6 DESIGN CENTER: ADDING A MOBILE PASSWORD To be able to run the Equinox Architectural Dimming Software on mobile devices, it is vital to have an Equinox Mobile Passcode established. Follow these instructions to establish the mobile passcode. 1. Make sure the Design Center project has been programmed with an Equinox Mobile Passcode. This can be set up through Design Center. The Equinox App will not be able to run without the Equinox Mobile Passcode. In Design Center, click on Settings Project Information Owner tab and fill in the Equinox Mobile Passcode. Passcodes are case-sensitive and may consist of letters and numbers. After the code is entered, press OK. The system must then be programmed or updated (F5). 2. IMPORTANT: For remote connections to mobile devices, forward port to the InFusion controller s IP address. (example screen shown) 6

7 DESIGN CENTER: ADDING A COMMERCIAL TOUCHSCREEN Before employing the Equinox touchscreen, it needs to be added in Design Center for programming and communication. These steps will successfully add the Equinox touchscreen to your project. 1. Add the Equinox 73-LCAP station to your project from the Vantage Objects folder Vantage Objects: Touchscreens: Commercial Equinox 73 II. Program the controller (F5) before configuring stations. 2. Highlight station in Area View. Click Configure Stations up at the top. 3. The station may also be configured manually by typing the serial number in the project file. By using this method, the station will be configured when the system is programmed. 7

8 COMMERCIAL PROFILES A commercial profile is a customized set of user controls. There are three different levels of user/roles; Admin, Manager, and Guest. You can assign a name, role, and a set of permissions to each profile. Commercial profiles determine who can change settings or who has access to certain rooms and their control. Since there is a Design Center file with area structure, now is the best time to establish these profiles. There are two ways to program and set up Equinox touchscreens: 1) through Design Center and 2) within the touchscreen user interface itself. For complex projects, it is recommended to use Design Center. Simple projects and quick startups will have an easier setup within the Equinox user interface. ADMINISTRATOR: An Admin has access to all systems with the ability to create and edit infrastructure such as establish default room views, set schedules, determine visibility, and divide and combine rooms into areas. All settings are available to the Admin to set scenes, control areas and rooms, set viewing preferences, etc. The Admin has the ability to create a Manager role allowing the Manager access to the infrastructure that has been set with the ability to create and edit it according to the permissions granted within the Manager settings. MANAGER: A Manager can have a wide range of power from the same rights as an Admin to a very limited role of visibility only. An Admin determines those privileges. GUEST: A Guest does not have the ability to change any of the infrastructure. An Admin or Manager can determine if a Guest can have the ability to view Favorites and which widgets they can view. If nothing has been previously setup within Design Center, follow the below instructions for initialization and admin profile and password setup. If this setup has already been established through Design Center, the selected default profile and last screen viewed will be shown. OPTION 1: CREATING COMMERCIAL PROFILES IN DESIGN CENTER As mentioned above, the first way to program and set up a commercial profile is through Design Center. Establish the first user, the Admin, through the following steps. 1. Select Equinox View in left, bottom view of Design Center. 2. Right-click on Commercial Profiles to add a commercial profile. The default profile is the Admin profile. 3. Name the profile. Enter a preferred name in Display Name in the Object Editor to display on the device, otherwise the display will default to the top Name field. 4. Create a password for your admin profile in the Password box in the Object Editor. Note: Admin profiles will always have all permissions enabled. 8

9 OPTION 1: CREATING COMMERCIAL PROFILES IN DESIGN CENTER (continued) 5. To create other profiles, such as a Manager, right-click on Commercial Profiles and select Add Commercial Profile. (See step 2) Define the role, name, password, and display name (optional) in the Object Editor. Note: The second profile defaults as Manager. Define permissions to this role by checking Permission options. 6. Device Configuration: Allows user to add and configure lights and shades User Configuration: Allows user to create and edit profiles Scene Configuration: Allows user to create and edit scenes Schedule Configuration: Allows user to create and edit schedules Favorites Visible: Allows user to view and interact with saved favorites 7. To create a Guest profile, add a commercial profile (see step 2). Define the role in the Object Editor by choosing Guest in the drop down menu of Role. Assign a Name and Display Name as desired. To the right under Permissions, check whether or not the Guest will have access to favorites by checking Favorites Visible. This enables the Guest to see the scenes and loads in the favorites bar in Equinox and have the ability to launch them. 8. Select the widgets they are able to view up above in the Equinox View by clicking on the appropriate options of lighting, shade, scene, default, and partition views. After setting the desired profiles, save the information to the controller by Programming (F5). NOTE: A guest role is limited to view only. Password functionality is disabled in Guest mode. Guests are unable to edit or create scenes, schedules, etc. 9

