User's Manual - Page 1
I- Introduction
The Protocol is an easy to install and to program Lighting control and dimming system, designed specifically to meet
the modern needs of lighting and energy controls.. Its state-of-the-art distributed processing electronics allows for a
very flexible single bus layout with no Central Processing Unit limitations. Whether the Protocol is controlling lighting
in a home, office, hospitality area, place of worship, or in any other private or public space, it will provide a reliable
easy to use, full featured Lighting control system.
CAUTION:
DO NOT CONNECT garbage disposals to the PROTOCOL system. Use a conventional
wall switch instead.
II- System Planning
A- Features and Capabilities
The PROTOCOL is a powerful and extremely flexible lighting controller. Where and how it is applied is only a function
of one’s vision and creativity. Here are some of the most powerful features that the Protocol system brings to the user:
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
Flexibility to control and/or dim a light or a group of lights from any or several different locations.
Non-volatile system memory allowing users to store their favorite mood or event-based lighting scenes.
Capability to reconfigure the lighting controls quickly and easily before, during, and after installation.
Distributed processing which makes total system shut-down virtually impossible. Unlike other systems,
each Protocol component communicates with the others without relying on a central unit that may fail
and cripple the entire system.
Modular design with a minimal amount of circuit components.
In-field Programming, Diagnostics and Troubleshooting.
On-line Programming, Diagnostics and Troubleshooting. This is particularly useful if help is needed from
the factory.
Intuitive and Easy to Use Windows-based User Software for programming and setting up the system.
Digital Lighting Systems takes great care in building and fully testing every system prior to release. Understanding
the system architecture combined with a little careful planning, at the beginning of the project, will ensure a smooth
installation, a trouble-free operation, and an end system that will conform to the expectations of the user. Blank forms
which can help in planning and organizing your work are provided with this manual . The following diagram illustrates
the architecture and basic elements of the Protocol System.

