to the dimmer. For example: touch the slider 30% along its surface; the brightness
is set to 30%; on the other hand, touch the slider at 0% along its surface to set the
brightness to 0%, etc.
• Sliding your finger along the slider (in either direction): sends a series of com-
mands to the dimmer which dynamically adjusts the brightness. Sliding your fin-
ger on the slider surface sends relative positioning commands; i.e., regardless of
where you start, the brightness is increased/decreased from its initial value until
you stop touching the surface. This means that you can adjust the brightness from
its minimum value (as given in Table A) to its maximum value, and not from 0% to
100%. You may need to slide your finger along the slider surface more than once
to completely adjust the brightness from minimum to maximum.
• If the lamp is already set to maximum brightness, attempting to increase its setting
will have no effect.
• If the lamp is already set to minimum brightness, attempting to decrease its setting
will have no effect.
• On some Era P slider models (e.g.: P6V, P6SV, etc.), before sending a command
you must select the target dimmer by pressing the button for the channel on which
the dimmer in question has been memorized.
• After sending a command, before you can send another you must wait for the led
to go out: if you do not do so, the lamp may respond unpredictably.
• Touching the slider for a long time sets the transmitter to standby mode. To reacti-
vate it just press the slider surface again, or press another button.

MEMORIZING TRANSMITTERS
6.1 - Standard and custom memorization procedures
All transmitter memorization procedures fall into two alternative groups: procedures
which memorize the units in standard mode, called "Mode I procedures", and
those which memorize them in custom mode, called "Mode II procedures".
6.1.1 - MODE I procedures
Procedures of this type automatically assign the three dimmer commands to the
first three buttons on the transmitter (any other buttons are not programmed), in line
with the unit's factory setting (not modifiable by the installer). At the end of a Mode I
procedure, the transmitter will be configured as follows:
– button s (or button 1): "Dimmer Up".
– button n (or button 2): "Toggle".
– button t (or button 3): "Dimmer Down", if present.
– button 4 (and others): if present, no function.
N.B.: – if you transmitter's buttons are not marked with symbols or numbers, refer

When using the transmitter, the buttons have the following functions:
• Dimmer Up:
– briefly press the button (less than 1 second) to increase the brightness slightly, if it
is not already at the maximum setting;
– hold down the button (more than 1 second) to continuously increase the bright-
ness up to the desired setting (release the button) or the maximum.
• Toggle:
– every time you press the button, the dimmer turns the lamp on or off. The bright-
ness when the lamp is turned on is that last set on the dimmer. This value is stored
by the dimmer whenever the lamp is switched off (i.e. the brightness of the lamp
when switched off) and in any case whenever 60 seconds have passed since the
Max.
