    Misc Kessil notes

    Quick setup for Kessil:

    1. Kessil lights require 2 variable speed ports. The Kessil cable handles this or you can DIY something (see DIY forum).
    2. Varspd port 1 controls the color spectrum, 20% - 100%, Blue to White
    3. Varspd port 2 controls the intensity, OFF, 12% - 100%. Anything below 12% will turn the lights OFF. You do not need to turn the 110vac - 48vdc power supply off, in fact you don't even need to plug it into an EB8.
    4. You can daisy chain multiple Kessil's together using either Kessil's cable or get one from Radio Shack (see DIY forum).

    Programming:

    1. Create different profiles for intensity and spectrum using type = RAMP.
    2. If Start and End are different, use a duration to ramp. If Start and End are the same, a duration of 1 minute is fine. The lights will stay at the End setting until another program statement changes them.
    3. Spectrum goes BLUE to WHITE, 20% to 100%
    4. Create multiple profiles for use during the day to vary intensity and/or spectrum. Simply reference via 'If Time...' statements.

    [profile rampup] for intensity
    Duration: 60
    Start: 12
    End: 100

    [profile rampdn] for intensity
    Duration: 60
    Start: 100
    End: 10

    [profile deepblue] for spectrum
    Duration: 1
    Start: 20
    End: 20

    Program for Varspd1 (Spectrum)
    If Time 08:00 to 21:00 Then deepblue

    Program for Varspd2 (Intensity)
    If Time 08:00 to 09:00 then rampup
    If Time 20:00 to 21:00 then rampdn
