1 PURPOSE
OMEGA is a microprocessor controller for multi-spot LED lighting, intended for LED lighting of staircases
(and other passageways), with separate control of each lamp. It can be operated with a mobile app for
Android 5.0 or newer (e.g. on mobile phones or tablets) via the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.0)
technology. Omega is the ‘Exclusive’ model of smartLEDs staircase controllers.
The basic function of the controller is switching on LED lamps (simultaneously or consecutively), and
switching them off after a predetermined time. Some other functions include: smoothing out the
switching on/off; constant backlight lighting; warning when the lights are about to switch off; dimming
lights.
The OMEGA controller includes:
 built-in smart dusk switch (IDS) with separate light sensor, which disables the controller during
daylight; light sensor can be placed either indoors or outdoors;
 built-in real-time clock (RTC).
2 DESCRIPTION
2.1 Terminals

smartLEDs OMEGA User manual v0.0.2
© APACHETA Smart Systems page 3/20
2.1.1 Power supply
The controller requires external power supply with regulated DC output, safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
in the range of 8–24 V DC (typically: 12V DC); it should also have a minimum current load of 200 mA. The
power is supplied to the GND terminal (ground, minus) and the 12V terminal (plus).
CAUTION! Only use power supplies marked  with galvanic insulation of the output voltage from the
mains supply.
2.1.2 Inputs
 UP – controls the light movement up;
 MID – controls the light movement up and down from the mid-floor;
 DN – controls the light movement down;
 DIS – input used to disable the controller (by connecting the light sensor, external switch or timer).
Only potential-free signals of either connection (ZERO) or non-connection (ONE) to the ground GND can
be applied to the controller’s inputs.
CAUTION! Only use external dusk sensors, switches and timers marked  with galvanic insulation of the
output voltage from the mains supply.
2.1.3 Outputs
OMEGA has 23 outputs L1–L23 that control the LED lamps connected to them. Any LED lamps may be
used, provided that they are supplied from a DC SELV power supply (up to 24 V) with a galvanic
insulation of the output voltage from the mains supply. The maximum current must not exceed 2A per
output. The outputs L1–L23 are connected with the minus (cathode) of the LED lamps.
The outputs can be connected with either dimmable or non-dimmable lamps. Using non-dimmable
lamps disables functions such as smooth switching on/off and constant backlight lighting.
The last two outputs (L22 and L23) may be used as the Master lamp; this lamp is switched on first and
switched off last.
2.2 Integrated Dusk Switch (IDS) with a light sensor
OMEGA is equipped with an integrated dusk switch, and a light sensor (IP67 light probe) is included with
the controller. The IDS responds only to long-term changes in light conditions, ignoring any short-term
fluctuations. As the IDS is smart and does not react to light switched on by the controller, the light
sensor may be used both outdoors and indoors. This makes it more convenient than external dusk
sensors that only work properly with sunlight and must not be exposed to artificial light.
To activate the IDS, (1) connect the light sensor to the DIS and GND terminals; (2) set up the parameter
‘DIS input’ in the OMEGA app (see 3.7 GENERAL CONFIGURATION). Once activated, the IDS will control
the beginning and the end of the DAY mode.
2.3 Real-Time Clock (RTC)
OMEGA is equipped with a real-time clock that may be used to switch the controller’s modes of
operation. When the power supply is off, the clock is powered by a replaceable battery (even for
months). The clock is synchronized automatically every day the Android mobile device connects for at
least 1 minute with the controller.

