Each Rako dimmer (or channel in a RAK system) remembers four different level settings for each of the 4 possible lighting Scenes or Moods. When a button is pressed on a Rako wall-panel the message is transmitted via a coded Radio signal to the dimmer/receivers. Each dimmer then fades to the setting assigned for that button.
Scene Button | Dimmer 1 Wall Lights | Dimmer 2 Downnlights | Dimmer 3 Pendant | Dimmer 4 Uplight |
1 | 100% | 60% | 100% | OFF |
2 | 70% | 20% | 50% | 100% |
3 | 100% | 10% | 30% | 60% |
4 | 40% | 15% | 40% | 30% |
OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF |
When button two is pressed in the above example the lights in the room will cross fade to a setting with the wall-lights at 70% the downlighters at 20% the pendant at 50% and the uplight at 100%. This might be, for example, the setting that is best for viewing TV. Other scenes could be for reading, general use and relaxing late at night with a glass of wine!
Once a scene has been recalled its overall level can be adjusted using the raise/lower buttons. This is a temporary adjustment, the permanent scene levels are set by programming from the wall-panels, or by using the Rako software.
