How to disable local on-level adjustment (airgap switch)


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am having an issue with the local on-level being changed by my lovely wife :?

 

Example, I have a 6-button KPL in our baby's room. The top button is set for full on while one of the smaller buttons is set for a "night mode" which turns the lights on to a very dim level. What is happening is the lights are being turned on using the smaller button "night mode" and the bottom button is being pressed to turn the room off. When the bottom button is pressed, 9 times out of 10 the airgap switch is also being pressed which changes the top button (full-on) to the night mode level.

 

Is there a way I can disable local levels being changed via the airgap switch? I do have an ISY99i I am using to manage the system if that makes a difference.

I think you have something screwy with your switch. It should be quite challenging to push the air gap and I have never even come close to accidentally causing it to go in.

 

I would talk to SH about that.

 

Also, you might just pop your button covers off and make sure it is on straight and there isn't something in there that is pinching up against the air gap button.

I would also recommend you remove the button assembly and make sure something is not rubbing or not seated properly.

The details on removing it is in the Full Users Manual under how to change button colors or how to change six and eight button sets.

While it might seem unlikely I have had the same thing happen to a dimmer in the kitchen. I am guessing the someone hit the paddle very near the bottom and also engaged the air-gap at the same time.

This has happened twice on a dimmer in my home.

 

I do not know of a way to disable it.
