ATI Lighting: How to Program a Dimmable Sunpower

Congratulations on your new Dimmable Sunpower!  Let’s get started getting your fixture up and running.

Before Programming

1. Plug Your Light into Permanent Outlet or Give It Time to Charge: Plug your light fixture into the same outlet that will be used long term. The reason being is that if you unplug it without giving it time to charge, you will lose your program when moving the fixture to its long term home. Alternatively, keep the fixture plugged into an outlet for at least 24 hours to allow it time to charge it’s internal battery.
2. Burn-In Your T5 Bulbs: Another important aspect to programming your Dimmable Sunpower is properly burning in or seasoning your bulbs prior to any dimming. Failure to do so may result in premature failure of your bulbs. Read more about how to properly burn-in / season your bulbs here.

Ok! Now that we have it plugged into the proper outlet and we know we need to season our bulbs, let’s get started programming our fixture…

Programming Channel 1:

Points to Consider Prior to Programming:

1. Each channel needs a minimum of 4 set points, however you do not have to use all 10 set points
2. Your first set point must be set to ON
3. Your last set point must be set to OFF
4. Your last set point must be before midnight (i.e. no later than 23:59)
5. Set points behave like they are on a line graph and automatically adjust from one set point to the next
6. If you want a linear slope of increasing or decreasing intensity, you only need to set the beginning and end intensities.
7. If you wish to maintain the same intensity throughout a given period of time, you will need to book-end. For example:
   • 0800 – ON
   • 0900 – 100%
   • 1900 – 100%
   • 2000 – OFF

How to Program:

1. Press the Center button, followed by pressing the Bottom button 2 times to display “Settings / Channel 1”

3. Use the Top and Bottom buttons to adjust the start time in hours for set point 01
4. Use the Right button to select the time in minutes for set point 01
5. Use the Top and Bottom buttons to adjust the start time in minutes for set point 01
6. Use the Right button to select the intensity for set point 01
7. Use the Top and Bottom buttons to adjust the starting intensity for set point 01
8. Use the Left button to navigate back to set point 01, then press the bottom button to go to set point 02
9. Repeat steps 2 through 8 until all desired data points are entered. (Remember you do not need to use all of them.)
10. Once the set points are complete, use the Center button to exit, then press the Right button to confirm Save? “Yes”
