Dimmer Curves

There are three available dimmer curves that can be set on the dimmer. These curves can only be set
through the RDM interface.

• ETC Modified Square - A more uniform response to control level changes. This is set as the

default curve.

• Preheat - Same as Modified Square but allows for a minimum level to be set to the curve to

maintain a warm lamp, reduce inrush and lengthen lamp life.

• Linear - matches control level increase to dimmer voltage 1:1.