10 OPTION 2: CREATING COMMERCIAL PROFILES IN EQUINOX The second way to establish a profile is through the Equinox interface itself. This is also a good place to quickly edit user profiles. If an Admin Password has not already been established, complete these steps first, otherwise proceed to the steps on page First Time Setup: Click on Create Admin Password to establish a custom password. 2. Using the keyboard, type in a password and press to confirm. 3. Once the Admin Password is established, press Initialize System to access the current default view with all on/all off control. 10

11 OPTION 2: CREATING COMMERCIAL PROFILES IN EQUINOX (continued) 1. To set up a user profile within the UI, go to the settings menu, indicated by the gear icon in the top right. Select Access and Permissions and click Add New User Role. If the Administrator, Manager or Guest role has already been established, it will be listed and available for editing. 2. In the Edit User Role dialog box, add a user name and select the access level (Manager, Guest). Create a password for the new role and continue to Management. 3. Under Management: Permissions, if you have chosen Guest, you will only have the option to have favorites visible. NOTE: Under On Startup, check Use this Profile to allow the current profile to be the default on the Equinox interface. 4. Within Management: Permissions, Guests do not have permissions to edit. Otherwise, the Manager role has permission to configure devices, users, scenes, and schedules or allow for visible favorites. Check the desired permission and then click to save changes. 5. Within Management: Views, choose which views the user has access to; shades, lighting, scenes, partitions, or default. Check the options you want available to either the Guest or Manager role. Click to save changes. 6. Under Management: Default View Select which Default View page the user sees first. When the screen times out, it will default to the view you have chosen. Click to save changes. 11

12 DELETING COMMERCIAL PROFILES IN DESIGN CENTER With changes in managers and guests, deleting profiles might become necessary. Follow these simple steps to clean up profiles. 1. In Design Center s Equinox View, under the Commercial Profiles, select the desired user and right-click and choose Delete, or simply hit Delete on the keyboard. DELETING COMMERCIAL PROFILES IN EQUINOX 1. Under Settings go to Access and Permissions and make sure the Admin profile is selected to be able to make permanent changes. Click the arrow to the right of the profile you want to delete. 2. Click the trash icon at the bottom to delete the user. 3. Confirm deletion by clicking or the to void and return to the previous edit screen. 12

13 WIDGETS EQUINOX NAVIGATION: EQUINOX 73-LCAP The Equinox user interface features a powerful, intuitive, and simple architecture. These LCD touchscreens provide familiar navigation as simple as the swipe of a finger. An ambient light sensor optimizes screen brightness; motion sensing technology automatically awakens the screen from sleep or power save mode and can activate a predetermined scene. Designed with familiar graphics and color options, the navigation delivers a system that can grow with users as their needs change and stays consistent from on-wall Equinox devices to mobile apps. AREA Configurable by the user to allow access to other rooms for control. Default room is where the touchscreen is located WIDGET BAR Swipe to reveal the available widgets of the room button, scenes, lights, shades, and divide and combine.

Simply right-click on the main lug to Add Breaker or right-click on the panel to Populate 23

24 EQUINOX: BASIC LIGHTING WIDGET The lighting widget within Equinox is based upon loads set in Design Center. Within the user interface you can quickly adjust load levels, make favorites and add to schedules. This section will cover the basic lighting widget and how to edit and control loads within Equinox. 1. Lighting loads by area are accessible from the lighting widget. A slider controls all the lights in the given area (defined at the top left of the screen) and allows for precise percentage dimming. Click on the dual lights to turn all lights to 100% on or all off. 2. For individual load control, select the desired load from the list on the right. At the main level you can simply toggle the load on or off. Access further control by touching the load name. NOTE: A load in the list with the dual icon / represents a load group. 3. Like the main lighting widget, the slider bar gives concise dimming capabilities for the selected load and all on/off options with the icons. 4. By clicking the three dots, you can add the selected load as a favorite or view its current schedule information. 5. Click the heart icon to add the lighting load to the favorites bar. This will appear on the bottom left of the screen. To remove from the favorites bar, click the heart again to unhighlight and remove. 24

