Electronic Energy Controls Relay Controller

To add the Electronic Energy Controls AR-16 Relay controller, please do the following:

 

Select the More Ports Layer

Select the "More Ports" layer of the Design Module.

 

Add the AR-16 Relay Controller

Click in the location in the room in which you plan to add the additional ports.

 

 

You will get a pop up menu like the one at the right.

From the "Type" dropdown box, select "Relay Control Unit.

 

 

 

The menu will change to look like the one at the right.

From the "Make" dropdown box select "AR-16 Relay Control Unit".

 

Give the relay controller a name that pertains to its function (e.g., Windows for relays that will open and close windows).

Select the RS232 "Serial Protocol".

Select the serial port.

Click OK.

 

 

After adding the Relay Controller, a red dot will appear where you initially clicked to add it. If you want to change any of the parameters of that Relay Controller, click on the red dot and make sure the "Edit Relay Controller Unit" menu pops up. It is the one that also has a "Delete" button on it - otherwise, you will be adding a second Relay Controller.

Now these relays are available for:

  • Adding a device that is "Controlled by (and wired to)" a relay.

  • "Energize a Relay" in the Entertainment menu on the "Control" tab.