PROTOCOL
B- PS Series Wall Stations
PS Series Control Stations are microprocessor based with non-volatile memory and are available with 2 to 16 Switches
(Buttons). Each switch may be programmed to be either a Dimmer, Raise, Lower, Toggle, On, Off, Preset, or Momentary.
A Switch may be assigned from 1 to 24 loads (zones). Any Switch may be made "Global" to address the entire system
with provisions to exclude up to 24 loads (zones). An LED above the switch reflects the status of its loads/Presets.
Stations are available with an infrared receiver and can be controlled from a universal IR remote. The stations must be
mounted in Grounded masonry boxes or be grounded through the system wiring using the 5th green wire of its pigtail.
A unique address must be set using two hexadecimal rotary selectors on the back of the station. Refer to Appendix A for
proper address setting. Station addresses must start at 1 and end with the number of the last station used. If DCI-16
input interface modules are used, they are considered as stations by the Protocol and their addresses must not conflict
with station addresses. Up to 99 16-button stations can be used per system. A switch (button) in a station is referred to
by the configuration software as SS.nn, where SS is the station address and nn is the switch number. For example switch
11.09 represents station #11 - Switch #9. (Refer to Appendix D). The stations connect to the Protocol network bus
using a 4-wire plug-in pigtail. Appendix E contains a chart for determining the maximum number of stations that can be
connected to a single network cable run. Stations derive power from an external low voltage transformer. The DB44 is a
power and data distribution panel which can be used to facilitate wiring of stations.
Refer to Drawing #PHM-004 for additional information.
C- PD Series Dimmer and Switch Modules (PD MODULES or PD’s)
The PD Series Dimmer and Switch Modules are microprocessor based with non-volatile memory. They control between 2
and 8 individual loads and are available “-S” switch version for non-dim loads. Dimmer versions may also switch. PD Modules
are all fed in the same manner, by two 20 A circuit breakers on the same electrical phase. PD Modules come in a surface mount
aluminum enclosure. The PD Module dimensions are 11.75”(H) x 8.3”(W) x 4.12”(D). They have three ½" or 1/3” knockouts for
electrical conduit at the top of the enclosure and one on each side.
PD216 controls 2 x 16 Amp loads(2 x 1920 W @ 120 V), PD408 controls 4 x 8 Amp loads(4 x 960 W @ 120V), PD804 controls 8
x 4 Amp loads (8 x 480 W @ 120 V). Units are available in 12v, 24v, 120v, 220v versions and “-S” switch versions.
PD Modules may be mounted near the breaker panel or close to the loads to minimize line-voltage wire runs. The area must be
well ventilated and the ambient temperature must not exceed 110° F (43.3°C) for full load operation. Allow 4" side clearance for
proper air circulation. PD Modules may create some buzzing noise and should not be located where this will be objectionable.
A unique address must be set using two hexadecimal rotary selectors on the front panel (PD804 has two sets of rotary selectors
and is treated by the system as two PD’S). Refer to Appendix A for proper address setting. PD addresses must start at 1 and
end with the number of the last one used. If DCO-4 output interface modules are used, they are considered as PD's by the
system and their addresses must not conflict with other PD addresses. Up to 63 master PD's and 3 slave PD's per master can be
used in a system. The front panel has four LED’s which mimic the status of the high-voltage outputs (the PD804 has eight LED’s,
four for each set of four circuits). An output (channel) in a PD unit is referred to by the configuration software as PP.c, where PP is
the PD decimal address and c is the output number (1,2,3,4). For example output 14.2 represents PD #14 – Output #2.
The PD Dimmer derives low voltage power from its built-in transformer. Generally, a 2-wire data only connection with the
Protocol network bus is necessary. The PROTOCOL system now uses industry standard network cables to connect PD Modules
together, and also to connect them to the DB44 data and power hub. A 3 foot CAT 5 is supplied with every PD for daisy-chaining
several PD Modules and also connecting to the DB44 data and power hub. The DB44 has two RJ45 Jacks to provide
connections for the Pdxx DATA and the RAU-96.
Special Case
Protocol systems with 1 control module (station, or DCI-16's can use a PD Module to supply low voltage power to the
network. The external network power transformer is not required.
D- DB44 Power and Data Distribution Panel
The DB44 panel provides a convenient way for splicing Protocol network bus branches. It also supplies wall stations and other
control devices with interruptible power from an external low voltage transformer.
The DB44 has 2 RJ45 sockets to connect the DATA to the PDxx dimmers and to the RAU-96 for system programming, control,
and diagnostics.
The transformer is supplied by the factory and its output capacity is determined by the number of stations in the system. The
DB44 does not perform any system control or processing functions. The DB44 panel mounts in a 2-gang masonry box and may
be installed along with the external transformer near the distribution panel or the PD Modules.
Refer to DB44 specifications sheets and Drawing #PHM-006 for additional information.

