    Hi all,

    I have a site with 2 CTC's. Programming on both is exactly the same except that one is set as the "master" & the other not.
    The problem is that when I trigger some timers, the timer status indicators on the screen from where the timers have been triggered works well, but not on the other screen & vice versa. The load status indicator follows the circuit's state though & apart from the timers I have full control from both screens.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks:cool:

    Assuming you're talking about a button which is set as a timer.. then this is normal... the timer is only running in the unit in which it was initiated. It sends an on command on the bus at the start and an off at the end, which allows the other one to follow the group state correctly.

    It's the same as if you have a key input programmed as a timer.. it will flash its indicator, however other keys on the same group only follow the group's on/off state.

    Thanks Nick,

    Is there any way around this? Using logic maybe?

    Not using the standard timer button..

    I guess you could do something like..

    - have your timers run in logic, triggered by the button press
    - change the button appearance using logic to indicate the timer is running
    - use a second lighting group to indicate whether there is a timer running (ie to keep the two touchscreens in sync)

    It's a bit clunky but it should work.
