D: Setting the Kick Start Feature 
The ‘kick-start’ feature is only required to be enabled when dimming loads such as compact fluorescent lamps. These 
lamps require the dimmer output to be set to 50% for 0.2 of a second when the lamp is turned on. This ensures the 
lamp strikes successfully. The result is a short bright ‘blink’ when a compact florescent lamp turns on.  
As the bright blink caused by the kick start feature can be undesirable for the user, it is highly recommended that 
this feature remains disabled (the default) when using LED’s and other light sources which do not require the kick-
start to operate. 
By default Kick Start Mode is disabled. To enable Kick Start Mode, follow the steps below. 
Enter into the dimmer Setup Mode - See PART A 
Click the dimmer rotary shaft four times 
If Kick start is currently Disabled, lamp(s) connected to the dimmer will now turn OFF 
 
If Kick start is currently Enabled, lamp(s) connected to the dimmer will now turn ON 
 
Note: To cancel/exit do nothing for 30 seconds 
 
Note: If more than one dimmer is connected to the same load, all dimmers connected 
to this load will now blink 4 times 
To Enable Kick Start Mode 
Adjust the dial Clockwise until lamp(s) turn ON 
 
To Disable Kick Start Mode (Default) 
Adjust dial Anti-Clockwise until lamp(s) turn OFF 
 
Note: To cancel/exit do nothing for 30 seconds 
Click once to save & exit 
 
Note: If more than one LEDsmart+device is connected in parallel, the minimum 
brightness levels only needs to be set in one device. The setting is automatically saved 
to all other devices connected in parallel
