2. Test switch latched on for i series Quad dimmers. If the Quad circuit you wish to control is
activated by the latching test switch on the dimmer module itself, then the FORCE dimmer
menu will not be able to control this dimmer.
With these functions, one can quickly step through all the dimmers in the rack, or set a specific dimmer to a
specific control level. To exit the FORCE dimmer menu, press [BACK] while the cursor is flashing on the
most significant dimmer slot # digit. The active forced dimmer will return to it’s normal control level. Un-
plugging the hand-held will also return the forced dimmer back to its normal control level.
3.7 i series e HHT – Local Mode – Dimmer Profile Editing
To edit any of the setting on a per-dimmer slot basis, from the dimmer view screen, you follow the following
procedure:
1. From the dimmer view screen, press the (EDIT) softkey.
2. Review the help message, and press any key to continue
3. Enter the setup code/password as requested
4. You now will be in the edit dimmer slot screen, editing dimmer slot #1.
5. Make all desired changes per the information below
6. Press (BACK) to initiate the process of saving changes
7. You will be asked if you want to save all changes to the backplane. You have the following
choices:
a. [YES] , all the custom patch data you created in RAM will be written to the EEPROM
on the backplane, which will keep the custom patch you created forever.
b. [NO], then the changes you made stay in RAM and are available as long as the
control module remains powered up, but as soon as the control module is powered
down, the changes are lost. Powering up the module will automatically load in the
saved custom patch configuration from the EEPROM on the backplane. If you
accidentally entered [NO] when you really meant to enter [YES], then just press
[EDIT] again to get into the edit menu, then [BACK] again to exit the edit menu, and
this time press [YES]. The hand held screen will note that it is saving the changes.
When editing dimmers, you have the following options:
To edit a different dimmer slot, enter the number into the DIM # field

Pressing the NEXT soft key will scroll through changes to the NORMAL soft key as follows:
NORMAL – standard square-law incandescent dimmer curve with fully-adjustable min and max level. Max at
0 locks the dimmer off. Min at FL locks the dimmer on. Max and min equal parks the dimmer at that level. Min
above max parks the dimmer at the min value.
NONDIM – full on/full off function with fully-adjustable cutoff (switch) point. Setting to 0% locks the circuit
on. This feature is a full-on function with no voltage regulation.
