5031NMML Key Input Unit

Applications

This section displays the lighting applications. Up to two lighting applications can be defined and then used throughout the configuration of the 5031NMML Key Input Unit.

By default, Lighting is selected in the Application 1 drop-down list and <unused> is selected in Application 2 drop-down list.

To add Application:

• You can enter the name in Application 1 field and press Enter in keyboard. The Application is created by taking the next available Application address.

  The created Application is saved in the network.

  or,

• Click . The Add Application pop-up appears.

  

  It supports application addresses from 48 to 127.

• Enter the required details and then click Create. The application is created and listed in the Application 1 drop-down list.

  NOTE:

  • Use a unique application name for each network.

  • Enter a maximum of 32 characters for the Application Name

  • You can use numbers, letters and special characters excluding /,” and #.

• Click Cancel to cancel the operation.

  To edit Application:

• Click to modify the application name.

  NOTE: Edit button is disabled if the Application is set to <Unused>.
  

• Make necessary changes and then click Save. You cannot edit the Application address after it has been created.

Repeat the same for Application 2.

Configuration

Click Edit Device. The Edit Device dialog box appears. For more information, refer Edit Device.

Global

Provides a set of functions for controlling the timing, learn mode, and infrared settings.

Timing Parameters

Provides the ability to control how key input will behave by human touch.

Debounce

By default, it is set to 48 ms. You can select a different debounce time from the Debounce drop-down list.

When you press an input key, the mechanical action may cause contact bounce, which can result in multiple rapid signals. To ensure reliable switching, the unit waits for a preset time period before responding to the key press. This delay is known as the debounce time.

Long Press

A key input unit senses whether you press a key briefly or hold it for a longer duration. The Long Press setting defines the minimum time the key must be held for the unit to interpret the action as a long press.

By default, the Long Press time is set to 400 ms minimum value of 96 ms. You can select the desired minimum duration (in milliseconds) from the Long Press drop-down list to define a long press event

Ramp 1

Ramp 1 rate can be set from instant to max 1020 seconds.

By default, it is set to 4 seconds.

It specifies the time taken to ramp a light from minimum to maximum brightness (or vice versa).

Ramp 2

Ramp 2 rate can be set from instant to max 1020 seconds.

By default, it is set to 12 seconds.

Status Report

Wired C-Bus uses a status reporting system (known as an message synchronisation or MMI), which provides automatic detection and correction of discrepancies between the states of grouped inputs and outputs. This status reporting occurs at periodic intervals. Increasing the frequency of status reporting decreases the response time in which errors are corrected. However, it increases the amount of network communication traffic. If different status report values exist in the same network, the smallest value is used. The Status Report drop down list allows the selection of the status report value.

Allows to set the duration in mm:ss.

Provides automatic detection and correction of discrepancies between the states of grouped inputs and outputs.

By default, it is set to 3 seconds.

Mouse over on the Status Report info icon to view the tooltip message.

Device Scenes

Click Scene Manager. For more information, refer Scene Manager.

Learn Mode

You can configure the unit for learn mode.

Allow Learn Mode

Only if you select the Allow Learn Mode check box, the Application Learn drop-down list will be enabled.

By default, the Allow Learn Mode check box is selected.

Application Learn

Select the required option from the Application Learn drop-down list. The options are Current and Any.

To determine whether learn mode can be used to group channels with other units of the same application address, select Current.

To determine whether learn mode can be used to group channels with other units of any application address, select Any.

Unit Has Learned

By default, it is set as No.

When the Unit Has Learned check box is enabled, it indicates that the unit has been involved in a learn mode operation.

Disable All Keys

Provides the ability to disable all keys remotely by defining an Enable Control group.

Group

The Enable Control group parameter is used to enable or disable the unit input keys. The Group drop down list allows selection of the Enable Control group.

To add Group:

• You can enter the name in Enable Group Name field and press Enter in keyboard. The Group Name is created by taking the next available Group Address.

  The created Group is saved in the network.

  or,

• Click . The Add Group pop-up appears.

  

• Enter the required details and then click OK. The Enable Group Name is created and listed in the Group drop-down list.

  NOTE:

  • Use a unique application name for each network.

  • Enter a maximum of 32 characters for the Group Name

  • You can use numbers, letters and special characters excluding /,” and #.

• Click Cancel to cancel the operation.

  To edit Group Name:

• Click to modify the group name.

  NOTE: Edit button is disabled if the Group is set to <Unused>.
  

• Make necessary changes and then click OK. You cannot edit the Enable Group Address after it has been created.

Disables When

It determines whether the Enable Control group enables or disables the input keys when the group itself is enabled. For example, if the Enable Control group is enabled, and Disables when radio button is set to ON, then the input keys will be deactivated.

Unit Identification

Unit Type

Displays the unit type of the device.

Catalogue Number

Displays the catalog number related to the unit type.

Firmware Version

Displays the version number of the C-Bus interface firmware which exists on the physical network or which has been assigned to a logical representation of the unit in the database.

Part Name

Displays the part name which is stored in the unit hardware, that can be modified.
