Wireless TimeClock Configuration Guide
10
Consider creating a plan to manage the lighting effects you want to control.
You may need different plans for different building types, like a lecture hall,
office, or school. The settings are organized with simple numbering systems
that can be customized for every installation.
Link and Configure
The WTC must be linked to the target lighting controllers to create lighting
effects using scheduled Events and Scenes. Recommended steps:
• Configure TimeClock defaults, see
.
• Identify and Link the target controllers, see
• Determine the Groups required for the space you want to control.
• Determine each controller’s preset lighting levels for the Scene.
• Define and schedule Events, see
The WTC can be Linked to a project’s lighting controllers using Echoflex
pre-commissioning services. Contact customer service for information about
pre-commissioning services.
Element
Description
Example Usage
Events
1–50
A defined lighting
Event for a specified
Group that runs on a
configured schedule.
Consider creating a pattern, such as:
Scheduling ON/OFF Events: 1–10
Scheduling Scenes: 11–26
Device Masking: 27–40
Special: 41–50.
Groups
1–24
A defined area or role
to coordinate selected
controllers. Each
controller is associated
with Group 1 by
default.
Controllers can be associated with one or
more Groups. Groups should be
associated with common areas in a facility
that include several controllers. Create a
name to identify each Group, for
example:
Group 1 = Reception
Group 2 = Open Office Area
Group 3 = Corridors
Group 4 = Exterior Lights
Scenes
1–15
A defined lighting level
that can be used in a
scheduled Event or
manually activated.
An Event can use a
Scene number
to set
the lighting level on a schedule. Buttons
on a Scene Station can be used to
manually activate a Scene. A recalled
preset combines a
Group number
(target
controllers) and a
Scene number
to create
the lighting effect.
Note:
Consider recording the assignments that you create for
each numbered element. See
