PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Preset 10 Architectural Two is a further development of our popular Preset 10 Architectural controller. The Preset 10
Architectural Two (PRE10A2) offers new features and different wiring options. The new features of the PRE10A2 include a
grand master, pile on mode (input + preset), jumper selectable button modes (radio or push on/push off), and a two gang form
factor that allows PRE10A2 to fit in all two gang back boxes. The PRE10A2 has separate input and output ports allowing
merging incoming levels with the local preset. This cascading of inputs allows creation of systems where multiple PRE10A2
stations and a live theatrical console can share control. Additionally, systems can be created where multi-room control is
required by a single dimming system.
The Preset 10 Architectural Two lighting control station capable of storing up to ten presets. These presets are recorded by
capturing the output of a DMX512 console. Each preset can then be assigned a unique fade time, from 0 to 999 seconds.
Presets are recalled by pressing one of the buttons.
Systems can be created by using one or more stations and a power supply. The solid aluminum faceplate is designed to install
over a standard two gang electrical box. Connections to the Preset 10 Architectural Two are power (2 wires) and DMX512 (3
wires). Power for the Preset 10 can be supplied from a variety of sources, including a 10V class 2 “doorbell” transformer.
The Preset 10 Architectural Two system can work in conjunction with a lighting console, automatically switching between
preset and console control or by combining the console’s levels with the active preset. In switch over mode when the console
generates DMX the Preset 10 Architectural Two goes off-line. The console then operates normally. Upon loss of DMX from
the console, the Preset 10 Architectural Two either returns to its pervious preset or holds the last look (jumper selectable).
In combining mode the Preset 10 Architectural Two merges the levels from the console with the levels of the currently active
preset.
