Digi-Touch™ Install Guide
The Digi-Touch Network consists of three parts:
1. Digi-Touch Device Network Link. (DDN-Link). The first module
is a communication interface board, the DDN-Link. The Link
provides communication between a TRIATEK Lighting Panel
Controller and the Digital Switch devices on a twisted pair
network.
2. Digi-Touch Device Network Switch (DDN-SW). The second
module is a Digital Switch, DDN-SW1 (single button) or
DDN-SW (two button). Each button provides users on/off
control of a lighting group. Each contains an integral bi-color
LED that illuminates red when the associated lighting group is
turned on and green when turned off.
3. Network wire and optional exansion power supply.
Quick Install Summary
The summary below is followed by 3 sections containing details
for each step.
Step1. Physical Mounting and Setting Dip Switches on the
Switch Modules (DDN-SW and DDN-SW1). Switches are physically
mounted and addressed by dip switches. A look-up table is provided
for binary dip switch settings equivalent to lighting Group decimal
numbers. See section entitled, “Physical Dimensions and Dip Switch
Settings” for details.
Step2. Network the switches for communications and power.
Make all connections before applying power. Daisy chain the switch-
es and power supplies with a 2-pair, twisted wire daisy chain. Use 18
AWG (for power) and twisted pair 22 AWG (for signal) or better. Use
Belden 1502P or equivalent. See section, “Network the Switches for
Communications and power” for details.
Step3. Connect the network of switches to the DDN-Link mod-
ule. Make all connections before applying power. The DDN-Link
can be used to loop power up to 8 DDN-SW switches. Two-button
switches or 16 DDN-SW1 one-button switches. Make sure the Link
module is wired to the panel for power and power up all auxillary
power supplies. See page 7 for details.

Physical Dimensions
Step 1. Physical Dimensions & Dip Switch Settings
a. Ensure proper size gang box and Decora plate for DDN-SW1 or DDN-SW.
b. If exact settings per each location have not been pre-set, set the correct dip switch ad-
dress on each module (see look-up table, Appendix A). It is helpful to use a worksheet to
layout all the switch numbers for each panel before setting addresses on the switches.
c. For SW, when the dip switch is set for the upper button, the next lighting group is auto-
matically assigned to the lower button. Thus, the physical dip switch number for the next
module will typically “skip 1” as the modules are addressed along the network. Ie, 1,3,5....
or 2,4,6....

d. Set the address using the dip switches under the Decora style
plate. It is not necessary to remove the entire switch. Use the Ap-
pendix A table to get the binary dipswitch setting for the decimal
lighting group number
e. See example below for DDN-SW (2-button). Dip switch is “5” in
binary. Thus, upper (closest to dip switch) button controls panel
group 5 and lower button controls group 6. The “group” refers to
group assignments made in the Triatek Lighting panel via Lighting
Panel Programmer’s Kit (LPPK).
f. If you are also responsible for programming the lighting panels,
see section entitled “LPPK Setup for TRIATEK Lighting Digi-Touch
Switches”, Appendix B in this publication. For each SW2, both up-
per and lower button numbers must be entered in LPPK.

Step 2. Network the Digi-Touch Switches for
Communications and Power:
Daisy chain the Switches.
Connect Optional Relays.
Place Auxilary Power Supplies as Needed.
a. Use recommended Beldon 1502P paired cable or
equivalent. One pair (18AWG 2-conductor, unshielded) is for
power and one pair (22AWG twisted pair, shielded) is
for communication. Do not “star” or “T-tap” comm wire.
Daisy chain only.
b. Make all connections before applying power.
c. When the DDN-SW is at the end of the network, short the
module’s terminating resistor, J3.
(See Front View, previous page)
d. The DDN-Link may be used to Looppower
8 DDN-SW or 16 DDN-SW1 modules up to
runs of 1000 ft. See step 3.
e. Additional DC power supplies may be needed for longer
runs or larger numbers of switch modules. As a general rule,
the DDN-Link can Power 8 DDN-SWs or 16 DDN-SW1s that
are with in 500’ of the panel and are connected using 18
AWG cable.
If more switches are required, a 1.2A 24VDC Power Supply
(TLI part# DDN-P5 or greater) can be added to power up to
40 DDN-SWs or 80 DDN-SW1s using 18 AWG cable.
DDN-SW Digi-Touch Digital Switches
Continue to next DDN-SW
TRIATEK Lighting does not recomend powering
switches more than 500’ from a power supply.

Step 3. Connect the Digital Switch Network to the
DDN-Link and the Link to the Lighting panel CPU
a. If the Link occurs at the end of the network (it may be in the
middle), short jumper J-1 for termination resistor on Link.
b. Link may be used to loop-power 8 DDN-SW or 16 SW1 mod-
ules up to 500’ in each direction. Placement of auxiliary power
suplies will be needed for longer runs or more modules.
c. If upgrading an existing panel to Digi-Touch Network
1. Install the version 4.11 or higher Eprom into socket on
lighting panel main board.
2. Mount DDN-Link in the Lighting Panel. Link and aluminum
plate are positioned on existing stand-offs in the panel.
3. Connect DDN-Link via ribbon cable to lighting panel CPU.
d. Make all connections before applying power.

Purpose:
Assign DDN-SW1 or DDN-SW switches to LPPK Groups in order to control the correct lighting circuits and report the Group status
back to the correct DDN-SW1 or SW2 button LEDs.
Steps:
1) Start LPPK. Go to main page as shown below. In the section, “Input # - Name”, note the fixed input numbers along the left side fo
the page.
2) Go to the section “Assigned group”, and to the column, “0-60”. Assign a Group # to the input box. For each input, assign a Group
number. The Group number must equal the switch address. In other words, the Group # = the Input # = DDN dip switch # as
shown in the diagram. Note the fixed Input # on the left side of the page is in line with the Group # in the white input box on the
right side of the page.
3) Remember, the DDN dip switch # represents the upper button. Dip switch # + 1 represents the lower button. Include both numbers
in LPPK.
4) Set the Input Type to Momentary On/Off and Normally Open. Standard switches to the same panel are not required to follow this
“Input# = Group#” configuration.
Example:
DDN-S2 switches will command panel Groups 1-4. DDN-S2 switches will also have an optional 2-hour timer and flash enabled. The
status of the panel groups are reported back to the correct DDN-S2 LED. Standard switches control all other groups.

Note
Dip Switch Numbers
are entered into LPPK

Note
Dip Switch Setting (under cover plate) is
assigned to each DDN-S2 upper button.
Add 1 for the lower button.
Multiple DDN switches can have the same dip switch setting.
Switches with the same see will control the same groups.
Note

is the Group Number
that will be used for
the status LEDs.
