Warning: Place the mode rotary switch on one of the following positions: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7. The electronic transformer must be short-circuit and thermal protected. Make sure to always connect a lamp on the transformer (an unloaded transformer has an inductive behaviour and could damage the dimmer). This dimmer is not suited for toroidal transformers. Troubleshooting: The dimmer module features a non-resettable fuse which will melt in case of a short-circuit or overload. In this case, return the dimmer to the manufacturer for repair. If the lamp does not go out due to an external cause (even after switching off and on the mains), the control transistor will probably be faulty. In this case, return the dimmer to the manufacturer for repair. OW-VOTAGE COECTIO: Connect the CC (mind the polarity) to the module. Make sure to use a heavier wire gauge (1mm 2 ) with long connections. The dimmer module can be controlled via push buttons which are directly connected to the push button input by using the VE or a combination of both possibilities.

After the set time has elapsed, the lamp will be turned off. Operating the push button while the lamp is on will switch off the lamp immediately. 1 or *9 Staircase lighting timer Operating the push button will turn the lamp on. After the set time has elapsed, the lamp will gradually turn off and will be completely switched off after 30 seconds. Operating the push button while the lamp is on will restart the timer. 2 or *A Dimmer A short press will turn on the lamp to full intensity. A short press while the lamp is on will switch off the lamp. A long press will dim the lamp until the maximum or the minimum is reached. A next operation will reverse the dimming direction. After the set time has elapsed, the lamp will turn off. 3 or *B Dimmer with memory function A short press will turn on the lamp at the intensity which was last used. A short press while the lamp is on will switch off the lamp. A long press will dim the lamp until the maximum or the minimum is reached. A next operation will reverse the dimming direction. After the set time has elapsed, the lamp will turn off. 9
4 or *C Multi-position dimmer Operating the push button will turn on the lamp to full intensity. Each time the push button is pressed within 5 seconds after the previous operation the light intensity will modify with 25%. If the lamp is on and the previous operation happened more than 5 seconds ago, the lamp will turn off. After the set time has elapsed, the lamp will turn off. 5 or *D Slow-on dimmer Operating the push button will turn on the lamp gradually. The time needed for the lamp to burn at full intensity depends on the rotating switch used to determine the time setting. Operating the push button while the lamp is on will switch off the lamp immediately. 6 or *E Slow-off dimmer Operating the push button will turn on the immediately to full intensity. Operating the push button while the lamp is burning at full intensity will turn off the lamp gradually. The time needed for the lamp to turn off completely depends on the rotating switch used to determine the time setting. Operating the push button while the lamp turns off gradually will immediately turn on the lamp to full intensity. 7 or *F Slow on/off dimmer Operating the push button will turn on the lamp gradually. Operating the push button while the lamp is on will turn off the lamp gradually. The time needed for the lamp to turn on or off depends on the rotating switch used to determine the time setting. * Modes 8 up to F are used with inductive loads (wound transformer). Remarks: If the rotary switch of the time setting is set on 0, the dimmer module will always operate in moment control regardless of the set operation mode. In other words, the lamp will burn as long as the push button is being controlled. If the rotating switch of the time setting is set on F, the dimmer module will not switch off automatically or the dimming speed will be at its peak when the dimmer module is set on slow-on, slow-off or slow on/off mode. Operation: The dimmer module can be operated in different ways: Using push buttons turning on the lamp to full intensity. Using push buttons switching off the lamp. Using push buttons turning on the lamp to full intensity or turning off the lamp. Using push buttons activating the set operation mode. The mode and time setting will influence the dimmer module only when using these push buttons (see operation mode and time setting table). Using push buttons increasing the lamp s intensity. o A short press will turn on the lamp to full intensity (a short press with the dimmer with memory function will, in case the lamp is off, turn on the lamp at the intensity which was last used). o A long press will increase the lamp s intensity until the push button is released. Using push buttons decreasing the lamp s intensity. o A short press will immediately switch off the lamp. o A long press will decrease the lamp s intensity until the push button is released. Using push buttons turning on the lamp to a specific light intensity (atmosphere). Using push buttons turning on the lamp on the desired intensity. 10
ED indication: The control module EDs and the operation mode ED on the dimmer module indicate the status of the dimmer: The ED will burn if the lamp does not light up. The ED will burn if the lamp burns at a stable light intensity. The ED blinks rapidly as long as the lamp s light intensity is modifying. The ED blinks slowly when the switch-off delay is running. The ED blinks very rapidly if the dimmer module is set in learning mode. earning mode: You can learn up to 16 different push buttons per control group. Set the module address on: Address earning F1 Push buttons switching off the lamp E1 Push buttons turning on the lamp to full intensity D1 Push buttons turning on the lamp to full intensity or turning the lamp off C1 Push buttons activating the set operation mode B1 Push buttons increasing the lamp s intensity A1 Push buttons decreasing the lamp s intensity 91 Push buttons turning on the lamp to a specific light intensity (atmosphere) 81 amp s light intensity for corresponding atmosphere push buttons The lamp will be switched off and the operation mode ED will blink very rapidly to indicate the learning mode. The push button EDs which are saved in the non-volatile memory will also blink very rapidly. In this way it is possible to see which push buttons for the corresponding group have already been learned. You can add a specific push button by maintaining it pressed until the lamp lights up. When releasing the push button the lamp will switch off and the push button indication ED will blink very rapidly as a confirmation. If this does not work then the maximum amount of push buttons has been reached. To delete a learned push button, maintain it pressed. When releasing the push button the indication ED will be turned off. You can delete all learned push buttons for a specific control group by maintaining the manual control on the dimmer module pressed until the lamp lights up. When releasing the manual control push button the lamp and the indication EDs of all corresponding push buttons will turn off. To learn a light atmosphere set the dimmer module on address 81. The EDs of the push buttons creating atmospheric light will blink rapidly. To assign a specific light intensity to an atmosphere push button, operate the corresponding push button until the desired light intensity has been reached. To set all learned atmospheric setting to full intensity, maintain the manual control on the dimmer module until the lamp burns at full intensity. When releasing the manual control push button the lamp and the indication EDs of all corresponding push buttons will turn off. To learn sliders set the learn address on C1. The slider will be controlled until the lamp lights and the corresponding ED blinks rapidly. Erase a learnt slider by controlling the slider until the indication ED turns out. Quit the learning mode by resetting the dimmer module s original address. 11
