If the dimmer curve for this dimmer is a normal modified square law dimming curve, then DIMMER will appear to

dimmer to a normal modified square law dimming curve, then press the [DIMMER] soft key. If DIMMER appears
to the right of the equal sign, and you wish to change the curve of the dimmer to that of an unregulated NON-DIM
or MARK X dimmable florescent ballast, then press [MORE] until the desired dimming curve appears in the bottom
left soft key position.

The maximum level selection will keep the dimmer below the specified level for all control inputs, with the
exception of a selected NON-DIM curve, which is an unregulated NON-DIM, and will turn the dimmer on full blast
for a control level over 50%. If you wish to change the maximum level, enter a level between 01% and FL%. If you
wish to skip the max level menu, press [ENTER].
