Radia Eclipse

I have a project where we have installed an RE-DM4. The functions is just to ramp up and down channels and some presets for on and off. The customer complains that there is a fixture flickering once its dimmed low. The codes were written as: (ramping up and down)
DEFINE_CONNECT_LEVEL (vdvLevels,1,tp,1,Lights,1)
DEFINE_CONNECT_LEVEL (vdvLevels,2,tp,2,Lights,2)
DEFINE_CONNECT_LEVEL (vdvLevels,3,tp,3,Lights,3)
DEFINE_CONNECT_LEVEL (vdvLevels,4,tp,4,Lights,4)
DEFINE_CONNECT_LEVEL (vdvLevels,5,tp,5,Lights,5)
DEFINE_CONNECT_LEVEL (vdvLevels,6,tp,6,Lights,6)

The question is does it need the dimmer to set it at low end value which i did not declare.

Thanks in advance...

with this code how can you integrate it by adding a MET 16 keypad...

DEFINE_CONNECT_LEVEL (vdvLevels,1,tp,1,Lights,1)
DEFINE_CONNECT_LEVEL (vdvLevels,2,tp,2,Lights,2)
DEFINE_CONNECT_LEVEL (vdvLevels,3,tp,3,Lights,3)
DEFINE_CONNECT_LEVEL (vdvLevels,4,tp,4,Lights,4)
DEFINE_CONNECT_LEVEL (vdvLevels,5,tp,5,Lights,5)
DEFINE_CONNECT_LEVEL (vdvLevels,6,tp,6,Lights,6)

Your question sorta brings up the weakness involved in using this method to operate the device. If it were me I'd avoid any of the older commands that tie devices together. any loss of device breaks the whole operation of code.

I'd suggest using dev arrays.
Hope that helps.

You might want to adjust the load's dimming curve to fix the flickering. I don't have the document handy, but there is a manual for Radia dimmers that goes into curve adjustment in detail.
