Product Information Product Information The PRO-DP8 is an 8-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 12 channels (zones) via up to 3 dimmer control cards connected to the PROlink bus.
Product Information PRO-DP8 Overlay FIG. 1 shows a standard PRO-DP8 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-DP8 Pushbuttons and LEDs (Cont.) LEDs: Channel LEDs (1-6) Shows the channel (1-6, 7-18, or 13-18) that is currently selected, depending on the DIP switch offset setting. See the Using Switches 1, 2 and 3 to Set Button Offset Values section on page 16 for more information. Program (P) LED Lights when the panel is Program mode, allowing you to program presets. To enter Program mode, press the up and down arrow buttons (6 and 7) simultaneously until the PGM LED lights.
Product Information 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). Each LED on the PRO-DP8 zone/channel LED indicator represents one lighting channel/zone. The PRO-DP8 controls up to 3 Packs; each individual Pack housing up to 6 lighting channels. Each Pack is connected to the PRO-DP8 via PROlink cable. The PROlink cable provides power to the PRO-DP8 panel, and communication between the panel and pack(s).
Product Information Sample Product Application You can use the PRO-DP8 with Radia Dimmer Packs to control lighting zones. The PRO-DP8 can control up to three Packs.

Wiring and Installation Wiring and Installation Preparing the PRO-DP8 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. Change DIP switches 4 and 5 to match those values listed in the following table for the number of desired Packs (1-3). DIP Switch Settings for 1, 2 or 3 Packs DIP Switch 4 DIP Switch 5 Pack 1-3 OFF OFF Pack 1 ONLY Channels 1-6 (Pack 1) Result ON OFF Packs 1 & 2 Channels 1-12 (Packs 1 and 2) OFF ON Pack 2 ONLY Channels 7-12 (Pack 2) ON ON Packs 2 & 3 Channels 7-18 (Packs 2 and 3) 4.
Wiring and Installation PRO-DP8 +12 PR+ PRGND Pack 1 Pack 2 +12 PR+ PRGND FIG. 1 Wiring diagram for connecting the PRO-DP8 to a single dimmer control card Additional panels can be daisy-chained or connected directly to the Pack's terminal. Use a 12 VDC power supply when more than three PRO-DP8 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-DP8 +12 PR+ PRGND Pack 1 Pack 2 +12 PR+ PRGND FIG. 2 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 12 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 - 12. Check Pack number and mode settings. No operation. Check PROlink wiring. All lights stay On.
Wiring and Installation Sample Wiring Diagram FIG. 4 shows a sample equipment wiring diagram using two Radia Lighting Dimmers and three PRO-DP8 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-DP8 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, located on the back of PRO-DP8 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 (1-8). Use DIP switches 1-3 to set offsets by factors of four, as shown in the following table.
DIP Switch Configuration Pack Offsets for DIP Switches 4, 5, and Associated Channels Preset Offset DIP switch 4 DIP switch 5 Channels Pack 1 ONLY OFF OFF 1-6 Packs 1 & 2 ON OFF 1 - 12 Pack 2 ONLY OFF ON 7 - 12 Packs 2 & 3 ON ON 7 - 18 Using Switch 6 to Offset the Off Button (Pushbutton 8) In multi-panel installations, you must offset the Off button (pushbutton 8), so that pressing Off on the panel doesn’t turn off other panels on the PROlink bus.
DIP Switch Configuration Using Switch 7 to Enable Either Preset Recall mode, or Zone Select/Preset Ramping Panel pushbutton 5 (Select buttons) has two possible functions, depending on the setting of DIP switch 7. DIP switch 7 enables/disables the panel’s ability to select zones, or recall presets. ! Set switch 7 to Off (factory default setting) to enable Zone Select mode, and allow ramping of light levels. In this mode, pushbuttons 6 and 7 function as Up and Down buttons for ramping a selected preset.
Panel Programming/Operation Panel Programming/Operation 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 6 and 7) simultaneously for 2 seconds. The P LED on the front of the panel lights to indicate that Program mode is active.
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 P 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.
