Switch Inputs
When set to the default Normal Mode, the LMIN-104 defaults to an Input Type of "Switch", with the Switch Mode set to "Load Control".
When set this way, a non-DLM low voltage switch can turn any loads bound to that switch ON and OFF. However, there are several
other specialized commands that can be triggered from a switch input.
The commands sent out are basic ON/OFF commands with different priorities. The higher priority command overrides lower priority
commands given by the system. Below is the list of priorities for these commands. For example: a Force-On (highest priority) command
overrides any OFF command given by any device in the system making sure that the lights remain on. When the Force-ON command is
released, the next highest priority command is followed.
Switch Input Modes
Highest Priority
• Force-On – Turns all bound loads ON.
NOTE: Turning Off the Force On command is not that same as sending a Force Off command. Instead it relinquishes the Force
On command so that a lower priority command from a different device can turn a load off. If the device was off before the
Force On command was initiate, it will turn back Off unless another switch or an occupancy sensor has been used to turn
the load On.
• Force-Off – Turns all bound loads OFF. As with the Force On command, turning this command OFF relinquishes the command,
and whether it turns back on or not is determined by the previous state of that load along with commands from other devices.
• Shed – The Shed command is broadcast to all loads in a room, causing them to reduce their level to the value specified by each
load's "Shed Level" parameter. By default, the "Shed Level" is set to 65% because for most driver/ballast combinations this will
result in at least a 15% power reduction. However, you can set the amount of shed on a per load basis in LMCS.
• Load Control –Turns Loads On/Off.
• Clean – Load(s) ON. This is intended for use by cleaning crews. A switch assigned to cleaners can be used to turn all bound
loads ON regardless of occupancy, but since it has a low priority, an On or OFF command with a higher priority will override this
command.
Lowest Priority
The following two additional actions are used for functionality outside of the priority hierarchy.
• Normal/After Hours – Turning this function ON puts all bound loads into After Hours mode where individual load parameters switch
to the assigned After Hours parameters of that load. These parameters can be different than the normal hours mode parameters.
For example, Blink warning may be active in After Hours for the load but not active in normal hours. After Hours parameters are
programmed via the LMCS-100 application or through network systems where a Segment Manager or BACnet BAS is used to set
After Hours schedules for a load or device. When the function is turned OFF, the bound devices revert to Normal Hours.
• Key-Switch – The Key-switch command puts the entire local DLM network into Key-switch mode, where no DLM wall switches
can control any loads. When the command is released, the system returns to normal operation so that DLM switches again control
loads. Individual switch stations can be set to ignore this message using LMCS, enabling a subset of switches in a room to stay
active. A typical use for this is to keep switches in secure locations active while disabling other publicly accessible switches.
Sensor Inputs
If the Input Type in LMCS is set to Sensor, an analog occupancy sensor can be used to control all bound loads or a single selected
scene. Sensor sensitivity and detection modes are managed by sensor's DIP switches. Set the analog occupancy sensor to minimum
time delay. The time delay set in LMCS along with the minimum sensor time delay will be the total time delay for a particular zone of
occupancy. For example, the CB-100 minimum delay is 15 seconds. With LMIN-104 delay set at 20 minutes, vacancy will occur at 20
minutes + 15 seconds after no motion is detected.
Separate settings are available for both Normal and After Hours modes, and you can override the sensor input in either mode, so for
example, the sensor only controls the loads during after hours.
