Scene Mode
Scene Mode maximises the flexibility
and ease of use that Sphere provides.
‘Scenes’ are preset lighting schemes
and can include the operation of non-
dimmable lighting and other switched
loads (see Switching below). Scene
Mode allows recall of 5 or 8 scenes,
depending on the Controller. Changing
the whole room to match the activity
is easy - brighter lights for reading or
working, or lower lights for watching
a film or relaxing with friends.
Receivers must have been assigned
to channels (see ‘Setting Channels’) to
use Scene Mode.
For safety reasons we recommend
that Scene 1 is programmed so that all
lights are set to maximum brightness.
Setting and Adjusting Scenes
STEP 1
Setting the Mode Switches
All lights must be turned off before
altering the Mode switches. The
rightmost ‘Mode’ switch must be set to
the down position (towards ‘SC’).
If scene mode is to be the usual mode
this switch will not require any further
operation.
STEP 2
Choosing a Scene
to Programme
Ensure all lights are
turned off. Press
and keep holding
the desired scene
button (lamps will
raise). Whilst keeping
this depressed,
press and hold the
up and down arrow
buttons for at least
five seconds until the
Blue Controller and
Receiver LED’s pulse
– lamps will flash once
and stay on.
Notes:
i. Relay Receiver. LED shows as ‘Orange’.
ii. Wall Dimmer Receiver. The front button
surrounds flash Blue.
STEP 3
Selecting a
Channel
Choose button
1– 5 (or 1– 8)
to select the
channel to be
adjusted (these
are the channels
created during
‘Setting a
Channel’) –
all the lights on
that channel
will flash.
STEP 4
Changing
Channel
Brightness
Use the up
and down arrow
buttons to adjust
brightness of
the channel.
Repeat steps
3 and 4 until all
the channels
have been set
to the desired
light level for
this scene.
STEP 5
Saving and Exiting
Press the centre
button to save the
scene and exit.
The first scene has
now been set. See
‘Operating Scenes’,
page 28, to view
this scene. Repeat
steps 2– 5 until the
desired number of
scenes are set, up
to 5 or 8.
A scene can be
changed at any
time by repeating
steps 2– 5.
Notes:
Saved Scenes are stored even if the mains supply is removed from the Receivers.
Switching non-dimmable lighting and other loads within a scene - using relay receiver
- I. For switched loads, the channel with the Relay Receiver should be included when setting a scene.
II. To switch the load on or off when setting a scene, only use the up / down buttons, do not use the
centre button.
Important Safety Note for Relay Receivers
III. The Receiver LED is GREEN when the line output is not connected to the line input (the load is
not energised). The LED changes to RED when the output is connected to the line input (the load
is energised).
