Set Low-End Trim and High-End Trim (Optional)

For best results, minimize the amount of sunlight entering the room before performing the
following procedures.

Notes
Depending on the fixture manufacturer or load, low-end trim and high-end trim may

need to be adjusted.

• Trim low-end to ensure a stable light level because some loads will flicker or drop out
if trimmed too low.

• Be sure that you can turn on the lights to the low-end trim level without any abnormal
operation.

• The factory default high-end trim is suitable for most applications but can be adjusted
as desired.

Low-End Trim

A

Enter low-end trim adjustment mode:
Press and hold the Lower button “Δ” on the fixture control for 12 seconds.
The lights will flash and the load status LED will begin flashing.

B

Use the Raise button “▲” and Lower button “Δ” on the fixture control to adjust and set the lights

to the desired low-end (1 to 45%).

C

Save the low-end trim:
Press and hold the Toggle button “ u” for 6seconds to save setting.
The load status LED will begin flashing and then turn solid to indicate new level has been saved.

High-End Trim

A

Enter high-end trim adjustment mode:
Press and hold the Raise button “▲” on the fixture control for 12seconds.

The lights will flash and the load status LED will flash.
