V A N T A G E ® Installation 1061 SOUTH 800 EAST • OREM, UTAH 84097 • TELEPHONE 801.229.2800 • FACSIMILE 801.224.0355 • www.vantagecontrols.com Overview The Vantage AccentPoint Dimmer II connects to the Vantage Control System through RadioLink®. It enables a lamp and other similar type loads to be controlled by a keypad, timed event, IR button, etc. It has two loads and one button for each load with default programming to allow for local control whether it is communicating with the Vantage system or not.

Current per Load 2.5A Each Load Max. Watts Per Load 300W@120V Lightning / Surge Protection High Voltage meets IEEE C62.41 (6000V & 3000A) Low Voltage meets ITU-T K.20 Station Equivalent 1 RadioLink Station Ambient Operating Temperature 32 - 95°F -or- 0 - 35°C Ambient Operating Humidity 5 - 95% non-condensing LED Indicator Status Load Types incandescent or low voltage magnetic fixtures only UL and CUL Listed Yes FCC Yes System Requirements This station is compatible with InFusion Design Center Systems. For new projects it is recommended that firmware and software be kept to the most current release. Installation Installation of Vantage products should be performed or supervised by a Certified Vantage Installer. 1. Make sure the lamp to be controlled is turned ON. 2. Plug the lamp into the load 1 or load 2 outlet on the bottom of the AccentPoint. 3. Plug the AccentPoint into the bottom receptacle of a power outlet. Notice the plug of the AccentPoint Dimmer II Station may be rotated 180°. If the GND prong on the outlet is UP, rotate the plug as illustrated so the Load Outlets are facing down (recommended). 4. The lamp is now ready to be controlled by the Vantage system. Steps to Rotate the Outlet The plug should only be rotated once. Only rotate when necessary as described in step 3 above. 1. Use a precision grade Phillips #1 screw driver to remove the screw from the plug assembly of the station. 2. Pull the plug assembly out by hand and rotate it 180° 3. Reinsert the plug by hand. Line it up and press it in until the face of the plug assembly is flush with the case. 4. Fasten the plug assembly with the screw removed in step 1. 5. Do not over tighten. Station Set Up in Design Center Software 1. Select the room 2. Click on Vantage Objects in the Object Explorer and expand Stations, RadioLink. 3. From the list of stations double click on the AccentPoint Dimmer II station to place it in the room. 4. In the Object Editor, name the station and make sure it is on the correct RadioLink bus port. Configuration RadioLink stations need to be configured to associate which physical station goes with the station in software. When the station is initially powered-up, the Status LED will blink three times followed by a pause - this means the station is powered correctly but not yet on the network. Before uploading the file to the Vantage system, do the following: 1. In Design Center with the AccentPoint Dimmer II highlighted, in the Object Editor click in the Serial Number section 2. Manually type in the serial number of the AccentPoint Dimmer II station. enter the serial number for each RadioLink 3. Repeat for each AccentPoint Dimmer II station 4. TIP: The serial number of each station is located on a permanent sticker on the station. Record this number for easy reference when programming in Design Center. 5. When the InFusion System is programmed, the Main Controller will add all RadioLink stations that it has serial numbers for. This may take several minutes depending on the number of RadioLink stations on the network. 6. The Status LED will blink steadily when logged on to the network. Device Operation The AccentPoint Dimmer II is designed to be controlled from a separate keypad, timed event or other control on the Vantage System. It also has a button for local control of each load. The button operates with default programming whether or not the device is communicating with the Vantage System. The default programming is shown in the table below: Button Action Load Operation Single Press The load toggles between off and the learned level (default is 100%). The turn on ramp time is 1.5 second and the turn off fade time is 5 seconds. Double Press The load ramps to 100% in 1 second. The second press must be within 1 second of the first press. Press and Hold After a one second delay the load will ramp in the opposite direction from the last press and hold. If the load reaches 0 or 100% it will reverse direction. When the button is released the current load level will be saved as the new learned level for that button. The cycle time is 5 seconds from 0-100%. When power is restored from a power outage the device will return the loads to the last load level. This will occur whether or not the Dimmer is connected to a system. Local Control The AccentPoint Dimmer II also has a feature that allows the lamp to be turned on from the switch on the lamp itself. If the lamp is being controlled by the AccentPoint Dimmer II and it is currently in the “off” state, turn the switch on the lamp, to the “off” position and then back to the “on” position. This will cause the AccentPoint Dimmer II to turn the lamp on at the learned level and report the status change to the Vantage Main Controller. This feature can be disabled in Design Center by checking the Disable Manual box. Reset Configuration data is stored locally so that it will continue to operate correctly if communication with the system is lost. This information includes: LED properties, load profile, last load level, and default learn levels. To reset this information to the factory RadioLink® AccentPoint Dimmer II — APDIM default, unplug the device, press and hold both buttons in and plug it in while holding the buttons down. After a reset the load profile will be Defau…

CONFIDENTIALITY REQUEST LETTER Vantage Controls Inc. 1061 South 800 East Orem, UT 84097 Phone: (801) 229-2800 FAX: (801) 224-0355 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Subject: Request for Confidentiality FCC ID: PII-AP2RL To Whom it May Concern: In accordance with §0.459 of CFR 47, Vantage Controls requests confidentiality for the following items: 1. Block Diagram 2. Schematic Diagrams 3. Theory of Operation These items contain detailed system and equipment description and related information about the product which Vantage Controls considers to be proprietary, confidential and a custom design which otherwise would not be released to the general public. Since this design is a basis from which future technological products will evolve, Vantage Controls also feels that this information would be of benefit to its competitors, and that the disclosure of the information in these exhibits would give our competitors an unfair advantage in the market.

They are designed to be plugged into a standard wall outlet to allow central control of lighting for a building. The transceiver operates in the 902-928 MHz unlicensed ISM frequency band and uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology. The AP2 series comes in two configurations depending on the type of loads to be controlled. The configurations both use the exact same transceiver. The components are the same and PCB layout of the transceiver is the same for all configurations. The only differences between devices are the load controls. One version uses relays to control the loads, and the other uses dimmer circuits. The configurations are shown below: Ordering Code Description APREL 2-Load Relay Control APDIM 2-Load Dimmer Control This report covers the transmitter that is required to meet the requirements of FCC Part 15, Subpart C. The receiver and digital circuitry is covered in separate testing and report. 2.3 EUT and Support Equipment: The FCC ID numbers for all the EUT and support equipment used during the test are listed below: COMMUNICATION CERTIFICATION LABORATORY TEST REPORT: 1398 FCC ID: PII-AP2RL Page 6 of 46 Brand Name Model Number FCC ID Number Description Name of Interface Ports / Interface Cables BN: Vantage Controls MN: APDIM (Note 1) PII-AP2RL Load Controller – Dimmer See Section 2.4 BN: Vantage Controls MN: APREL (Note 1) PII-AP2RL Load Controller - Relay See Section 2.4 Note: (1) EUT The support equipment listed above was not modified in order to achieve compliance with this standard. 2.4 Modification Incorporated/Special Accessories on EUT: There were no modifications or special accessories required to comply with the specification.