25 EQUINOX: BASIC LIGHTING WIDGET 4. The other option is to add the load to a schedule. To add to a schedule, click the clock icon and select from available level and color schedules. If a schedule has been set up through settings or Design Center, click on the None arrow to view available schedules. Select the schedule you want to add the load to. You can also remove a schedule here. 5. The screen will display the settings for the selected schedule. For more instruction on adding schedules, see Settings: Schedules. 6. If you change the lighting level manually and it differs from the set schedule, this field will appear. Set an override time using the + / - buttons in hours. This will allow the current override settings to run for the allotted time before returning to the regular schedule. 25

26 ADVANCED LIGHTING WIDGET: DESIGN CENTER: ADDING A COLOR LOAD (DMX) AND TYPE In order to control color loads, the system requires a DMX DALI Gateway to coordinate the various color loads within Design Center. Follow these steps to add DMX DALI Gateway. 1. To enable and program color profiles in Design Center, you must add the DMX DALI Gateway to the system. Add through Vantage Objects: Stations, Other: DMX DALI Gateway. Double-click the DMX DALI Gateway to add. 2. Once you ve added it DMX into your project, note the default IP addresses shipped with the default DMX address: for communication. For configuring another IP address please see the DMX-DALI-GW installation instructions. Click here for instructions: DMX-DALI-GW Install.pdf 3. Add a color load by selecting the within the Object Editor. 4. Name and choose the type of color load under Color Type in the Object Editor. 5. Assign DMX channels per installed load. 26

27 ADVANCED LIGHTING WIDGET: COLOR TYPE OVERVIEW Note: The color type should model the fixture. This can be found in the manufacturing documentation for your fixture. You will also need to know what channel each attribute is assigned to for DMX. IN 0V 5V ETHERNET RST DMX-DALI-GATEWAY MODEL # - DMX-DALI-GW DC In: 12-48V Range: -40 C +60 C DC IN RTUD MX DALI + + CB A COM D- D+ DA+ DA- ADVANCED LIGHTING WIDGET: COLOR TYPE: CORRELATED COLOR TEMPERATURE (CCT) CCT: Correlated color temperature (CCT) is a specification of the color appearance of the light, from warm to cool tones. CCT is measured in degrees Kelvin. In order to differentiate the various hues of white, artificial light sources like LED light bulbs are labeled with a correlated color temperature, or CCT. CCT model is not full-color capable. Intensity (dimming level) and temperature can be adjusted. There are two channels of control Intensity and CCT. It is important to know also the full range of color temperature, so as to correctly model the range. There are fields within the model for Minimum and Maximum Temperature (scaled in degrees Kelvin). A fixture with separate temperature channels (such as 2700K, 4000K, and 6500K) that need to be mixed to achieve a specific temperature are not currently supported. ADVANCED LIGHTING WIDGET: COLOR TYPE: FULL COLOR CAPABLE PROFILES RGB: Direct control of three channels of primary colors - red, green and blue (RGB). Varying the value of the three channels will result in the full spectrum of hue and intensity, with some limited color saturation control. RGBW: Adds a white channel to the RGB channels, which allows for the same control as RGB but with more full range of color saturation. HSL (also known as HSI): Fixture driver mixes individual internal red, green, blue and white tracks and provides channels of direct control of hue, saturation and luminance (or intensity). HSIC: In addition to the three channels of control provided by the HSL, this also provides a CCT channel. This is the only color load model currently that provides both full-color and CCT control capability. 27

28 Control Color Coordinated Temperature (CCT) by setting the light to be warmer or cooler to create a perfect light for the surroundings. Live controls also allow for adjusting the intensity with the lightness bar. SETTING CCT WITHIN DESIGN CENTER ADVANCED LIGHTING WIDGET: COLOR TYPE: CCT 1. Select the Color Type (CCT). 2. Set channels intensity, and CCT. Program (F5) the controller. 3. Set Min. Temperature and Max. Temperature. Design Center will automatically set the range to 1650 (min) and 8000 (max). The range is fixture specific and is defined by the fixture manufacturer. See fixture details. 4. If connected with live connection, the screen will display a colored Lightness and Temperature slider in the Object Editor.
