The Digi-Touch Network consists of three parts:
1. Digi-Touch Device Network Link. (DDN-Link). The rst module is a communication interface board,
the DDN-Link. The Link provides communication between a Blue Ridge Technologies Panel
Controller and the Digital Switch devices on a twisted pair network.
2. Digi-Touch Device Network Switch (DDN-SW). The second module is a Digital Switch, DDN-SW1
(single button) or DDN-SW2 (two button). Each button provides users on/off control of a lighting
group. Each contains an integral bi-color LED that illuminates red when the associated lighting
group is turned on and green when turned off.
3. Network wire.
Quick Install Summary
The summary below is followed by 2 sections containing details for each step.
Step1.
Physical Mounting and Setting Dip Switches on the Switch Modules (DDN-SW1 and DDN-SW2).
Switches are physically mounted and addressed by dip switches. A look-up table is provided for
binary dip switch settings equivalent to lighting Group decimal numbers. See section entitled,
“Physical Dimensions and Dip Switch Settings” for details.
Step2.
Network the switches for communications and power. Make all connections before applying power.
Daisy chain the switches and power supplies with a 2-pair, twisted wire daisy chain. Use 18 AWG (for
power) and twisted pair 22 AWG (for signal) or better. Use Belden 1502P or equivalent. See section,
“Network the Switches for Communications and power” for details.

Step 1 - Physical Dimensions & Dip Switch Settings (DDN-SW1)
a. Ensure proper size gang box and Decora plate for DDN-SW1.
b. If exact settings per each location have not been pre-set, set the correct dip switch address on
each module (see look-up table, Appendix A). It is helpful to use a worksheet to layout all the
switch numbers for each panel before setting addresses on the switches.
c. For SW1, set the address using the dip switches under the Decora style plate. It is not neces-
sary to remove the entire switch. Use the Appendix A table to get the binary dipswitch setting
for the decimal lighting group number
d. See example below for DDN-SW1 (1-button). Dip switch is “5” in binary. Thus the single button
controls panel group 5. The “group” refers to group assignments made in the Blue Ridge Tech-
nologies panel via Lighting Panel Programmer’s Kit (LPPK).
e. If you are also responsible for programming the lighting panels, see section entitled “LPPK
Setup for Blue Ridge Technologies Digi-Touch Switches”, Appendix B in this publication.

Step 1 - Physical Dimensions & Dip Switch Settings (DDN-SW)
a. Ensure proper size gang box and Decora plate for DDN-SW2.
b. If exact settings per each location have not been pre-set, set the correct dip switch
address on each module (see look-up table, Appendix A). It is helpful to use a work-
sheet to layout all the switch numbers for each panel before setting addresses on the
switches.
c. For DDN-SW2, when the dip switch is set for the upper button, the next lighting group
is automatically assigned to the lower button. Thus, the physical dip switch number
for the next module will typically “skip 1” as the modules are addressed along the
network. Ie, 1,3,5.... or 2,4,6....
d. Set the address using the dip switches under the Decora style plate. It is not neces-
sary to remove the entire switch. Use the Appendix A table to get the binary dipswitch
setting for the decimal lighting group number
e. See example below for DDN-SW (2-button). Dip switch is “5” in binary. Thus, upper
(closest to dip switch) button controls panel group 5 and lower button controls group
6. The “group” refers to group assignments made in the Blue Ridge Technologies
panel via Lighting Panel Programmer’s Kit (LPPK).
f. If you are also responsible for programming the lighting panels, see section entitled
“LPPK Setup for Blue Ridge Technologies Digi-Touch Switches”, Appendix B in this
publication. For each DDN-SW2, both upper and lower button numbers must be
entered in LPPK.

Installation Steps
a. Use recommended Beldon 1502P paired cable or equivalent. One pair
(18AWG 2-conductor, unshielded) is for power and one pair (22AWG
twisted pair, shielded) is for communication. Do not “star” or “T-tap”
comm wire. Daisy chain only.
b. Make all connections before applying power.
c. When the DDN-SW2 is at the end of the network, short the module’s
terminating resistor, J3.
(See Front View, previous page)
d. The controller may be used to Looppower 8 DDN-SW2 or
16 DDN-SW1 modules up to runs of 1000 ft. See step 3.
e. Additional DC power supplies may be needed for longer runs or larger
numbers of switch modules. As a general rule, the controller can Power
8 DDN-SW2s or 16 DDN-SW1s that are with in 500’ of the panel and
are connected using 18 AWG cable.
If more switches are required, a 1.2A 24VDC Power Supply (TLI part#
DDN-P5 or greater) can be added to power up to 40 DDN-SWs or 80
DDN-SW1s using 18 AWG cable.
Step 2. Network the Digi-Touch Switches
for Communications and Power
Daisy chain the Switches.
Connect Optional Relays.
Place Auxiliary Power Supplies as Needed.
Digi-Touch Input Module:
• Almost any type of 2-wire closure
• Wet / Dry
• Momentary / Maintained
• Occupany Sensor
• Hubble ATPIS00CRP
• Novitas 01- BAS300
• Sensor Switch CM9

• Spy Sensor SS-100
• Watt Stopper CI-200
Blue Ridge Technologies does not recom-
mend powering switches more than 500’
from a power supply.
