Abstract
A setting device used in an illumination control system to realize a separate control, a group control, and a pattern control is disclosed. The object of the present invention is to enable a setting operation to be performed easily, and to prevent missing. In connection with the switch arranged on a wall side, the setting device sets a separate address of the separate control, a group number of the group control, and a pattern number of the pattern control by using an infrared ray communication. On the other hand, the corresponding relationships between each switch and the relay controlling the load actually is established by mounting the setting device on the operation terminal, and connecting it to the transmission unit via the communication line. Accordingly, it is possible to perform a setting operation easily by performing two kinds of setting as one pair. Further, missing can be prevented by mounting the movable setting device on the operation terminal arranged on the wall side.
