Remote controlInstallation and operating guide

Each astral TM remote control can provide on/off control over switches and on/off and dimming control over dimmers.Up to 64 different switches and dimmers can be controlled by each remote control.

These can be split into up to 4 separate groups and 4 separate scenes – a scene is where preset lighting levels can be recalled and adjusted to set desired lighting moods.

The remote control also allows activation of the astral TM

system ALL-OFF function. The remote control also incorporates a command status indicator giving visual indication and confirmation that any commands to other switches and dimmers have been successfully received. The remote control is supplied with a wall mounting bracket and should be used in dry indoor locations only. The remote control can be used as the system’s primary controller.

Always follow the manufacturer’s advice when using power tools, steps, ladders etc. and wear appropriate protective equipment such as safety goggles when drilling holes. Before drilling holes in walls, check for hidden electricity cables and water pipes, and use a cable/pipe locater if in doubt.

Safety

gROup CONTROL ANd dIMMINg

When turning on a group, dimmers will turn on at the light level they were set to before they were turned off.

The light levels of all dimmers in a group will align to the same level after any dimming operation ends.

sCENE CONTROL ANd dIMMINg

When turning on dimmers in a scene they will always go to their programmed light level for the scene.

Dimming of all dimmers in a scene will maintain any difference in light level after dimming stops. The light levels will not align.

2 Remove the metal front plate.

3 Lever off and remove the group and scene buttons that you wish to be replaced.

4 Fit the new buttons in place over the rubber keypad, locating the side clip under the central moulding.

You can change the group and scene selection buttons on your remote control to customise it according to your own specific needs and setup using the spare buttons available separately.

1 Remove the batteries and remove the front plate retaining screws located under the battery cover.

Programming the remote control into a new system

1 Put your networks primary controller into replication transmit mode.

2 Hold down both the Inc and Asc buttons on the remote control for 2 seconds until the indicators illuminate yellow and then release.

This puts the remote control into replicate receive mode.

3 The Inc and Asc indicators will flash yellow while the routing table is copied and then turn green for 4 seconds when completed.

If the indicators turn red, replication has not succeeded and must be attempted again.

Step 3 Association

sTEp 1 INCLudE THE REMOTE CONTROL INTO THE sYsTEM

1 Refer to your system programming guide for inclusion.

2 When you need to select the remote control to include it into the system press any button on the front.

3 If the remote control is included successfully all group and scene buttons will flash blue 3 times.

sTEp 2 REpLICATE THE ROuTINg TABLE

NOTE You will only need to update the routing table in the remote control and other system controllers if any mains powered products have been added at this time.

To update the routing table in the remote control refer to your system programming guide for replication.
