ON – turns the load on maximum brightness
briefly before dimming to the last dimmed level.
Setting the Minimum Dimming Level
|
If the preset minimum dimming level is acceptable leave the DIP switch to reset. Reset is the recommended setting for most applications.
For incandescent loads, the restrike feature should be left off and the minimum dimming level left at reset.
If the preset dimming level is too high or too low follow the following steps –
1. Turn the load on and dim to the desired
minimum level.
2. Turn off the dimmer (use the Push Button).
3. Set the DIP switch from rest to reset.
4. Turn the dimmer ON (use the Push Button). The dimmer will now be set to the desired minimum level.
To return the dimmer to the factory settings or to set the minimum dimming level again turn the DIP switch to reset.
CAUTION: adjusting the DIP switches should only be carried out by electrically trained installers.
