Setup Functions - Rotary Dimmer/Switch

D: Setting the Kick Start Feature
The ‘kick-start’ feature is only required to be enabled when dimming loads such as compact fluorescent lamps. These
lamps require the dimmer output to be set to 50% for 0.2 of a second when the lamp is turned on. This ensures the
lamp strikes successfully. The result is a short bright ‘blink’ when a compact florescent lamp turns on.
As the bright blink caused by the kick start feature can be undesirable for the user, it is highly recommended that
this feature remains disabled (the default) when using LED’s and other light sources which do not require the kick-
start to operate.
By default Kick Start Mode is
disabled
