Abstract:
1. A method of configuring a keypad of a load control system to have first and second button configurations, the keypad comprising a plurality of switches, the method comprising the steps of: mechanically coupling to the keypad a button assembly having first and second button configurations, each button configuration defining a number and arrangement of buttons on the button assembly; simultaneously actuating a first button and a second button of the first button configuration to actuate at least two of the switches of the keypad for a predetermined amount of time; the keypad detecting that the first button and the second button have been actuated for the predetermined amount of time; the keypad subsequently storing in a memory a first keypad data representing the first button configuration dependent upon which tactile switches were actuated when the first and second buttons were actuated for the predetermined amount of time; simultaneously actuating a third button and a fourth button of the second button configuration to actuate at least two other switches of the keypad for the predetermined amount of time after a keypad has stored the first keypad data representing the first button configuration in the memory; the keypad detecting that the third button and the fourth button have been actuated for the predetermined amount of time; and the keypad subsequently storing in the memory a second keypad data representing the second button configuration dependent upon which tactile switches were actuated when the third and fourth buttons were actuated for the predetermined amount of time.
