General device description
2 General device description
e:cue SYMPL Nodes are a system of interfaces for e:cue SYMPHOLIGHT
only. They provide various connection types like DMX512, DALI, digital
inputs and outputs etc. SYMPL Nodes always operate in online mode, as a
device interface for SYMPHOLIGHT. All interactions are initiated and
controlled by SYMPHOLIGHT. Connections between servers, Cores and
Nodes are always made with e:net via Ethernet.
The e:cue SYMPL relay Node is a switching interface for use with e:cue’s
lighting control solution SYMPHOLIGHT. It provides three relay interfaces in
single-pole double-throw conguration. The e:cue SYMPL relay Node can
be powered by an external power supply or via Power-over-Ethernet. It is
easily mounted on standard 35 mm DIN rails, or with a key hole in the
housing base on walls or on any stable vertical surface. The e:cue

2.4 Identify button: Identification & Reset & Testing
The Identify button has four functions: to send an Identify message (A), to
reset the Node (B), to test the installation (C), and to exit the error state (D).

11
General device description
(A) A short press during operation in online mode sends an Identify
message to the server. This helps to assign the Node in the Layout in
SYMPHOLIGHT.
(B) The Identify button can also be used to reset the device to factory state
or to stay in bootloader mode:
• Keep the Identify button pressed while powering up, Status and
Test / Error light up at rst. Bootloader mode is signaled by a fast
blinking Status LED. Release the button now. The device stays in
bootloader mode to download a new rmware.
To exit the bootloader mode, short press the Identify button again.
• Press the Identify button until Status and Test / Error LEDs blink
alternating, then blink together. Releasing the button now resets the
device to its factory settings. The password and other settings are reset
to their default values.
• Keeping the button pressed further on, the device proceeds to
normal operation. No changes apply.
(C) Use the Identify button also to test the connected xtures to ensure
their correct installation.
• Access the Test mode of the SYMPL Node by double-pressing the
Identify button during operation. The Test / Error LED signals the Test
mode by blinking short-short-long repeatedly.
• Single-press the Identify button to switch between the following
Test patterns:
- Each relay closed (=active) consecutively.
- All relays closed (=active).
- All relays open.
• Exit the Test mode any time by double-pressing the Identify button
again. The device proceeds to normal operation. The Test / Error LED is
off.
