3. PROGRAMMINGTRANSMITTERSSENSORS

There are 3 operating modes with the :

In order to operate the remotely with a transmitter or sensor,

it must be programmed to the . Each module can be operated

by up to 8 different transmitters (or 8 different command signals).

1) Regular Mode - When a valid signal is received, it will turn on or off the

light, or change the brightness of the light.

2) Flashing Alert Mode - When a valid signal is received, the light will flash

for a specific period of time, which is the time defined in the timer duration.

This works as an alert indication.

3) Countdown Timer Mode - When a valid signal is received, the light will

be on for a specific period of time, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes,

30 minutes, or 60 minutes. This is mainly for energy saving.

4.SETTIMERDURATION

This section is for transmitters that are programmed for Flashing Alert

Mode and Countdown Timer Mode.

The timer for both Flashing Alert Mode and Countdown Timer Mode can

be set to the following duration, meaning the light will stay on for the

following time: 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.

Only one timer interval can be set. To set the timer duration, follow the

If a Countdown Timer Mode transmitter or sensor is activated, the light

connected to the Wall Dimmer will be on for the predetermined time interval.

During the timer count down, the upper blue LED on the Wall Dimmer will

be on steadily, the lower blue LED will start to flash during the last minute

of the countdown timer. Activating a programmed transmitter or sensor

under Regular Mode or Flashing Alert Mode during timer interval can over-

ride the countdown timer operation.
