26 Sensor+ CEM+ User/Config Manual
Set Dimmer Name [User]
The Set Name menu allows you to name a dimmer. Names are alphanumeric and can be up to 20
characters long (not all 20 characters may be visible on the LCD).
Set Module Type [Power]
The Set Module Type menu allows you to set a dimmer or range of dimmers to a specific module type
and firing mode. If the module is set to “Fluorescent”, you also set the threshold in this menu.
Threshold is the control level that must be present for the fluorescent dimmer to output voltage based
on the selected curve.
Pos (Position) [Power]
This is a display only field. It lists the position of each circuit within a rack.
Set Firing Mode [Power]
The Set Firing Mode menu allows you to set a dimmer or a range of dimmers to a specific firing mode.
Available modes include Normal, Off, Switched, Fluorescent and DD (Dimmer Doubled).
• Off: turns the dimmer off.
• Normal: operates as a standard incandescent dimmer.
• Switched: dimmers output unregulated AC voltage when the control level is above the threshold
level.
• DD (Dimmer Doubled): dimmer operates as two controllable circuits. See
Dimmer Doubling (60Hz
systems only)

.
Set Curve [User]
The Set Curve menu allows you to set a dimmer or a range of dimmers to a specific curve. A dimmer
curve is a mathematical function that maps control levels to RMS output voltage. Curves are scaled
from the minimum voltage to the maximum voltage (settings that are not available to the User login).
The CEM+ supports the following curves: Square, Mod Square, Linear, Mod Linear, Sensor 2.0. See
Dimmer Curves
on
page 73
for more information.
Set Threshold [Power]
The Set Threshold menu allows you to set a dimmer or a range of dimmers to come on at a specific
intensity level.
Set Min Scale Voltage [Power]
The Min Scale Voltage menu allows you to set a dimmer or a range of dimmers to a minimum output
voltage that is the bottom (1% control) of the scaled output of that dimmer.
Set Max Scale Voltage [Power]
The Max Scale Voltage menu allows you to set a dimmer or a range of dimmers to a maximum output
voltage that is the top (100% control) of the scaled output of that dimmer.
Voltage Regulation [Power]
When enabled, the dimmer will regulate to the desired output voltage. When disabled, the dimmer will
be set to a constant firing time based on the control level. This setting defaults “on”. The ability to
disable regulation is sometimes useful when dimming non-tungsten loads.
Preheat [Power]
This setting enables/disables preheat for the selected dimmer. The preheat level is the Minimum Scale
Voltage.
Note:
Changing the dimmer firing mode will cause a change to default settings for curve,
minimum voltage, maximum voltage, threshold and regulation. Whenever a dimmer
mode is set the defaults for that mode will be applied to the other dimmer properties.
