Safety Considerations

Lamp Replacement

It is a safety requirement that lighting loads be electrically isolated for relamping. To
do this, use the air-gap switch to the right of the adorne device as shown and move the
switch upwards. When the LED goes out, the load is safely isolated for relamping. To
restore normal operation, move the switch back to the down position.

Dimmer Derating

For multi-gang installations, use pliers to break off the specified heat sink fins.

De-rate the maximum load according to the following table.

Configuring an adorne Wireless Lighting System

In order to function, adorne Wireless Lighting devices have to be “bound” together into a simple wireless
network. This is very easy to do, but it helps to understand how and why it works.

1. All adorne Wireless Lighting devices must obtain a unique House ID to prevent interference with
neighboring systems.

2. In addition, adorne Wireless Lighting devices may be bound together in GROUPS, usually one or
more remote switches & dimmers with a master switch, dimmer, or plug-in module.

3. All adorne Wireless Lighting devices and GROUPS in a room may be bound together with one or
more Room Remote Control(s) to provide simple control of multiple recorded lighting scenes.

Every programming process in an adorne Wireless Lighting system consists of placing the devices into
a “learn” or “program” mode by pressing and holding the on/off button. Once this has been done, any
configuration, from establishing a House ID to creating GROUPS, is accomplished by pressing the buttons
on the faces of the devices.

Programming Example: Setting a unique HOUSE ID in a new installation

1. First make sure all status LEDs on all devices are solid AMBER.

2. Press the on/off button of any switch or dimmer for five seconds. Its status LED will flash AMBER,
and all other devices’ status LEDs will flash GREEN.

3. Press the on/off button of the same switch or dimmer that is flashing amber for another five seconds.
All status LEDs will flash GREEN for two seconds and then turn solid WHITE.

GROUP Level Control

A GROUP is two or more devices bound together so that each device controls itself and other devices in the
same way. For example, double-tapping the on/off button will turn all devices on.

A GROUP usually comprises a master switch or dimmer with one or more remote switches and dimmers.
GROUPs may also contain multiple master switches or dimmers, such as in a large area lit by several
ceiling downlights.

ROOM and HOUSE level devices (i.e., remote controls and repeaters) cannot be included in GROUPs.

Like all adorne Wireless Lighting system elements, all GROUP members must first be bound to the same
house ID. GROUPS may be included in ROOMS, but they may also stand alone. adorne Wireless Lighting
GROUPS are commonly used as a substitute for a four-way circuit with multiple control points, particularly
in retrofits where adding wiring may be an issue.

Please note that when a GROUP is bound into a ROOM, it is not necessary to also bind each GROUP member
into the ROOM; one in, all in is the rule.

All three GROUPED devices provide seamless dimming control
from three locations.

Note that each device may be fed from a different circuit
– even a different phase. adorne Wireless Lighting’s RF
communications are independent of AC wiring.

Plug-in lamp modules are often placed behind furniture.
GROUPing them with a remote dimmer or switch provides
control where you want it. Coordinate control of non-dimmable
loads (such as kinetic sculptures and fountains) using Plug-in
Appliance Modules.

Creating a New Group

1. Ensure all potential group members’ status LEDs are solid WHITE.

2. Press and hold the on/off button of one device that you want to include in the GROUP until the LED
flashes AMBER.

3. For each device that you would like to add to the GROUP, press and hold the on/off button for five seconds
until the LED turns from GREEN to AMBER.

4. Repeat for all devices that you wish to add to the GROUP.

5. Press and hold the first item’s on/off button for five seconds and release.

6. All device LEDs should return to a solid WHITE.

Adding or Removing a Device from a Group

1. Ensure all potential group members’ status LEDs are solid WHITE.

2. Press and hold one device’s on/off button until the LED flashes AMBER.

3. All GROUP members’ LEDS should now be flashing AMBER, while un-included devices’ LEDs
should flash GREEN.

Setting Up Remote Controls

A ROOM is a number of adorne Wireless Lighting devices (expect HOUSE level devices or repeaters) bound
together under the control of one or more remote controls. Room remote controls allow users to set,
modify, and recall up to four lighting scenes. They also enable ROOM on/off and proportionally lower or
raise overall room brightness. Any number of room remote controls may be used.

