E55-1 (TC) - E55-3 (T)	Turn the light control rheostat knob fully upwards	8 kΩ or higher
E55-3 (T) - E55-4 (RV)	Turn the light control rheostat knob fully downwards	Below 1 Ω
E55-3 (T) - E55-4 (RV)	Turn the light control rheostat knob downwards to upwards	The value changes gradually (Between below 1 to 8 kΩ)
E55-3 (T) - E55-4 (RV)	Turn the light control rheostat knob fully upwards	8 to 12 kΩ

HINT:

If the value is not as specified, replace the light control rheostat.