OMEGA User manual v0.0.2

2.4 Controller’s operation
2.4.1 Operating modes
OMEGA can work in three modes, switched one after another. These are activated and set up from the
CONFIGURATION menu in the app:
 DAY (optional) - the controller is disabled, the lamps are either off or backlit constantly;
 MAX (compulsory) - the controller is active and all of its functions are available;
 NIGHT (optional) - the controller is active like in the active mode but a separate limited set of
functions can be chosen, e.g. switching on the edge lamps only, lower brightness etc.
Mode switching is performed automatically in the order DAY -> MAX -> NIGHT -> DAY -> … Given that
the DAY and NIGHT modes are optional, the alternative combinations are DAY -> MAX -> DAY -> …, MAX
-> NIGHT -> MAX -> …, or just MAX. Starting and ending the DAY mode may be controlled either by the
DIS input or by the clock, while the MAX -> NIGHT and NIGHT -> MAX transitions are controlled by the
clock only.
NOTE: Switching of the modes takes place only when the controller is inactive (either disabled or on
standby).
2.4.2 Controller states
 disabled – the only possible state in the DAY mode; dimmable lights are either constantly backlit or
off; non-dimmable lights are off; the controller does not react to signals from the UP, DN or MID
inputs; can switch into the MAX mode with a signal from the DIS input or the clock.
 standby – a state possible in the MAX and NIGHT modes when none of the inputs UP, DN or MID are
active; dimmable lights are backlit or off; non-dimmable lights are off. In this state, the controller
may switch either into the active state or into another mode.
 active – a state possible in the MAX and NIGHT modes; the controller carries out the lighting
sequence consisting of: switching on the lights; lights on phase; warning (only in the MAX mode);
and finally switching off. At the end of the active state the controller moves into standby.
2.4.3 Switching on the lights
This is the first phase of the active state. There are two available styles: ‘Light wave’ (default) and
‘Simultaneous’. The style of switching on/off the lights and their parameters may be set up (separately
for the MAX and NIGHT modes) in the app (see 3.6 PREFERENCES).
NOTE: If the ‘Switching-on time’ is set to zero, all lamps will switch on simultaneously irrespective of the
style chosen.
‘Light wave’ style – the lamps are switched on one by one with a smoothing effect (subsequent lamps
start lighting up before the previous ones have reached their target luminosity; applies to dimmable
lamps only). The lamps are switched on from the first to the last (if activated by the UP input), from the
last to the first (if activated by the DN input), or from the mid-floor towards both ends at the same time
(if activated by the MID input). If another signal appears at another input, the lamps will start switching
on from the respective end also.
‘Simultaneous’ style - all lamps are switched on simultaneously (smoothly in the case of dimmable
lamps).

smartLEDs OMEGA User manual v0.0.2
© APACHETA Smart Systems page 5/20
Smoothness of switching on/off can be set for dimmable lamps in a very broad range: at one end of the
scale the target luminosity is reached very gently; at the other almost instantly. For non-dimmable
lamps no smoothing is possible.
Master Lamp (used as the main (ceiling, wall) lamp or to illuminate the handrail) – if used, is switched on
first (either before or together with the first regular lamp, depending on the settings) and switched off
last.
2.4.4 Lamps on
Once the lamps are switched on, they remain on for a predefined time (Lights-on time). This time will be
extended if any of the UP, DN or MID inputs receive a signal.
2.4.5 Warning
This is an optional phase of the active state (activated in the app’s GENERAL CONFIGURATION menu).
This signal notifies the user the light is about to switch off and separates the ‘lights-on’ phase from the
‘switching-off’ phase. After the warning signal the system waits for a predefined time for the user to
react. This may be repeated a number of times. The warning signal may either: dim all the lamps for a
while; alternately dim the odd and even lamps; or consecutively dim subsequent lamps, moving back
and forth (pendulum effect). Warning type is set in the app’s PREFERENCES menu.
2.4.6 Switching off the lights
The final phase of the active state is the switching off of the lamps. The lamps are switched off either in
the same or opposite order as they were switched on. The Master Lamp (if set) is switched off after the
last ordinary lamp. The Smoothness parameter is the same as for switching on.
NOTE: If the parameter ‘Switching-off time’ is set to zero, all lamps will be switched off simultaneously
independently of the set Switching-on/off style.
3 OMEGA smartLEDs EN app
3.1 Introduction
OMEGA smartLEDs EN is the English version of the app, which provides a comfortable way to configure
and remotely control the controller as well as easy diagnostics and commissioning of the installation.
The app communicates with the controller via a modern wireless protocol, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE
4.0).
The app runs on any device with Android 5.0 or newer and Bluetooth BLE 4.0.
3.2 Installation
Install the app from Google Play shop on Android device (search for the app name:
OMEGA_smartLEDs_EN or use the QR code from the last page of this manual) or download the app from
magicstairlighting.com (tab DOWNLOADS) and install.
3.3 Using the app for the first time
The app should be run only after the Bluetooth function on your Android device is activated and the
OMEGA controller has been switched on.