Scenes

A ROOM scene is a configuration of light level information for every adorne Wireless Lighting device bound
to the ROOM. ROOM scenes have a default fade time of two seconds. Scene information is stored in the
device connected to the load (master dimmers or switches), NOT in the room remote control.

Location

Typically, users place room remote controls on their included cradles at room entrances. They may also
wish to lift the room remote control off its cradle for portability.

Setting up a Remote Control

1. Ensure all status LEDs are solid WHITE.

4. Press and hold any item’s on/off button to include it in the GROUP (if it is flashing GREEN) or to
remove it from the GROUP (if it is flashing AMBER).

5. Press and hold the first item’s on/off button for five seconds and release.

6. All devices should flash GREEN for two seconds and then turn a solid WHITE.

2. Press and hold the +/- paddle on the remote control for five seconds and release. The LED should be
flashing AMBER.

3. All device LEDs should now be flashing GREEN, unless they have already been bound to the remote
control.

4. Press and hold any device’s on/off button to include it in the GROUP (if it is flashing GREEN) or to remove
it from the GROUP (if it is flashing AMBER).

5. Please note - if you have bound one device from a GROUP to the remote, then all GROUP members will be
bound to the remote.

6. Press and hold the remote’s +/- paddle for five seconds and release.

7. All devices should flash GREEN for two seconds and then turn a solid WHITE.

SETTING UP A WHOLE-HOUSE REMOTE CONTROLSETTING UP A WHOLE-HOUSE REMOTE CONTROL

HOUSE Level Control

With adorne Wireless Lighting, users can control their entire home with a single touch using HOUSE scenes.
Other important HOUSE level functions include occupancy emulation and Panic mode.

House Remote Controls

House remote controls look like room remote controls but include a house icon on the face. Typically, users
place house remote controls on their cradles inside exterior doorways and inside the doorway to the garage.
They may also wish to lift the house remote control off its cradle for portability, for example at bedside in
the master suite.

House Scenes

adorne Wireless Lighting supports up to four HOUSE scenes. Commonly used scenes include:

• Pathway lighting (e.g., from the master bedroom to the kitchen)

• Balanced whole HOUSE look for entertaining, including patio and landscape lighting

• HOUSE sleep scene at night, in which desired general lighting is off and low level pathway lighting is on

• HOUSE off scene when leaving, which can include occupancy emulation (see page 23)

HOUSE Level Control

Creating a New Scene

1. Adjust the light levels throughout the house (or room) to the desired settings for the scene.

2. Press and hold any of the four numbered buttons on the remote for five seconds and release.

3. The remote’s LED should flash GREEN for two seconds and then turn a solid WHITE.

Removing a Device from a Scene

1. Press and hold the +/- paddle on the remote for five seconds and release. The LED should be
flashing AMBER.

2. All room or house members’ LEDs will now be flashing AMBER.

3. Press and release the desired scene button (1, 2, 3, or 4) on the remote.

4. Press and hold the on/off button on the device you would like
to remove. Release after five seconds. The LED should now be flashing GREEN.

5. Press and hold the +/- paddle on the remote for five seconds and release.

6. All LEDs should flash GREEN for two seconds and then turn a solid WHITE.

• HOUSE arrival scene in which desired lighting throughout the house is on upon arrival

HOUSE scenes differ from ROOM scenes because:

• They may include any or all adorne Wireless Lighting devices and GROUPS in the house

• They may include a Repeater for occupancy emulation (page 23)

• Every device in the scene must be individually bound to that scene.

Devices may be toggled in and out of a HOUSE scene using a simple binding process.

Four scene buttons may
be set up to program and
recall up to four scenes.

The paddle offers
programmable house
on (up) and house off
(down) functions.

