Lytemode System Overview
The Lytemode System is designed to control architectural
lighting by distributing both power and intelligence. The system
provides processing power and control at each respective Master or
Remote Station, eliminating the need for a central processor.
Lytemode Master Stations provide individual control for up to 16
channels, 13 scenes plus “Off”, and adjustable fade times. Multiple
Master Stations may be linked together for control of up to 128
Channels and 13 preset scenes. By combining Lytemode Master
Stations with Lytemode Remote Stations, the system provides
remote access to scenes, Master Raise/Lower control, Multi-room
partition control, or Master Station Lockout. Lytemode Master
Stations are easily programmed using the front panel buttons,
without removing the Master Station from the wall, and without the
need for a computer. Lytemode Master Stations are compatible with
both Lightolier Controls Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor
(IGBT) Dimming Cabinets as well as Silicon Controlled Rectifier
(SCR) Dimming Panels.
Lytemode products are controlled by the Intelligent Lytemode
System (ILS) protocol. All Lytemode control devices must be
connected to the ILS system and given a unique ID (or address) in
order to interact properly. The ID identifies the device on the
network and allows the device to avoid network collisions when
transmitting data.

4Room Combine Switch Overview
Room Combine Switch Overview
The Lytemode Room Combine Switch provides easy partition
control of meeting rooms, banquet halls, and other large partitioned
spaces. When partitions are open, the Room Combine Switch links
the Master Stations in each room so that adjustments to one Master
Station are duplicated on all linked Master Stations, maintaining a
uniform look throughout the expanded space. When partitions are
closed, the Room Combine Switch isolates the Master Stations in
each room for individual room control.
The Room Combine Switch is capable of controlling up to eight
partitions. Three Room Combine Switches may be linked together
for control of up to 24 partitions.

Installation
The Lytemode ILS Network consists of a single CAT5e cable
connecting all ILS modules in a daisy chain manner. All units
connect to the network using a 9-pin connector (included).
To install:
Step 1. Unpack unit and inspect for any signs of shipping damage.
Ensure that two mounting screws are included.
Step 2. Connect ILS Network Cable to 9-pin connector at back of
Room Combine Switch.
Step 3. Insert Combine Switch into standard deep rough-in box
(not included). Secure with two supplied mounting screws.
Step 4. Snap faceplate into place.

6Setting ILS Network ID
Setting ILS Network ID
Lytemode products are controlled by the Intelligent Lytemode
System (ILS) protocol. All Lytemode ILS devices must be given an
ID (or address), which identifies the device on the network and
allows it to avoid network collisions when transmitting data.
Standard IDs are in the range of 1 to 255. An ID of 0 will disable
the unit and prevent it from transmitting on the network.
IDs are typically unique. For example, an ILS Master will require a
unique ID to allow dimmers to track its channel levels. However,
ILS Remotes should be given the same ID as the ILS Master it
controls. ILS Remotes rely on the fact that they are manually
triggered to avoid network collisions with other ILS Remotes
having the same ID.
The table on the following page provides guidelines for addressing.

Room Combine Switch User’s Guide 7
ILS Network Addressing:
* Notes:
1 – Matches ILS Master ID.
2 – ILS Masters must be programmed to accept.
3 – Will respond to Remote Polls, Status Requests and Commands.
4 – Unit uses a self generated ID.
Note: Refer to the instructions included with your particular
device(s) in order to set corresponding control IDs.

ID Address
Because there are not enough buttons/LEDs to address the full
0-255 ID range, the ID must be entered in two stages. The three
most significant ID bits are entered first, followed by the five least
significant ID bits.
Step 1. Press and hold Cand Ffor 3 or more
seconds. A LED will blink On 75% and
Off 25%.
Step 2. Enter three most significant ID bits in F-
G-H. Use B/C to increment/decrement
value.
Step 3. Tap A.A LED will blink On 25% and Off
75%.
Step 4. Enter five least significant ID bits in D-E-
F-G-H. Use B/C to increment/decrement
value.
Step 5. Press Ato save and exit.
ID Values:
F = 128 (most significant ID)
G = 64 (most significant ID)
H = 32 (most significant ID)
D = 16 (least significant ID)
E = 8 (least significant ID)
F = 4 (least significant ID)
G = 2 (least significant ID)
H = 1 (least significant ID)

While in the Addressing Mode, the device will transmit a Network
Test Command every 2 seconds (ON/A LED will blink). All
devices on the network will blink an LED to indicate their reception
of this command. If a receiving device matches the transmitted ID,
it will blink all of its LEDs. Those devices that are capable of being
polled will return a Network Test Response if the transmitted ID
matches their own ID. If the transmitting device sees a Network
Test Response, it will double blink its ON/A LED. This is useful
for network testing and to determine if the ID is unique.
LED Intensity
The intensity (brightness) of the LEDs can be set as follows:
Step 1. Press and hold Dand Ffor 3 or more
seconds. C-D-E-F LEDs will display four
intensity choices. (Current intensity setting
button will blink.)
Step 2. Press desired intensity button.
Step 3. Press Ato save and exit.

Troubleshooting
In order to determine if all Lytemode ILS Network devices are
communicating, a network test signal can be sent by placing the
device in the Addressing Mode. While in this mode, the device will
transmit a Network Test Command every 2 seconds (ON/A LED
will blink). All devices on the network will blink an LED to
indicate their reception of this command. If a receiving device
matches the transmitted ID , it will blink all of its LEDs. Those
devices that are capable of being polled will return a Network Test
Response if the transmitted ID matches their own ID. If the
transmitting device sees a Network Test Response, it will double
blink its ON/A LED.
To send Network Test Command:
Step 1. Press and hold Cand Ffor 3 or more
seconds. Network will send out test signal.
Step 2. Press Ato return to normal operation.
