CONFIGURATION - Settings: Misc
The 18 Switch Group check box enables HOUSE/290 to hold up to 18 switches per group. After changing this setting, you must exit HOUSE/290 and then restart it. Only then will the changes take place.
The Base House Code allows to preset the base house code of the CP290. The base house code can be uploaded by selecting the TOOLS - Set Clock menu selection or by clicking on the clock button. Default setting is house code A.
Toggle Switch forces 100% is used to preserve any pre-dim settings for modules that support this feature. The Two-Way Lamp module LM14A does for example. If this check box is un-checked (default), then the ON command of a toggle switch will be ON, which will turn on a pre-dim capable module to the level it has been set the last time it was turned off. If this box is checked, then the ON command of a toggle switch will be DIM 100, thus forcing the dim module to 100%. For this to work, you must set the module type to Two-Way Lamp LM14A regardless of which module you actually attach and you must use a pre-dim capable module.
Dim Percent Offset sets the dim value when using keyboard up or down arrows to change the slider. An offset of 0 (default) will change dim value by 4% each time an arrow key is pressed. An offset of 4 would add double the slider change to a current dim value. Offsets of 0, 4, 8 and 12 are possible.
Enable Auto Upload makes it possible to automatically refresh the timers once a week. The CP290 can only be preprogrammed for a week ahead of time. If you want to have lights turn on/off at sunset and sunrise throughout the year, then enable this setting, leave HOUSE/290 and the Comm Engine running, and at 11:55pm of the selected weekday, the timers will automatically upload. As an alternative, you can also manually upload the timers once a week at your convenience. By default, the weekday is set to Sunday and auto upload is disabled.
The Default button resets all values on this page to their defaults.
To permanently change the miscellaneous settings, press the SAVE button. The CLOSE button and close window selection on the system menu will leave the settings for the duration of the current HOUSE/290 session only.
