FAQs
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.

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: 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: 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: 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.
