18.20 Setting Channels to Always Have a Back - Ground

Intensity - Preheat

Some lamps with large filaments (such as aircraft landing lights) are slow to turn
on. The turn on response of such lamps can be improved by maintaining a small
voltage to them which warms the filament.

18.21 To Set Channels to Preheat the Filament:

Press the Setup button to open the Setup menu.

Move the cursor to the UTIL (Utilities) field.

Press the

(On) button to open the Set Utilities menu.

Move the cursor to the HEAT (Preheat) field.

Press the

(On) button to open the Setup Preheat menu.

Move the cursor to the DIM# field.

Set a start dimmer number.

Move the cursor to the THRU (Through) field and set the end dimmer
number.

TIP:

If you just want to set one dimmer, leave this field the same as the DIM# field.

Move the cursor to the AT field.

Set it in the range 1 - 10%.

Repeat steps from to for any other dimmers or groups of dimmers.

Press Exit to close this menu (press Exit twice to return to the standard
screen).

Diagram 18B

TIP:

Setting preheat to 5% for example, will cause the dimmer to output about 10
volts.

Setting preheat to around 2% usually does not cause any visible glow.