Expanding an adorne Wireless Lighting System

An adorne Wireless Lighting System may be expanded in a number of ways:

• Increase RF (radio frequency) range with a Repeater

• Interface with external systems and devices via:

- RS232 Network Controller

- Scene Interface

- IR Interface

Increasing RF Range via Repeaters

We recommend including a Repeater in all whole-house systems for the following reasons:

• Increases transmit/receive range of an RF network

• Provides occupancy emulation (see P. 18)

Additional range ensures effective operation in any setting, while occupancy emulation is a significant
feature for homeowners.

The Repeater has a large antenna which allows it to receive and retransmit transmissions from other
devices up to 100 feet away. When the Repeater picks up a message including its own House ID, it
retransmits it.

Note: Due to differences in
construction and other factors,
some trial and error in Repeater
positioning may be required for
optimum coverage.

About RF and RF Range

adorne Wireless Lighting uses the 900MHz band for license-free, high-speed control communication. These
products use multiple channels simultaneously in this band, ensuring reliable communications without
interference from other wireless devices.

RF Range

In an open field, adorne devices will reliably communicate over several hundred feet.

In a conventional wood or steel frame building, communications typically range up to 100 feet, which is
more than adequate for most homes.

Some factors may reduce transmitting range, such as solid concrete walls and slabs. Another factor is
the use of metal wall plates – particularly if they are used in combination with metal back-boxes.

When possible, install wireless products in plastic boxes to maximize RF range. Metal boxes diminish
RF signals.

These factors are unlikely to be relevant in apartment buildings, as each application is usually within a
concrete shell. Where multifloor apartments exist, there will probably be a stairwell opening in the slab,
enabling communications between floors.

In applications where these factors may be an issue or in very large applications, one or two Repeaters may
be used to increase the effective communication range of adorne devices.

When a single Repeater is being used, users should locate it close to the center of the building,
remembering that the building is a three-dimensional space. Identify a place near the vertical and

horizontal center line. The Repeater uses an external power supply that needs to plug into any
120-volt outlet.

Up to two Repeaters may be used in very large buildings. There is no benefit to using a second Repeater
unless actually necessary.

Interfacing with Other Automation Systems via
the RS232 Network Controller

Users can connect their adorne Wireless Lighting with external automation systems for expanded
functionality by using the RS232 Network Controller (MR232-G). The RS232 communicates control
commands to adorne Wireless Lighting components using the controllers of other home systems.

Common applications include:

• Home automation systems

• Home theater systems and whole-house audio/video

• Control of lighting scenes for television or movie viewing using a home theater controller

Interfacing with External Devices via IR Interface

In an adorne Wireless Lighting system, the optional IR to RF Interface (MRIR1) is used as a house or room
remote control that works with external IR systems or components to integrate lighting control with other
home automation systems (i.e., whole house audio or home theater systems).

The MRIR1 accepts IR data via an internal IR sensor or an external IR sensor connected to a 3.5mm jack,
and then transmits control signals to the appropriate devices on the adorne Wireless Lighting System
network. The interface is supplied with an external 12V power supply as well as a programming remote.

Occupancy or Vacancy Sensor

An occupancy sensor application could use either Mode A or Mode B. Most applications would use Mode B.
In this configuration, a scene executes when the sensor initially detects motion; a second scene executes
when the sensor determines that the space is unoccupied. Mode A allows auto-on, manual-off, and
manual-on/auto-off functions. A manual-on/auto-off application requires the input to be wired to a NC
contact and the scene stored to turn the appropriate lighting off.

DESIGNING A SYSTEMOPERATING THE SYSTEM

Using Occupancy Emulation/Vacation Mode

The Repeater monitors all adorne Wireless Lighting network traffic, and records a seven-day “loop” of
network events. When activated, it “replays” the recorded loop, providing a highly realistic emulation of
occupancy – a great security feature when homeowners are away.

