1. A load control device comprising
a device that has a plurality of operation modes depending on applications and is electrically connected to a load, wherein
the device includes an operation mode determination circuit and a terminal for setting a tentative operation mode, and
the operation mode determination circuit is configured to:
set, based on a voltage of the terminal, the tentative operation mode indicating the operation mode before determination;
obtain operation mode information regarding the operation mode via communication, the operation mode information including an error detection code for detecting an error of the tentative operation mode;
determine whether or not a setting result of the tentative operation mode is correct using the error detection code; and
determine the operation mode of the device based on a determination result.
