4.4. Burn-in Mode
In order to maximize lamp life, new fluorescent lamps should be burnt-in (i.e. not dimmed) for the first 100 hours of operation. Organic Response provides a built-in Burn-In Mode function to make this process very simple for users. When Burn-In Mode is enabled, luminaires will not dim until they have accrued 100 hours of operation. After the 100 hours of operation has passed, Burn-In Mode is automatically disabled, and you can then optimize luminaires to take full advantage of the energy savings offered by the Organic Response system.
By default, each ResponseSN3 is shipped with Burn-In Mode disabled. This is entirely appropriate for LED luminaires, but for new fluorescent fittings, it will prolong the life of the fluorescent tube if Burn In mode is activated prior to installation.
If you are having trouble dimming a luminaire, the most likely explanation is that Burn-In Mode is enabled. If the lamp in the luminaire are still new, it is recommended that you keep this setting in order to maximize the life of the lamps. If you do want to disable Burn-In Mode, it can be disabled using the Response IR App and the Response App.