PROTOCOL
E- RAU-96 Remote Access Unit (Optional)
The Remote Access Unit (RAU-96) interfaces the Protocol system (stations, dimmers, etc…) to a personal computer
(PC) or to a stand-alone modem for on-line access from a remote PC. The RAU-96 features a simple to use menudriven user interface that allows the user to perform three basic functions:
1
2
3
Configure and/or modify the configuration of system components (stations, dimmers, etc…).
Perform diagnostics and help with troubleshooting.
Perform direct control of the loads via DLS’s SOFTPRO or third party software interfaces.
The RAU-96 comes in a plastic table top box measuring 4.25” x 6.125” x 1.625”. It connects to the system network bus
via a special socket in the DB44 panel, using a special cable (CAT5). Another special cable (RS232-CC) is used to
connect the RAU to the PC or to the modem.
Usually Protocol systems are pre-configured at the factory as required by the end user. If changes are required later,
they may be performed at the job site or remotely and downloaded to the system via modem. The RAU-96 operating
instructions are provided in the PROTOCOL's software manual.
Refer to RAU-96 specifications sheets and Drawing #PHM-007 for more information.
F- Ethernet to RS232 serial interface (Optional)
An external RS232 to Ethernet interface could be added to allow programming and control of system by any PC on a
local area netwrok.
( by others, call factory for recommendations )
Refer to RAU-96 specifications sheets and Drawing #PHM-007 for more information.
G- Control Cable and Pigtail Connectors
The Protocol network bus cable consists of a data twisted-pair (-D / +D) and a low voltage twisted-pair (AC1 / AC2).
The data pair carries system commands and information and must be connected to all Protocol devices. The low
voltage pair is used to supply power to all low voltage Protocol control devices. PD Modules contain individual
transformers and do not connect to the network power bus. An additional earth ground wire may be required for
applications using plastic or improperly grounded masonry boxes.
The Protocol network bus may follow a combination of star, branch, T-tap or daisy-chain topologies. The network cable
may be Carol Cable #C3362 or equivalent, unless otherwise required. Several network cable runs may be used and
spliced together inside the DB44 panel. Refer to Appendix E to determine maximum length of cable runs. Preterminated cables, pigtails and cable jumpers are available to facilitate network connections and splicing. In order to
minimize wiring errors and facilitate troubleshooting. It is advisable to maintain the same cable color coding scheme
shown in drawings.
Refer to Drawings #PHM-002 through #PHM-004 for more information.
H- DCI-16 Dry Contact Input Interface (OPTIONAL)
The DCI-16 is a dry contact input interface module that can be used to link other systems, such as A/V, alarm, time
clocks, and energy management to the Protocol system. The DCI-16 may be viewed as a control station with 16
"phantom" button inputs. A relay closure from an external device connected to the DCI-16 is interpreted in the same
way as a button press on a control station. Switch input functions and control channel assignment are programmed and
loaded into the DCI-16, as if it were a control station, by means of PROTOCOL programming software. The DCI-16
address is set similarly to a station address and must not not conflict with any station address in the system. Up to 99
input devices may be installed in any one system (DCI-16’s, PS Series Stations, etc...).
Normally, the inputs of the DCI-16 are programmed as "Preset" functions. An external system is then able to recall up
to 16 system presets by momentarily closing and releasing relays connected to the inputs. Relay closures must be
maintained for a period of (0.5 +/- 20%) second.
The DCI-16 comes in an open-frame circuit module that can be integrated into existing system cabinets. It is also
available installed inside a 12" x 8" x 4" NEMA enclosure. the DCI-16 connects to the network bus using a 4-wire pigtail
connector.
Refer to Drawing #PHM-005 for more information.