OMEGA User manual v0.0.2
smartLEDs
page 6/20 © APACHETA Smart Systems
WARNING! Do not try to pair your device with the controller; this will not work and may lead to
unpredictable state of Bluetooth connection.
After starting, the app connects with the controller: first, it scans the available Bluetooth devices and
connects with the smartLEDs controller automatically if only one is available; if there are more
smartLEDs controllers available, it asks the user to choose which one to connect to. Once connected, the
app loads the controller’s current settings and automatically moves to the CONTROL PANEL screen.
NOTE: When connected to the controller, do not keep the app in any screen other than the CONTROL
PANEL. This is the only screen which enables normal operation of the controller. Other screens put
the controller in special modes which block some of its functions. Whenever you use any of the
other screens, make sure to either return to the CONTROL PANEL, or terminate the connection with
the controller or close the app by pressing Back button (IMPORTANT: pressing Home button
doesn’t close the app; it only hides the app behind the Home screen of the device).
3.4 App screens
In the app there are five screens:
1. CONTROL PANEL - shows the current mode and state of the controller, and allows full control over
the controller (switching the lamps on, also permanently, switching them off, enforcing operating
modes, etc.)
2. PREFERENCES - adjusts the preferred settings of the controller.
3. GENERAL CONFIGURATION (installer level screen) - sets the controller’s basic parameters. Access to
this screen is secured by a password.
4. SERVICE AND COMMISSINING (installer level screen) - displays the current state of the controller and
the installation and helps diagnose potential problems quickly. Access to this screen is secured by a
password.
5. BLUETOOTH - displays the state of the connection between the app and the controller (CONNECTED,
SCANNING, CONTROLLERS FOUND, CONNECTION LOST, NO CONNECTION) and allows to disconnect
or reconnect.
3.5 CONTROL PANEL screen
At the top of the screen the operating mode and state of the controller are displayed. Next to it may
appear a ‘SHORTEN’ button which terminates the current lights-on or warning phase. Below there are:
 SWITCH PERMANENT ON button which switches on lights permanently;
 three ‘TURN ON’ buttons which start off the lighting sequence in the direction indicated by the
arrows;
 MAX, NIGHT and DAY MODE buttons which override the normal mode resulting from the DIS input
or the clock state.
NOTE: These buttons override the controller’s standard operation (the controller will not change its
operating mode as long as any of the MAX, NIGHT and DAY MODE buttons are selected).

smartLEDs OMEGA User manual v0.0.2
© APACHETA Smart Systems page 7/20
At the bottom of the screen there are navigation buttons which allow moving to other app’s screens.
3.6 PREFERENCES screen
The PREFERENCES screen is used to adjust the controller operation to the user's preferences.
NOTE: depending on the current driver configuration, not all options may be available.
The following settings can be changed:
 settings of operating modes (MAX, NIGHT and DAY)
 clock settings
 light wave settings (common for MAX and NIGHT modes)
 smoothness setting for switching lights on/off (common for MAX and NIGHT modes)
 lights-on time setting (common for MAX and NIGHT modes)
 setting the brightness threshold of the dusk switch

Here's how to change a specific setting. For example, to change the warning time in MAX mode:
 expand the MAX mode (by pressing the + button)
 expand the Warning function (by pressing the + button)
 press CHANGE button next to the appropriate parameter (a slider, input field or set of selection
buttons will open)
 (i) move the slider with your finger or (ii) fine-tune the slider by entering the required value in the
input field and accepting by pressing OK or (iii) press the correct selection button (the last option in
this example does not appear); the proposed value will appear in white in the field under the
parameter name
 accept the selection by pressing the SET button (only then the value will be sent to the controller,
which will be confirmed by the color changing to yellow)
 you can check the function by pressing the DEMO button (if available for the function)

© APACHETA Smart Systems page 9/20
 finish the operation by pressing the SAVE CHANGES button (permanent changes will be saved in the
non-volatile memory of the controller) or ABANDON CHANGES (the values previously saved
permanently will be restored)
WARNING! Until you press the SAVE CHANGES button, the changes made with the SET button are
temporary (termination of the application, as well as switching off the power supply or RESET
of the controller will restore the previously saved values).
3.7 GENERAL CONFIGURATION screen (installer level)
The GENERAL CONFIGURATION screen allows you to set the main installation parameters. Parameters
are set by checking the appropriate checkboxes or providing the correct values as described in the

