Instead of to use the E1 terminal you can use one fan output so you can turn on/off and dim the led light

Hi Mirco, the guide above has been fixed to say H1 Terminal, which you can also turn on/off and dim the led light. We use H1 as it is a screw terminal so doesn’t require a crimped wire. Ryan

Hi Pete.

M42 P2 S1 turns ON the led

M42 P2 S0 turns OFF the led

M42 P2 S0.5 dims the led at 50%

M42 P2 S0.7 dims the led at 70%
