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
instructions below.
1. Wall Dimmer must be installed and powered properly. The connected
light should be off, and the 2 blue LEDs are on. The light must
be off in order to set the timer duration.
2. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds, the lower blue LED

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.