OMEGA User manual v0.0.2
smartLEDs
page 10/20 © APACHETA Smart Systems
previous point. Remember to save permanently your changes by pressing SAVE CHANGES (it is also
possible to withdraw from all unsaved changes by pressing the ABANDON CHANGES button).
This screen also allows you to change the password which provides access to the installer level screens.
3.8 SERVICE AND COMMISSIONING screen (installer level)
The SERVICE AND COMMISSIONING screen allows for fast commissioning of a new installation (see
chapter 8. FIRST START-UP) as well as for easy diagnostics when the functioning of the installation is
incorrect. The screen provides 3 diagnostic functions:
 checking the lamps connected to the controller
 checking the operation of the controller (regardless of the state of the control inputs)
 checking the status and settings of controller inputs

smartLEDs OMEGA User manual v0.0.2
© APACHETA Smart Systems page 11/20
In addition, it is possible to perform a RESET and to restore the factory default settings of the controller.
WARNING! The controller RESET can be used instead switching off and on the controller’s power supply
and does not restore the factory settings.
3.8.1 Checking the lamps
Use the NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons to select the lamp to check. Then hold the 2% button briefly to
light the lamp at 2% or the 100% button to light the lamp at 100%.
WARNING! Special care should be taken if lamp circuits have not been tested before or if there is a
suspicion that there is a short circuit in a lamp connection. A short circuit (or excessive load)
on any output may cause the controller to burn. In this case, it is recommended that you first
press the 2% button briefly; the 100% button can only be pressed after making sure that the
lamp circuit works properly.
NOTE: While checking the lamps, the current controller’s mode is ignored.
3.8.2 Checking the controller
This diagnostic function allows checking the correct operation of the controller in the active state, by
performing a full lighting sequence (switching on, lights on, warning, switching off), for any mode (MAX,

OMEGA User manual v0.0.2
smartLEDs
page 12/20 © APACHETA Smart Systems
NIGHT or DAY) and for all three ways of switching on: up, down and from the half-floor (if configured).
During these tests the controller ignores the actual state of the controller inputs. Thanks to this
function, one can quickly check if the incorrect operation of the controller results from its damage or
from the incorrect state of devices connected to the controller inputs.
3.8.3 Checking the inputs
This diagnostic function allows to display the status of control inputs (ACTIVE, OFF) and the DIS input
(NO BLOCKING, BLOCKING). For the DIS input, the current function of this input is also displayed (BLOCK,
UNBLOCK, TOGGLE, IDS). For the IDS function the current brightness measured by the light probe as well
as the brightness threshold set (it can be changed on the PREFERENCES screen) are also displayed.
The illustration below shows individual diagnostic functions expanded.

smartLEDs OMEGA User manual v0.0.2
© APACHETA Smart Systems page 13/20
3.9 BLUETOOTH screen
The BLUETOOTH screen displays the status of communication between the controller and the
application, as well as messages related to this communication. It is also possible to disconnect and
reconnect the controller to the application.
3.10 ENTER PASSWORD screen
The ENTER PASSWORD screen appears when the user wants to move from the user level (screens:
CONTROL PANEL and PREFERENCES) to the installer level (screens: GENERAL CONFIGURATION and
SERVICE AND COMMISSIONING), as well as when changing the access password. Moving to the installer
level requires entering access password (any 4 characters) to prevent unwanted changing of the
installation parameters. The factory default password is "0000". This password can be changed at any
time (function activated by the CHANGE PASSWORD button on the GENERAL CONFIGURATION screen).
If the password has been changed and the user has forgotten the password, after entering the wrong
password it is possible to restore the default password "0000" by entering the predefined rescue
password "* _____ *" (information available only to buyers of OMEGA controllers).

therefore please make sure you set them thoughtfully.
NOTE: Brackets indicate default factory settings.
4.1.1 Number of standard lamps [23]
Enter the number of standard LED lamps (excluding Master lamps).
4.1.2 Staircase mid-floor [] [11]
Indicate if there is a staircase mid-floor; if yes, enter the number of lamps below the mid-floor.
4.1.3 Dimmable lamps []
Select if the standard lamps are dimmable.
4.1.4 Master [] (Dimmable [] Simultaneously with lamp no. 1 [])
Select if there are Master lamps (lamp L23 and possibly L22). If yes, indicate if the Master lamps are
dimmable and if they should be switched on before or together with the first standard lamp.
4.1.5 Warning []
Select if the controller should give a warning signal before it switches off the lamps.
4.1.6 NIGHT mode []
Check if NIGHT mode should be enabled. The NIGHT mode is activated by the clock; it comes after the
MAX mode and is followed by the DAY mode (or MAX, if DAY is disabled).
4.1.7 DAY mode [] (DIS input [] Clock [])
Check if DAY mode should be enabled. The DAY mode comes after the NIGHT mode (or MAX, if NIGHT is
disabled) and before the MAX mode. If selected, specify if it should be controlled by the DIS input or the
clock.
4.1.8 DIS input [Block]
Select the role of the DIS input. There are four options:
 BLOCK (active state at DIS input activates the DAY mode)
 UNBLOCK (active state at DIS input activates the MAX mode)
 TOGGLE (subsequent active states at DIS input switch between the DAY and MAX modes)
 INTEGRATED DUSK SENSOR (IDS) (DAY mode is selected if detected light intensity goes above the
threshold, MAX mode is selected if light intensity goes below the threshold)
NOTE: For the IDS to work properly, the enclosed light sensor must be connected to the DIS input.
NOTE: The TOGGLE setting allows to switch modes with a pushbutton. The controller starts from the
inactive state of the DIS input.
4.1.9 Active signal level [ZERO, advanced]
Specifies what signal level (ZERO or ONE) at controller’s inputs is defined as active.
NOTE: The factory settings of ‘Active signal level’ and ‘DIS input’ ensure proper operation of the controller
with DIS input left floating (disconnected).
NOTE: A disconnected (floating) input corresponds to a ONE signal level. Therefore, if ‘DIS input’ is set
BLOCK and the ‘Active signal level’ is set to ONE (or, conversely, UNBLOCK and ZERO, respectively)