PROTOCOL
I- DCO-4 Dry Contact Output Interface (OPTIONAL)
The DCO-4 is a dry contact output interface module that can be used to link the Protocol to other systems, such as
Audio-Visual systems, alarm systems, energy management systems, etc. The DCO-4 may be viewed as a PD Module
with "ON/OFF" dry contact outputs. Setting the DCO-4's address is similar to setting the PD's address. The address
used must not conflict with any PD's address in the system.
Combining the DCI-16 input interface module and the DCO-4 output interface module can provide a simple closed
loop communication scheme between the Protocol and other systems. For example, a DCO-4 relay closure can trigger
the alarm system or provide a positive feedback to an external system that initiated a preset recall through the DCI-16
input interface module.
The DCO-4 comes in an open-frame circuit module that can be integrated into existing system cabinets. It is also
available installed inside a 12" x 8" x 4" NEMA enclosure (part # DCO4-NE). The DCO-4 connects to the network bus
using a 4-wire pigtail connector.
Refer to Drawing #PHM-005 for more information.
J- PTX Patch Panels - Room Combiners (Special Application)
The PROTOCOL digital patch panels are designed for applications requiring the ability to patch control stations as room
configurations change. Common applications of the PROTOCOL digital patch panels include hotel meeting rooms,
ballrooms, restaurant banquet areas or other installations that employ moveable partitions. All PROTOCOL patch
panels are thin profile and feature front covers with no visible mounting hardware.
The PTP04 is a digital patch panel with a single gang faceplate that can digitally link control stations up to four
partitionable rooms. The PTP12, with a double gang faceplate, can digitally link control stations up to 12 partitionable
rooms. Typically, each of the rooms in these installations has the same lighting design, and it is recommended to
maintain the same lighting design and control functions as the partition is removed. When rooms are combined and
control stations are digitally linked, control stations in each of the combined rooms will have full control of programmed
button functions. Each room may have up to three additional control stations with the same button configuration, for
multi-point control within each room. The PTP Series can patch rooms in any possible combinations by simply
selecting the rooms using the individual room buttons and saving the selection in nonvolatile memory with a simple
push of a button.
The PTA Series patch panels are similar in functionality to the PTP Series. They feature programmable buttons that
can be preset to specific room combinations. These can be programmed at the factory and later modified using the
Protocol programming software to accommodate the changing requirements of the application. Users are able to
combine or separate rooms by pressing a single button on the panel.
The patch panels are physically and aesthetically identical to PS Series control stations. They are addressed similarly
to control stations starting at 1 and ending with the last patch panel number in the system. Up to 7 patch panels may be
present per system. Patch panel addresses do not conflict with station addresses.
The PT patch panels connect to the Protocol network bus using a 4-wire pigtail plug
Refer to PATCH PANEL specifications sheets and Drawing #PHM-004 for more information.
K- DLC Data Line Conditioning Module (Special Application)
This module may be required only in installations with BUS wiring using existing non twisted pairs and many star
branches or It may also be needed when network cable lengths exceed fifteen hundred feet. The DLC module consists
of a circuit board with passive elements. It can be mounted in a single-gang masonry box and connected to the DB44
panel. Contact factory for more information
L- Custom Accessories and Interface Modules (Special Application)
Digital Lighting Systems can supply application-specific PROTOCOL interface devices. Custom devices include RS232
to PROTOCOL data interface, DMX-512 to PROTOCOL data interface, and PROTOCOL interface to 0 - 10 VDC. All
interfaces may be either simplex or half-duplex and are designed and built upon request. Applications include
interfacing to touch screens and other input-output devices.
Contact our technical support team with your specific requirements for an estimate on cost and delivery.

As with any other light switches and dimmers, stations should be located in practical places to provide the user with
convenient access and natural operation. Station locations should be strategically planned to take full advantage of
the preset capabilities of the Protocol system. While creating and storing lighting scenes the user should be able to
visually adjust the lighting levels. Stations which are mainly used to recall lighting scenes should be placed in
strategic locations, such as main entrances, exits and night tables.
Locations of stations with IR receiver should be selected so that the IR station is as close as possible to a direct line
of sight with the IR transmitter.
Install a properly grounded masonry box or ground wire for each station. DO NOT INSTALL the stations at
this point.
Stations require connections to both twisted-pairs of the network bus. Depending on the total number of stations in
the system, several network cable runs may be required. Refer to the stations wiring section in the manual for
more details.

Refer to Appendix E to determine the number of separate cable runs needed for the stations.
Pull a network bus cable (2 pairs for data & power) for each group of stations as determined in the
previous step. For each group of stations, begin at the farthest station from the DB44 panel and pull the
cable in and out of each box leaving a 12" loop in the box. Terminate the cable for each group at the
DB44 panel leaving a 12" lead. For existing installations with plastic or non-grounded metal boxes, a
ground wire must be pulled alongside the control cable. No line-voltage or other high-voltage wires are
allowed to be closer than 7” from the control cable.
At each wall box, splice a PSXX-PT pigtail to the cable. Leave enough excess cable to allow the station
to be easily pulled out of the box and unplugged.
Wire the stations home run cables inside the DB44. Connect each cable (-D, +D, AC1 and AC2) to the
corresponding terminal of Terminal Blocks TB1 through TB4 (observe conductors color code and/or
label). If there are more than four home runs, you may connect two or more home runs to the same
terminal block (TB).
DO NOT plug-in the stations pigtails at this time.
Refer to Drawing #PHM-004 for more information.
2- PD Series Dimmer and Switch Modules Low Voltage Wiring

