ADVANCED PROGRAMMING
FEATURES

Set Minimum Brightness: Set the minimum brightness
level that the lights can dim to prior to turning full OFF.
Set Dim-Lock: Set the brightness level that the lights will turn on to
regardless of the previous light level at which they were turned OFF.
Set Fade Rate: Set the amount of time (in seconds) that the lights will
have to turn ON or OFF. Fade rates can be set to one of five
different settings.

To Program:

NOTE: Have a flashlight handy if this dimmer controls the only light
source in the room.

1. Gently pull the bottom of the push pad forward until the bottom of the

pad slightly lifts off the strap to engage the air-gap switch on and wait
for 5 seconds.

2. Press and hold push pad for 7 seconds until the locator light starts

blinking. The top LED (LED 1) in the brightness display will also start
to blink.

3. Upon releasing the push pad, the locator light will indicate that the

dimmer is in Set Minimum Brightness mode (Mode 1) by blinking once
per second.

4. To change the current Minimum Brightness level, use the DIM/BRIGHT

Bar to choose the level desired from 1-50%. When adjustment is
made, the setting is automatically saved. Tap the push pad and the
locator light will blink twice per second to indicate that it is now in the
Set Dim-Lock Level mode (Mode 2).

5. To change the current Dim-Lock level, use the DIM/BRIGHT Bar to

choose the level desired from 0-100%. If the Dim-Lock feature is not
desired, press and hold the down arrow until no LED is lit. When
adjustment is made, the setting is automatically saved. Tap the push
pad and the locator LED will blink three times per second to indicate that
it is now in the Set Fade Rate mode (Mode 3).

6. The LED Brightness Display is separated into 5 segments. To change

the current Fade Rate, use the DIM/BRIGHT Bar to move the LED to
the desired preset. Preset 1 is the LED closest to the top and Preset 5
is the closest to the bottom (refer to chart for settings). When the
adjustment is made, the setting is automatically saved. Tap the push
pad to exit the programming mode. If the sequence is not completed
within 3 minutes, the dimmer will return to its previous settings.
