Intelligent Building Series C-Touch User’s Guide

11.0 Scenes

One of the benets of an automation system is that you can combine several events together

to create a special effect. An example of this is the experience obtained when attending the

movies: the house lights dim, the drum roll from the sound track plays, the curtain opens

and the movie begins to play. You can create exactly this effect by using a “scene” triggered

by your C-Touch unit. Anything on your C-Bus system can be included in a scene. Ask your

installer for information on how scenes can be used to set special moods.

12.0 Schedules

A schedule is used to make something happen at a particular time. Since this feature

is included in the touch screen, you can ask your installer to set it up to do useful work

around the house on a regular basis. An example would be to turn the lights on when

you are away from home to make the house look lived in. You can create the impression

to the casual observer that someone is home and that they are moving from room to

room at various times. Other examples would be things that are hard to remember like

watering the garden on a regular basis.

NOTE: The schedules in the C-Touch unit must be created on a computer running the

conguration software. These schedules are ten downloaded to enable their operation.

13.0 Care Instructions

C-Touch contains electrical and electronic parts to support its powerful functions. Be sure

to note the following precautions.

• Clean regularly using a soft lint free cloth (be sure to use the “Cleaning page”

to avoid undesired triggering of events)

• Do not use chemicals or spray cleaners when cleaning C-Touch

• Do not operate with wet hands

• Do not use hard, sharp objects to select controls

• Allow adequate ventilation. Do not cover unit

• C-Touch is designed for indoor use only

• Do not expose unit to direct sunlight (reduces remote control range)

14.0 Power Failure

All C-Bus units have onboard non-volatile memory, which is used to store the operating state

of the unit in case of a C-Bus power loss. The levels will be restored according to the setup.
