dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch. Before applying
power, check that the source voltage matches the product’s requirement.
Check the product or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection
switch exists that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Warning! If applicable, verify that the power select switch on your unit matches the line
voltage applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth
Ground.
