-Button PROlink Wall Panel

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. Select the channels you want to work with and begin programming your Presets.

Wiring the PRO-DP16

The PRO-DP16 uses a 4-pin PROlink connector for power and data, located on the back of the

panel.

PROlink wiring guidelines

! Use 24-gauge twisted-pair cable for runs of 300 feet (91.44 meters) and under.

! Use 22-gauge shielded low-capacitance cable for runs of up to 1,000 feet (304.8 meters).

! Additional panels can be daisy-chained or connected directly to the Pack's terminal.

! Avoid connecting more than three PRO-DPs to a Pack without a separate power supply

for the panels (see the Using a PROlink 4-pin connector with an external 12 VDC power

supply section on page 9 for details).

Preparing captive wires

You will need a wire stripper, and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.

1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.

2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring

diagrams and connector types described in this section.

3. Turn the flat-head screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector. Do not over-torque

the screws; doing so can bend the seating pins and damage the connector.

Using a PROlink 4-pin connector for data and power

These steps describe how to connect the dimmer Pack's PROlink connector to the PROlink

connector (male) on the rear panel of the PRO-DP16 for data and 12 VDC power.

1. The captive-wire terminal on the PRO-DP16 is wired to an orange captive-wire terminal on the

Pack. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector, according to the wiring

diagram shown in FIG. 3.

Check for short circuits and continuity before connecting panels to the PROlink

connector on the dimmer Pack.
