User manual

11 Sensor+ CEM+ Configuration Manual
at the CEM+. Levels set here take priority over any other level inputs, such as control
consoles and architectural control systems. Levels set here do not take priority over levels
generated by an active Panic look.
The button on the CEM+ face panel accesses this menu directly.
Release Levels
The Release Levels menu allows you to release the level of a dimmer or a range of
dimmers. Once released, those dimmers are available to other control inputs.
Set Module Type [ User ]
The Set Module Type menu allows a User to set a dimmer or range of dimmers to a specific
module type and firing mode. If the module is set to “Fluorescent”, you also set the
threshold in this menu. Threshold is the control level that must be present for the
fluorescent dimmer to output voltage based on the selected curve.
Set Curve [ User ]
The Set Curve menu allows a User to set a dimmer or a range of dimmers to a specific
curve. A dimmer curve is a mathematical function that maps control levels to RMS output
voltage. Curves are scaled from the minimum voltage to the maximum voltage (settings that
are not available to the User login). The CEM+ supports the following curves: Square, Mod
Square, Linear, Mod Linear, Sensor 2.0. See Dimmer Curves, page 52, for more
information.
Set Dimmer Name [ User ]
The Set Dimmer Name menu allows a User to name a dimmer. Names are alphanumeric
and can be up to 20 characters long (not all 20 characters will be visible on the LCD).
Dimmers are assigned a default name of “Dimmer#####” where ##### is a five-digit
number up to 32767.
Set Firing Mode [ User ]
The Set Firing Mode menu allows a User to set a dimmer or a range of dimmers to a
specific firing mode. Available modes include Normal, Off, Switched, Fluorescent and DD
(Dimmer Doubled).
• Off: turns the dimmer off.
• Normal: operates as a standard incandescent dimmer.
• Switched: dimmers output unregulated AC voltage when the control level is above the
threshold level.
• DD (Dimmer Doubled): dimmer operates as two controllable circuits. See Dimmer
Doubling™ (60Hz systems only), page 4.
Note: Changing the dimmer firing mode will cause a change to default settings for curve,
minimum voltage, maximum voltage, threshold and regulation. Whenever a dimmer
mode is set the defaults for that mode will be applied to the other dimmer properties.
Set Properties [ User ]
The Set Properties menu allows a User to set Voltage Regulation, Dynamic Preheat, DC
Output Prevent and Inrush Settings for a dimmer or range of dimmers.
• Voltage Regulation: when enabled, the dimmer will regulate to the desired output
voltage. When disabled, the dimmer will be set to a constant firing time based on the
control level. This setting defaults “on”. The ability to disable regulation is sometimes
useful when dimming non-tungsten loads.
