ADVANCED PROGRAMMING FEATURES

Set Minimum Brightness: Set the minimum brightness level that
the lights can dim to prior to turning full OFF.

NOTE: Burn in lamps at full intensity for 100 hours prior to adjusting
this level as well as let them cool for at least 2 hours.

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.