C- Connecting Loads and Power Line Feeds to PD Series Dimmers and Switch
Modules
€
€
€
€
€
Refer to the PD Module User Manuals and Specifications Sheets before proceeding.
Test each load individually by direct wiring to a breaker protected hot line feed before proceeding to next step.
Connect each load to its respective output of each PD Module. Use the Job Submittal Document and/or the building
plans for the proper location of each load.
Connect one or two (as required) 20 Amp. Breakers from the same phase to H1 & H2 terminals of each PD Module.
Make sure all breakers feeding the PD Modules are turned OFF at this time.
CAUTION
1
Do not connect garbage disposals or any equipment that can cause harm if turned on
unexpectedly to the PROTOCOL dimming system. Use conventional mechanical air-gap
switches instead. In general, electronic control systems are prone to false turn-on or
latching due to voltage spikes and other uncontrollable elements such as lightning
strikes.
2
The PROTOCOL system must be installed by qualified personnel in accordance with all
NEC and local codes.
D- Continuity Check And Final Connections
This procedure must be observed to insure that all network data and power cable runs are wired properly and to avoid
any possible damage to Protocol components that may result from short-circuits or polarity reversal on any of the
network bus wires. This check is performed inside the DB44 panel.
None of the control stations, interface modules, or PD data cables should be plugged-in at this time.
1- Checking For Low Voltage Wiring Short Circuits

Set your OHM-Meter to “continuity check” and select any one of terminal blocks (TB1-4) for this test.
Start with the black meter lead at position 1 and the red lead at positions 2, making sure that the meter shows
an open-circuit. Repeat with the red lead at positions 3, 4 & 5.
Move the black lead to positions 2 and repeat above steps, making sure that the meter always shows an opencircuit. Repeat above with the black lead at positions 3 then 4, etc…
If at any point you encounter a short-circuit between any of the conductors, check all your cables and repeat
previous steps 1-3 until all connections show an open-circuit.
2- Visual Inspections & Final Connections

PROTOCOL
IV- Switch Function And Operation Guide
The switches ( buttons) in the control station operate in different ways depending on the function that they were
assigned during system configuration using the PROTOCOL Software. The switch function and the loads associated
with it may be changed at any time. For example, a button on a particular station may be programmed as a RAISE
Switch for loads 1.1, 1.4, 4.4, 5.3 and 6.1. At a later time, its function and/or loads may be modified by connecting the
RAU-96 to the system and downloading a new station file. Following is a description of available functions and their
use:
TOGGLE Switch
The Toggle function works alternately. When the switch is pressed, its load(s) will turn ON if previously OFF or will turn
ON if previously On. The associated LED mimics the status of the load(s) If any of the loads is On, the LED will light, else
it will extinguish. This type of switch should be used for relays, motors, or other non-dimmable fixtures.
DIMMER Switch
This type of switch combines dimming and toggling. About 0.5 sec. after the switch is pressed and held, the lighting
level starts to increase until maximum trim is reached. After 1.5 sec., if the switch remains pressed, the lighting level
starts to decrease until minimum trim is reached. This up-down ramping continues until switch is released. At this
point the last level reached is stored in memory. Momentarily pressing the switch toggles the lighting level between Off
and the last stored level. The LED associated with this switch mimics the status of the load. It will light if the level is
greater than 0% and will extinguish otherwise.
ON Switch
Momentarily pressing the switch turns the lights to the level that was specified during switch configuration. The default
value is 100%. If a 90% level is programmed, then the lights will turn on to 90% every time this switch is pressed. The
LED associated with this switch mimics the status of the load. It will light if the level is greater than 0% and will
extinguish otherwise.
OFF Switch
Momentarily pressing the switch will always turn the lights Off. The LED associated with this switch mimics the status of
the load. It will light if the level is greater than 0% and will extinguish otherwise.
RAISE Switch
Pressing the switch will increase the light level for as long as the switch is pressed. When the desired level is reached
release the switch. If the level reaches 100%, no further action is taken. The LED associated with this switch mimics the
status of the load. It will light if the level is greater than 0% and will extinguish otherwise.
LOWER Switch
Pressing the switch will decrease the light level for as long as the switch is pressed. When the desired level is reached
release the switch. If the level reaches 0%, no further action is taken. The LED associated with this switch mimics the
status of the load. It will light if the level is greater than 0% and will extinguish otherwise.
MOMENTARY Switch
As the name implies this type of switch turns a load on for as long as it is pressed and turns the load off when released.
It is useful for controlling curtains and screens. The LED associated with this switch turns on only while the switch is
pressed.
PRESET Switch
This switch is used to store or recall lighting scenes for a single load or group of loads. A group of loads may have
several Preset Switches. Each switch must be assigned a different preset number, unless you want a duplicate preset
on another station.
Storing a PRESET Scene
Adjust the lights to desired levels using their individual dimming switches. Press and hold the Preset switch until LED’s
on the station flash (after 4 seconds). The lighting levels are now stored. See APPENDIX F for more information.
Recalling a PRESET Scene
Momentarily press the switch. Upon release, all loads associated with the switch will return to their previously stored
levels. Dimmed-loads will go through a gradual level change. Non-dimmed loads will return to either full on or full off,
depending on their previous state during the store operation. The associated LED turns on during recall and remains on
until another Preset switch for the same group of loads or a Global (All loads) Preset is recalled. The RAU-96 provides a
way to lock and unlock the Store Preset function on any station to prevent inadvertent overriding of stored scenes. In a
new feature, this locking and unlocking feature is now also available from the station itself.
Please see Appendix F for information on locking and unlocking station to allow setting of preset scenes.

