HV8D: 8-Channel High Voltage Output Module
Description
Driven by the V32 main controller’s 4-wire communication
bus (Multibus), the HV8D has 8 outputs that can drive
incandescent lights of up to 10A per channel @ 110Vac/
230Vac (on/off operation), or 0.5hp shutter motors of up to
8A per channel @ 110Vac/230Vac (variable positions).
The HV8D was designed specifically to offer unique control
of shutters that can open/close shutters or blinds to multiple
positions and not only fully open or fully closed. When used
with the Imperial Dimmer Wall Switches, the system
provides up to 32 shutter positions. A short, one-time
calibration is required per shutter for efficient control.
The HV8D will also feature a Local Bus (coming soon) to
control shutters without the need of the Imperial system.
Imperial Dimmer Wall Switches that are connected to the
HV8D's local bus are independent from the rest of the
system and can control the local outputs.
Features
• 8 high-voltage relay outputs: incandescent lights (110/
230V, 10A) or 0.5hp motors (110/230V, 8A)
• 2 operating modes: relay mode and shutter mode (pair
two outputs for up/down control of a shutter)
• Built-in calibration mode for precise open/close timing
• 4 emergency stop inputs per shutter motor (e.g. IR
beam stops the motor when motion is detected).
• Global Up/Down input (e.g. 2-way momentary switch
controls all connected shutter motors simultaneously)
• Remote firmware upgradeability via bus
• DIN rail design with manual control for outputs, on-
board status display, and removable terminals
• Programming via BabyWare software
• 4 wire connection to the Imperial Multibus with up to
900m (3000ft) distance
• Bi-directional Locate feature from module to software
and vice versa

1Relay Mode
If, in BabyWare, the output is set to
Light, Sprinkler, or Custom, it will
function as a standard relay output.
See "Relay vs. Shutter Mode” on
page 3.
2Shutter Mode
If, in BabyWare, the output is set to
Shutter, the related outputs (Up/
Down) will be paired for shutter
operation. See "Relay vs. Shutter
Mode” on page 3.
3Local Bus (Future Use)
Imperial Dimmer Wall Switches that
are connected to the local bus are
independent from the rest of the
system and can control the shutter
outputs. This ensures continued
operation of the outputs should the
Multibus stop for any reason. This
feature also provides the option to add
shutter control without the need of the
Imperial system. If in relay mode, only
the odd numbered outputs can be
controlled (e.g. 1, 3, 5, 7).
4Global Up/Down
By connecting a 2-way momentary
switch, all connected shutter motors
can be activated together.
5Emergency Stop
It includes an emergency stop input
per shutter motor to connect a device,
such as an IR beam, to stop the motor
when motion is detected. The motor
will also stop when the dial on the
dimmer wall switch is pushed.

WARNING:
It is highly recommended to power the module using an
external source (e.g. PS100 or PS27D) and NOT from the
Multibus to avoid flickering of the output in case of a loss
of bus power. Flickering might cause damage to electrical
appliances connected to the outputs.

Relay vs. Shutter Mode
If, in BabyWare, the output is set to Light, Sprinkler, or Custom, it will function as a standard relay output. If, in BabyWare,
the output is set to Shutter, the related outputs (Up/Down) will be paired for shutter operation. For more information, refer to
"Programming an HV8D Module” on page 4. In the example below, outputs 1 and 2 are set to Relay Mode and outputs 3 to
8 are set to Shutter Mode.
Table 1: Example of Combining Modes
Shutter Calibration
If outputs are set to Shutter Mode (see "Relay vs. Shutter Mode” on page 3), the HV8D must be calibrated to match each
shutter’s open and closed states. This calibration can be performed locally at the HV8D, or using an Imperial Dimmer Wall
Switch (refer to the MCVA2 manual), or using BabyWare (Q2 2009). To calibrate the shutter outputs using the HV8D
module:
1. To enter shutter calibration mode, press and hold both of the output pair’s buttons for four seconds.
DThe first LED is off, the second LED is solid.
DThe shutter closes.
DThe button pair now function as an UP and DOWN button for calibration.
2. When the shutter reaches the bottom, press the UP button.
DThe shutter opens.
3. When the shutter reaches the top, press the DOWN button.
DThe shutter closes again.
4. When the shutter reaches the bottom, press the UP button.
DThe shutter opens to about 50%.
5. If the shutter is not at exactly 50%, adjust it manually using the UP and DOWN buttons.
6. To exit shutter calibration mode, press both buttons.

Bi-directional Locate Feature
Pressing and holding the LOC button for 3 seconds will initiate the Module Locate feature. When a Module Locate is
initiated, the module’s representation in the BabyWare software will flash and the module’s BUS, RX and TX LEDs will flash
at 1Hz to indicate that it is in locate mode. A module locate can also be initiated from the BabyWare software. From
BabyWare right-click the module’s representation and select Locate Physical. The module’s BUS, RX and TX LEDs will
flash. We highly recommend that after pressing locate and identifying the module, open the programming page and assign
the proper physical location label and the outputs’ labels and locations. After complete connection, use the space provided
on the module to indicate the outputs’ description.
Remote Firmware Upgrade
Work in progress...
The HV8D is firmware upgradeable remotely via the V32 controller’s Multibus at 57.6Kbps. Using BabyWare connect to the
V32 account using any of the connection methods (direct connect, IP static, or IP DNS). Right-click the desired module and
select Upgrade (???). A firmware upgrade for a single module or group of modules will take usually less than 10 minutes,
which keeps system downtime to a minimum.
Programming an HV8D Module
1) When BabyWare is communicating with the V32 controller and a HV8D module
is connected to the Multibus, it automatically appears in the Modules display
area. To view the Modules display area, click the Modules toggle button.
Alternatively, you may wish to add a module to BabyWare before the module is
physically connected to the system. Click the Add Item button.
2) To program a module that already appeared in the system, double-click the
module’s icon. The HV8D Programming window opens.
3) From the Type drop-down list, select Sprinkler, Light, or Customer for Relay
Mode, or select Shutter for Shutter Mode.
