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.

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