smartLEDs OMEGA User manual v0.0.2
© APACHETA Smart Systems page 15/20
while the DIS input is disconnected will result in active blocking signal at DIS input, and thus will
block the controller.
4.2 User level parameters (PREFERENCES screen)
NOTE: Not all options are available for all controller modes.
NOTE: Brackets indicate default factory settings.
WARNING! In case of non-dimmable lamps, the BACKLIGHT LEVEL, BRIGHTNESS and SMOOTHNESS
parameters do not matter, lamps are switched on and off in full, there is no backlight and the
brightness is 100%.
4.2.1 Backlight (modes: MAX [ALL, 0%, 0%], NIGHT [EDGES, 0%, 0%], DAY [-, 0%, 0%])
Style and brightness of the LED backlight in standby and blocking states. 3 values can be specified:
 STYLE (to choose: ALL (all lamps illuminated equally), EDGES (only edge lamps are illuminated, other
lamps switched off), SKY (lamps randomly change the brightness from the backlight level to 2%))
 LEVEL (brightness level of ordinary lamps backlight)
 MASTER LEVEL (brightness level of Master lamps backlight)
LEVEL is defined as the percentage of brightness set with the appropriate BRIGHTNESS value.
4.2.2 Switching / Brightness (modes: MAX [WAVE, 100%, 100%], NIGHT [SIMULT, 50%, 50%])
Switching on/off style and brightness of switched on lamps. 3 values can be specified:
 STYLE (to choose: NO ON, SIMULT (all lamps switched on/off simultaneously), WAVE (switching
on/off with a light wave))
 BRIGHTNESS (brightness level of switched on ordinary lamps)
 MASTER BRIGHTNESS (brightness level of switched on Master lamps)
4.2.3 Warning (mode: MAX [NANO, 1.0s, 4.0s, 1])
Options for warning function for signalling that the controller is about to begin switching off the lamps.
4 values can be specified:
 TYPE - the way to signal warning (to choose: PIKO (very fast flickering), NANO (fast flickering), MICRO
(medium fast flickering), MILI (slow flickering), BLINK (short dimming), SWING (pendulum wandering
dimming of one lamp), ROCK (pendulum wandering dimming of two adjacent lamps))
 ACTION - the duration of a single warning
 BREAK - the duration of the pause after each warning
 REPEAT - the number of times the warning will be repeated
4.2.4 Clock settings - starting the mode (modes: DAY [5:00], MAX [17:00], NIGHT [23:00])
The starting hour and minute of the respective mode (if the mode is started by the clock).
4.2.5 Light wave (MAX, NIGHT modes [STEADY, 6.0s, FORWARD, 9.0s])
The characteristics of the light wave. 4 values can be specified (common for MAX and NIGHT modes):
 STEP - determining whether the speed of switching on/off the subsequent LED lamps should be
steady, accelerate or decelerate
 SWITCHING ON TIME - determining how long switching on of the entire staircase should last
 SWITCHING OFF DIRECTION - determining whether the lighting is to be switched off in the same
direction in which it was switched on or in the opposite direction

