In order to operate the remotely with a transmitter or sensor,
it must be programmed to the . Each module can be operated
Wall Dimmer
Wall Dimmer
by up to 8 different transmitters (or 8 different command signals).
There are 3 operating modes with the :
Wall Dimmer
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.
You can program multiple buttons/transmitters / sensors to the module
and different button/transmitter / sensor can activate a different mode.
To program a TC series transmitter into the Wall Switch Dimmer
under regular mode

4. SET TIMER DURATION
As mentioned, the timer can be set to the following durations, 1 minute,
5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.
This timer duration is used for both under Flashing Alert Operating Mode
and Countdown Timer Operating Mode.
There is only one timer setting, so all transmitters that are programmed
for timer mode and flashing mode will have the same timer duration. To
set the timer duration, follow the instructions below:

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
flashes once. The number of flashes indicates the timer duration:
Number of Flashes
1
2
3
4
5
3. Continue to hold the SET button until it reaches the desired setting. The
status will change every 6 seconds, i.e. hold the SET button for another
6 seconds, you will see the number of flashes changes from 1 to 2, 2 to
3, etc.
Note: Once the number of flashes reaches 5, it will stay at this setting. If
you would like to go back to other settings, such as 1 minute, release the
button and repeat from step 1 to start over.
Once a transmitter (button) is programmed for timer mode or flashing
mode, activating this programmed transmitter (button) will turn on the
light for the specified timer duration.

1. Turn on the light by the programmed transmitter or touch pad.
2. Press and hold the button on the transmitter that is programmed to
the Wall Dimmer for 10 seconds
with your finger.
3. The light will flash. If it flashes once, that means it is in On / Off Mode.
If it flashes twice, that means it is in Dimming Mode.
4. Repeating step 2 above will toggle the setting between On / Off Mode
and Dimming Mode.
5.1 ON / OFF operation:
Use the Wall Dimmer
To turn on / off the light, simply tap the touch pad of the wall dimmer
once with your finger, it will toggle the status of the light, i.e. from on to
off or from off to on.
Use a Transmitter
Wall Dimmer allows on / off operation, when the programmed button is
pressed, it will transmit a signal to toggle the status of the load.
For example, if a toggle signal is received when the light is off, that signal
will turn on the light.
If you have a deluxe remote, you can make sure that you will actually turn
on a light by pressing [ ] first, then the programmed button. Similarly,
you can make sure that you will turn off a light by pressing [ ] first, then
the programmed button.
If you have a deluxe remote and you press [ ], all those receivers to
which the remote is programmed will turn on their loads. If you press
[ ], all those receivers to which the remote is programmed will turn
off their loads.
5.2 Brightness control operation:
Besides turning on and off the light, you may also control the brightness
of the light if the light bulb is either incandescent light or dimmable compact
fluorescent light.
Use the Wall Switch
Turn on the light first. Then keep touching the touch pad to change the
brightness. Remove your finger from the touch pad until the desired
brightness is reached. To change the the opposite way,
remove your finger from the touch pad and then keep touching
remove the finger from the touch pad until the desired brightness is reached.
Use a Transmitter
First turn on the light.
Then press and hold the programmed button on the transmitter to change
the brightness. Hold the button until the desired brightness is reached, then
release the button.
Press and hold the same button again on the transmitter to change the
brightness again in the opposite way. When the desired brightness is
reached, release the button.
Note: Press and hold for more than 10 seconds will toggle the mode
between ON/OFF and Dimming.

During a timer count down, if the Wall Dimmer receives another signal for
timer operation, the timer will start again and overrides the previous timer,
therefore, extending the On period by another timer interval.
To stop timer count down, press a programmed button for regular mode.
5. REGULAR OPERATING MODE
The Wall Dimmer can control the light in 2 different operating modes:
1) On / Off Mode - Allows operating the light either on or off, without
dimming function.
2) Dimming Mode - Allows operating the light in on, off or dimming
(dim / brighten). Light source must be either incandescent light
or dimmable compact fluorescent light.
The factory default operating mode is On/Off mode. However, if your
light is dimmable, you may change the operating mode to Dimming
Mode. To change the operating modes, please follow the instructions
below:
