1. Arrow keys: These keys change values of output voltage (in percentage) 2. Channels: This specifies which channel is being dealt with. Note that the buttons are duplicated since each one is dedicated to each channel separately. 3. Display: Both values of voltage and parameters are displayed here. 4.
4 USING THE RLD DIGITAL The following sections detail how to use the RLD. After setting the parameters, RLD automatically backs them up. In cases when the power shuts down and goes back on, the controller continues operating as in its last saved state. •...

6.2.2 Using a Communication Card 1. Connect the RLD to an RCLP card. NOTE: Verify that parameter "ch" is set to "1 - 8" (refer to System Parameter 2 – Channel, page 10). 2. Configure the channels. There are two numbering options: Different numbers to each channel, with up to 8 different channels (when using multiple RLD units).
7 TROUBLESHOOTING CAUTION To ensure proper Light Dimmer operation, do not connect any inductive devices to the output (for example transformers, reactors, chokes). Problem Description Troubleshooting 1. Check the power. 2. Check the main fuse F3 and F1 (when When Power is connected the seven- working with 230 VAC).
