LCD Display Passwords and Security
Setting a password and locking the LCD menus prevents unwanted changes to system or dimmer operational settings.
Status information (of the LED Raceway system and individual dimmers) can still be viewed through the menu status
screens.
eS21 LED Raceways are shipped without an established password. Users must set their own password (four-digit
number) before the LCD menu options can be locked. When setting a password, write it down and keep it in a secure
location. Note, Strand Lighting does not have records of passwords established by users or owners.
Setting or Changing a Password
Step 1. From LCD Display
MAIN MENU
, scroll to
MENU CONFIGURATION
(
MENU CONFIG
) screen.
Step 2. At
MENU CONFIG
, select "Set New Password"
Step 3. Using Up [

] / Right [
X
] arrow buttons, set each "#" to establish a four-digit
password.
Step 4. When each "#" sign has been assigned a number, hit [Enter] (center button on display). If you hit [ESC]
(Escape) password will not be stored and process must be repeated.
Step 5. Password is set. After 15 minutes of inactivity (no menu button presses), the LCD menu will go into locked
mode (changes cannot be made to menu options unless the password is entered).
Step 6. To force the LCD Display into lock mode, please see
"Lock System Now (forcing the LCD menus into lock
mode)"

viewed in locked mode).
4. IGBT Dimmer Load Types
General
eS21 dimmers are designed to operate a wide variety of lighting loads of up to their rated capacity. The range of load
types which may be connected includes incandescent lamps, and a number of "well-behaved" inductive loads such as
low-voltage (step-down transformer) fixtures, fluorescent lamps, and most types of small motors used in special
effects equipment such as wind or fog machines.
WARNING!
eS21 dimmers are not designed to drive large motor loads (3 Amps or greater), or motors with start-up
capacitors. Attempting to drive such loads may damage the dimming electronics or dimmer.
Low-Voltage Fixtures
When operating low-voltage type fixtures, observe the following precautions: If the fixture has a conventional
magnetic transformer, be sure it has internal fusing and is approved for dimming by its manufacturer. Load the
dimmer to only 80% of its capacity (i.e., 960VA for a 1.2KW dimmer) to compensate for losses in the transformer. If
the fixture has an "electronic transformer", make sure it is approved for dimming by its manufacturer.
Neon Fixtures
Neon fixtures and signs can be particularly difficult to dim as they tend to reflect back nearly all of the energy which
is applied to them. For best results with neon, a dimmer should be loaded to no more than 50% of its capacity (i.e.,
600VA for a 1.2KW dimmer), should be configured for Forward Phase Control operation, and should have an