1- The continuity check must be performed, before connecting transformer to TB5, to
insure all signals are short-circuit free.
2- All modules must be un-plugged from the network bus to prevent sneak circuits.
3- Perform the continuity check on just one of the TB's terminals since they are all
interconnected.
4- Using a simple Ohm-meter check continuity between all terminals.
5- Maximum Fuse Rating: 3A - 125 VAC.

Other PD Modules have inputs wired in the same manner.
PD216 has one output per input and PD804 has 4 outputs per
input. Refer to PD216/408/804 User Manuals for exact line
and load wiring instructions for each dimmer.
Network Bus
0 Each Protocol device must have a unique decimal address.
0 The address is set in Hexadecimal format using two rotary selectors found on each
device. Refer to Appendix A for properly setting [S2, S1] to the desired decimal address.
0 All devices must be RESET each time an address is modified by temporarily powering
them off and back on.
0 Valid station addresses begin at 1 and end at 99. The DCI-16 is considered like a station
and cannot have an address taken by a station in the system.
0 Valid PD Module addresses begin at 1 and end at 63. The PD804 is considered by the
system as two PD Modules and will have two separate addresses. The DCO-4 is
considered as a PD SWITCH Module and cannot have an addresses taken by a PD
Module in the system.

RESET BUTTON (RECESSED)
Revision 08/08

Individual light levels may still be changed whether station is locked or unlocked. Only presets buttons are affected
by this procedure.
Once all scenes have been stored, the station may now be locked. Locking the station is done by reseting the station
by using the reset button or unplugging the station from its power supply. The station is now locked.
While the station is reseting (all LED’s on station will be flashing for 10 seconds ), buttons 4 and 8 must be pressed
simultaneously (LED’s will cease to flash). The presets are now unlocked. Scenes can now be set by the usual
method (adjusting light levels and then pressing and holding a preset button for 4 seconds until all LED’s flash).
To “unlock” the presets in order to be able to set a lighting scene, the station will need to be reset. The station is reset
by either unplugging it from its power supply or pressing the reset button located under the faceplate between
buttons 1 and 5.
The preset (scene) Lock feature ensures that the end-user cannot change the scenes by accident. The default setting
of the station is to have the preset buttons locked. When preset buttons are locked scenes cannot be changed.