OMEGA User manual v0.0.2

 SWITCHING OFF TIME - determining how long switching off of the entire stairs should last
4.2.6 Smoothness (modes: MAX, NIGHT [5])
Smoothness of brightening / dimming of dimmable lamps. The Smoothness parameter determines the
visual effect of switching on / switching off: low levels of smoothness give the effect of vigorous
brightening / dimming, while high levels of smoothness give the effect of gentle brightening / dimming.
There are 7 levels of smoothness to choose from.
4.2.7 On time (modes: MAX, NIGHT [30s])
Duration of the lights-on phase in a non-extended sequence (warning time excluded).
4.2.8 Brightness threshold of dusk switch [60Lx]

5 REPLACING THE REAL TIME CLOCK BATTERY
The real time clock of the OMEGA controller, during periods when the controller is disconnected from
the power supply, is supported by a lithium battery type CR2035 (button cell battery). If you find the
clock switching modes at the wrong time or, after starting the application, the message "Check the clock
battery" appears, replace the battery with a new one of the same type. To do this, remove the front
cover of the controller housing (by pushing it with a screwdriver in the places indicated by the arrows),
remove the used battery from the socket and replace it with a new one, paying special attention not to
mistake the battery polarity.
WARNING! Batteries must not be disposed of. After use, take the batteries to a used batteries collection
point.

6 CONTROLLER INSTALLATION
The OMEGA controller is a universal device with many applications. An example of the most commonly
used installation is shown below. Instead of the ALFA / DELTA smartLEDs sensors shown in the diagram,
you can use any other sensors with a potential-free or npn-type OC output. In case of DIS input, instead
of the light probe that is provided with the controller, you can connect any pushbutton, switch, twilight
sensor or timer with a potential-free or npn-type OC output.
It is recommended to install the controller in a separate electrical box with a DIN mounting rail. The box
should be made of plastic.
WARNING! Placing the controller in a metal electrical box can significantly reduce the communication
range and even preclude communication with the application.
Before connecting lamps to the controller, check, e.g. with a power supply equipped with short-circuit
protection, that there are no short circuits in the circuits of the connected lamps. Proper connection of
lamps to the controller can be checked using the application (diagnostic function "CHECK LAMPS" on the
SERVICE AND COMMISSIONING screen (see section 3.8.1).
WARNING! Particular care should be taken when connecting the controller outputs. The controller
outputs do not have short-circuit protection. Before connecting the output circuits (lamps or
LED strips), make sure that there is no short circuit in these circuits. A short circuit (or
excessive load) on any output may cause the controller to burn.
WARNING! Installation of the controller requires technical knowledge and experience and should be
performed by a qualified installer. Connection of the power supplies to the mains can only be
made by a qualified electrician with appropriate qualifications.
WARNING! All installation activities must be carried out with the power supply disconnected. Supply
voltages can be switched on only after thorough checking of all connections.
WARNING! Particular care should be taken when connecting control inputs (UP, DOWN, MID, DIS). These
are potential-free inputs to which no voltages can be applied, as this may cause the
controller to burn. Make sure that the connected control devices (e.g. motion detectors,
including those supplied with 12V) do not supply any voltage to the output.
Remember to make any manipulations and changes in the installation with the power switched off. Even
short-term occurrence of voltage on improper terminal of the controller can permanently damage the
controller, and such damage is not covered by the warranty. Turn on the power only when you are sure
that everything is correctly connected.

8 FIRST START-UP
After completing and checking the installation, switch on the controller’s power supply, start the
application (see chapter 3.2 Installation of the application and 3.3 Starting work with the application)
and wait for the application to connect with the controller and to load the current settings. Then you
should:
1. Go to the GENERAL CONFIGURATION screen.
2. Set all basic controller parameters.
3. Confirm the configuration changes with the SAVE CHANGES button.
4. Go to the SERVICE AND COMMISSIONING screen.
5. Perform the lamp check (see chapter 3.8.1). Check one by one the connection of all lamps by setting
the number of the lamp being tested and pressing the 2% button for a short while (while the button
is held the lamp will light up to 2%); if the lamp lights up correctly, you can press the 100% button
(the lamp will light up to 100%).
WARNING! A short circuit in the lamp being tested can damage the output or cause the controller to
burn.
6. Check the functioning of the controller itself (see chapter 3.8.2). During these tests, the state of
physical inputs is ignored.
7. Check the status of controller inputs and the correct operation of devices connected to these inputs
(see chapter 3.8.3).
If the controller and the whole installation are working properly, you can terminate the app, go to the
CONTROL PANEL screen or go to the PREFERENCES screen to adjust the controller settings as you like.
