System Set-up
Before starting the set up process
remove the battery shipping tabs from
the Controllers. These are located in
the battery holders (see page 36) of
both types of Controllers. Should the
tabs be missing test the Controller as
described on page 36.
Install the Receivers in line with
the relevant installation instructions
supplied with the Receivers.
Once installed all the Receivers
must be assigned to a channel on a
Controller, by ‘Setting the Channels’,
whether it is intended to use the
Controller in Dimming mode or Scene
mode. A channel functions like a
traditional rotary dimmer, allowing
alteration of the brightness of any
lights attached to it.
Controller and Receiver Function
Summary:
• A Receiver can be assigned to any
one of 8 channels.
• All lights assigned to one channel
will operate together.
• Multiple lights can be attached
to each Dimming Receiver, up to
the load limit of the Receiver, see
pages 34–35.
• There is no limit to the number of
Receivers that can be assigned to
a single channel.
• More than one Controller can be used
in each room / area (see page 38).
• Not all the channels have to
be used.
• Relay Receivers and the Fluorescent
Dimmer Receiver switch the load on
at any setting above minimum by
using the ‘up’ button. Pressing and
holding the ‘down’ button will switch
the load off.
Dimming Mode
Once the channels have been set they
can be dimmed up and down in much
the same way as a traditional multi-
way wall dimmer, but wirelessly.
Scene Mode
Scene Mode is the preferred way to use
the Sphere system and enables up to
8 different lighting scenes to be created.
A scene is created by adjusting the channels
in a ‘lighting pattern’ or scene and then
setting this scene into the memory of the
receivers. Each scene is assigned to an
individual button on the Controller. Once
set any scene can be recalled at the touch
of its assigned button.
Set Up
The following instructions explain how to
set the channels and then dim them in one
room. Scenes can only be set and operated
once the channels have been set. Dimming
mode can be reverted to at any time.
Multiple Room Set Up
Once the first room is working correctly
read the section of the instructions called
‘Setting Function Switches for Different
Rooms’ (page 30) that explains the
process of setting additional rooms. At
least one Controller is required for each
additional room. Setting and using a
Master Controller for use with multiple
rooms follows. The function switches can
be found on the back of the Wall and
Handheld Controllers (see page 30).
