136 -Inside the right junction box will be at least two flying leads for the 0-10V dimming output. The grey lead is for the negative output. Depending on the module, there will be one or more violet leads for the positive output. Each lead will be labeled "DIM OUT #" to indicate which output they correspond to. These leads should be wire nutted or lever nutted with the wiring to the fixtures. The leads should disconnected from the fixtures during troubleshooting.
137 -
138 -There are no manual controls on the GLPP that allow for dimming the output. GLPPs can only be dimmed through the lighting UI or with the use of a GLPPA-REMOTE-PROG programming remote. If using a remote to dim the outputs, the remote must have line of site with the IR receiver on the front of the GLPP. The GLPP remote has four columns of buttons; columns 1 through 3 contain separate ON/OFF, raise, and lower buttons for individual outputs. The fourth column contains these same buttons, but will control all outputs simultaneously.
139 -
140 -One common source of dimming issues with multi-channel GLPPs is mixing up the switched outputs and the dimming outputs; fixtures should have their 0-10V dimming connected to the dimming output associated with the switched output that controls them.
