User Interfaces

This section describes the commissioning process for AntumbraButton, AntumbraTouch, AntumbraDisplay, and Revolution user interfaces using the DACM (v3 or later) communication module.

AntumbraButton

AntumbraTouch

AntumbraDisplay

Revolution

Dynalite UIs consist of an application module driven by Dynalite’s universal DACM communication module, which acts as the brain and network interface. The DACM can be programmed, installed, wired, and tested without the application module attached. This allows the commissioning process to begin before or during construction, protecting the application module from damage until the site is ready for occupancy.

Each UI button can be programmed to perform a variety of functions, ranging from basic lighting adjustment to complex preprogrammed tasks.

Example: AntumbraButton components

Inputs and outputs

Dynalite UIs include the following physical inputs and outputs:

Interface	Device	Description
Touch	Revolution AntumbraButton AntumbraDisplay	Mechanical buttons
AntumbraTouch	Capacitive glass facia
Sensors	All	Proximity — This sensor uses field effect technology to detect motion. When a user approaches the device, it initiates a wall-wash (Antumbra) or button LED (Revolution) lighting effect to encourage interaction. Temperature — The temperature sensor measures the temperature (in °C or °F) where the device is mounted. The AntumbraDisplay can show this value on its screen, and all UIs can communicate the temperature to other devices on the network.
Revolution	Humidity — Accurately reports relative humidity levels as a percentage. The value can be displayed on the standby screen and communicated to other devices.
Antumbra	Ambient light — An internal light sensor measures ambient light and adjusts light wash effect accordingly.
RS-485	DACM	Supports standard DyNet protocols.
Power	DACM	12-24 VDC (SELV/CLASS 2) — DyNet or standalone PSU.

12-24 VDC (SELV/CLASS 2) — DyNet or standalone PSU.

No physical ports are exposed when mounted. To access the DACM RS-485 port, the device must be removed from the wall.