Users can activate occupancy emulation in two ways:

• Press the “away” button on the Repeater

• Include a Repeater in a house scene

Away

Designing an adorne Wireless Lighting System

Designing an adorne Wireless Lighting system involves significant advance planning, particularly in
identifying what the residents want from their lighting on a daily, weekly, and occasional basis as well
as at different times of the day.

The basic steps involved in designing an adorne Wireless Lighting project include:

1. Determining the project scope

Projects can range from controlling a few lights to controlling all interior and exterior lighting,
selected appliances, and interfacing to other home automation systems.

2. Determining the type of all lighting loads

Determine the type (incandescent, fluorescent, low voltage, CFL, LED, etc.) of all lighting loads to be
controlled and the location of all control devices. Also determine whether a neutral is present, as all

adorne Wireless Lighting devices (except incandescent dimmers) require a neutral.

3. Determining and specifying the devices needed to provide the desired level
of control

• Power devices (i.e., dimmers, switches, and plug-in modules) are required for every load on the

wireless network.

When the Repeater is included in a house scene, the user presses the relevant scene button to activate
emulation when leaving the premises. The system begins occupancy emulation after a one-minute interval
Upon an occupant’s return, as soon as a user presses any device, the Repeater stops playback and starts
updating its loop for the next occasion.

• Control devices (i.e., remote controls) provide additional control points or scene control capability.

• Interface accessories (i.e., RS232 Network Controller or Scene Interface) enable integration with

home automation systems (i.e., alarm systems, time clocks).

• Repeaters are for installations requiring greater RF range or where occupancy emulation is desired.

• Plug-in appliance and lamp modules allow coordinated control of lamps and appliances.

Don’t Forget the Plug-in Modules!

• An application may require more than a designer initially anticipates.

• Over time, homeowners will find more uses for them (Christmas lights, coffee machines, TVs,

and more).

• Include at least one extra Plug-in Lamp Module and one extra Plug-in Appliance Module in

any bill of materials.

RS232 standard. It shall communicate with standard ASCII
communication protocol and shall utilize a 38.4 Kbd baud
rate. It shall provide two user interfaces and be accessible
via any PC running a terminal emulator.

Q: Is adorne Wireless Lighting’s Top Dog protocol the same

as or compatible with Zigbee or Zensys (Z-Wave) RF
protocol?

A: No. Top Dog is a frequency-agile platform designed

specifically for Legrand wirless lighting systems. It is
used for adorne Wireless Lighting as well as the legacy
Legrand RF Lighting Control system.

Q: Can I interface adorne Wireless Lighting with other

home automation systems like time clocks, occupancy
sensors, and touch screens?

A: Yes. adorne Wireless Lighting includes two primary

means of interfacing with other home automation
systems. For systems utilizing an RS232 protocol, users
can select the Legrand MR232 Network Controller. For
systems requiring a contact closure output, Legrand
offers Room and House Scene interfaces (MRRC3 and
MRHC3). In a home theater application, an IR to RF
interface can also be used to invoke scenes with your
favorite learning remote.

Q: Since adorne Wireless Lighting operates on the 900 Mz

band, can an adorne Wireless Lighting system cause
interference with my WiFi network or be interfered with
by other RF products?

A: The Legrand technology uses the 900 MHz unlicensed

space and will not in any way interfere with 2.4GHz
products. Additionally the system is frequency agile and
broadcasts its message over five channels simultaneously
for robust and instantaneous communication.

Q: Can multiple adorne Wireless Lighting systems within

RF range interfere with one another?

A: No. Each adorne Wireless Lighting system automatically

assigns a unique ID ensuring that one system cannot
interfere with another.

Q: If each adorne Wireless Lighting System has a unique ID,

can I expand my system?

A: Yes. Just install the new device(s) and they will receive a

broadcast of the previously assigned house ID.

Q: What is the capacity of a system installation and how

does this compare to other commercially available RF
systems?

A: The system can support up to 100 load-controlling

devices. If your system requires more than that, please
consult with our technical support professionals for
assistance.

Q: Do I need to use a repeater?

