3.0 Scene Control
The implementation of scenes has many benefits. At the press of one button, a C-Bus
®
user has the
control of many individual loads. These loads may be turned on, off or dimmed to a level.
There may be a requirement to have certain lights set to various levels for different functions. For
example, say a dining room area has multiple low voltage lights. A scene could be used to set the
light above the dining table to 100% and all others to 50%. This could be accomplished with a single
button press. After dining, another scene could be used to configure the lounge room lighting in
readiness for the guests.
3.1 Units with Scene Capability
Many C-Bus units have the ability to store and execute scenes. These include:
• C-Bus Neo Wall Switches with Dynamic Labelling Technology (DLT)
• Ulti Saturn Series Wall Switches
• Reection Series Wall Switches
• The Scene Master Scene Controller
• The C-Touch Colour Touch Screen
• The C-Touch Black & White Touch Screen
• The Multi Sensor.
This section focuses on the Neo
®
unit. However, the principles are similar for all scene capable units.
The aim is for an individual button to control multiple loads (lights etc) to suit a particular requirement.
Most products have manuals which contain useful information relating to scene programming for a
specific unit type.
The majority of C-Bus units which are capable of scene control are C-Bus input units. C-Bus output
units must be used in conjunction with scene capable units for a scene to be useful. Loads (such as
lights) are controlled by C-Bus devices such as dimmers and relays, which must provide sufficient
current carrying capability for the load.
