INTRODUCTION
This manual contains instructions needed to
configure your remote, wall-mounted Synergy
Graphical Control Station, or SYGS, and to modify
initial factory settings.
The SYGS is an architectural lighting-control station
that allows you to program and recall various light
levels. The available settings will allow your system to
meet a wide variety of applications.
The SYGS is operated by menus and buttons
displayed on an easy-to-use, touchscreen graphic
keypad. Using this keypad, you can control lighting
attributes (fade times, levels) of multiple targeted
lighting groups (called Presets or Scenes), by
adjusting multiple lighting circuits (called Channels
or Zones) within each targeted group.
The SYGS Graphical Control Station you have
purchased was engineered to provide years of
reliable operation for commercial applications.
If assistance beyond the scope of this manual is
required, contact Synergy Lighting Controls.
NOTE: Operational Requirement
The SYGS is dependent on the Synergy controller
to provide preset and channel functions. The SYGS
must be programmed through the Synergy controller
before it will provide any functionality. Please refer
to Synergy Config instructions for station setup
instructions.

Understanding Presets/Scenes and
Channels/Zones
Presets: Also identified as Scenes, Presets consist
of a set of lighting levels with an associated fade
time. PRESET buttons save and activate Preset
lighting scenes. To create a Preset (up to 16), set
the appropriate intensity for each of its selected
Channels (definition follows).
Channels: Also identified as Zones, Channels are
groups of specific circuits of lights prescribed to
each Preset according to common characteristics,
such as location or function. Arrow buttons on the
Channel screens raise or lower the intensity of the
associated lights.
Fade Time: Fade Time indicates how long it takes
the lights to adjust to the new intensity levels when
each Preset is selected.

typically used as entry lighting.
Bottom Button. This master-control button turns
off all lights in all Channels. Note that on a station
configured with 0 channels, this button is Preset
button 2. If you wish to have it turn off the lights,
Preset 2 will need to be set as an off Preset.
Presets. Presets are the preset light levels and fade
times stored in the SYGS. The PRESETS button on

view to the initial Presets control screen (Fig. 5).
Each Presets screen provides four Presets at a time,
up to 16. Toggle through each set of four by using
the NEXT or PREV buttons, or by using the PAGE
1 button to return to the first set of Presets. From