A: A repeater is typically not necessary for partial home

lighting control or smaller homes; however, it is
recommended for homes greater than 2,500 square feet
or where there is obstructing material such as concrete
walls or floors. You may use up to two repeaters for very
large homes. It is recommended to specify at least one
repeater per house as a best practice. See page 10 for
more information on repeaters.

Q: What other functions does the repeater provide?

A: In addition to increasing the RF range, the repeater

features an away mode that will emulate the last seven
days that the house was in use. This is especially helpful
if you go on vacation and want the house to appear
occupied. See page 10 for more information on repeaters.

Q: What is the typical RF range?

A: There is no precise way to measure RF range, since it

can be affected by any number of application-specific
factors (i.e., wall composition, amount and placement of
windows/mirrors, metal electrical boxes etc). That being
said, the average range for effective RF transmission is
up to 100 feet without a repeater. An additional 100 feet
per repeater may be obtained, with up three repeaters for
300-foot coverage (see page 11 for more detail). Please
note that installing a wireless product in a metal box is not
an optimal configuration due to the fact that the metal box
will significantly block large areas of the wireless signal
and thus impact the range of the product.

FAQs

FAQs

SWITCHES, DIMMERS, OUTLETS, AND ACCESSORIES

Q: How is system programming accomplished?

A: All programming is accomplished by simply pressing and

holding the on/off button for 5 seconds. This sends an RF
broadcast message throughout the system, which
allows devices to be bound into the desired groups and
room configurations. A full how-to video library with
step-by-step instructions can be found on our website at
www.adornemyhome.com, in the Install section.

Q: What happens in the event of a power failure?

A: adorne Wireless Lighting has a non-volatile memory,

which maintains all system setup and programming. Upon
return of power, the memory restores the lighting exactly
as it was when the power failed.

Q: What is underload and overload protection?

A: These are convenience and safety features that alert a

user (via a flashing red LED) to the fact that there is an
issue that needs to be resolved.

Q: What is underload and overload protection?

A: These are convenience and safety features that alert a

user (via a flashing red LED) to the fact that there is an
issue that needs to be resolved.

Q: When should I specify an incandescent dimmer?

A: Specify an incandescent dimmer ONLY when you have

at least 60W of line voltage incandescent loads and no
neutral wire is available in the wallbox.

Q: Are neutrals required?

A: Yes. All adorne Wireless Lighting products except the

incandescent dimmer require a neutral.

Q: Can adorne Wireless Lighting devices be clustered

together (e.g., placing all dimmers in an electrical
closet) rather than distributing the devices throughout
the application?

A: Yes. However for optimum RF performance and user

convenience (especially in residential applications), it is
recommended that the devices be distributed throughout
the application. If clustering of devices is preferred, it
is recommended that an adorne repeater (MRR2-G) be
placed approximately six feet from the devices and that
other precautions be taken. Please consult with Technical
Support prior to specifying and installing this type of
installation.

Q: What is the difference between room level scenes/scene

controllers and house level scene/scene controllers?

A: House scene controllers are typically used for creating

whole house scenes – such as setting lights throughout
the house for entertaining, or creating pathways of lights.
Room scene controllers are used for specific rooms
or areas. By specifying room scene controllers and
house scene controllers you can create a layering effect.
Functionally, house scenes are additive (piled on), while
room scenes are transitional (one scene will replace the
previous scene). However, each device can create and
recall scenes in either fashion.

Q: How can one dimmer dim practically all dimmable

loads?

A: adorne Tru-Universal dimmers incorporate a high-

performance microcontroller that actively monitors the
load’s behavior and adapts the dimmer’s operation to
match. The smooth and accurate level transitions made
by these dimmers let them control most dimmable load
types flawlessly. In addition, because the microcontroller
can be instructed to change its dimming curve, one model
is able to meet the needs of both standard and two-wire
fluorescent applications.

Q: Is it simple to handle multi-way dimming?

A: adorne dimmers provide seamless three and four

way dimming without the issues often associated with
combining dimmers and 3-way switches. The user has
exactly the same control over any dimmer, whichever
location is chosen.
