Operation- and
Assembly Instructions
1 Safety instructions
Electrical equipment may only be installed and fitted by electrically skilled persons.
Failure to observe the instructions may cause damage to the device and result in fire and
other hazards.
Danger of electric shock. Always disconnect before carrying out work on the devise or
load. At the same time, take into account all circuit breakers that supply dangerous
voltage to the device or load.
Danger of electric shock. Device is not suitable for disconnection from supply voltage.
The load is not electrically isolated from the mains even when the device is switched off.
Fire hazard. For operation with inductive transformers, each transformer must be fused
on the primary side in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Only safety
transformers according to EN 61558-2-6 may be used.
Do not connect any electronic lamps, e.g. switchable or dimmable compact fluorescent
lamps or LED lamps. Device can be damaged.
These instructions are an integral part of the product, and must remain with the end
customer.

i Flickering of the connected lamps due to undershoot of the specified minimum load or
through centralised pulses from the power stations. This does not represent any defect in
the device.
i Brief flickering upon load detection of ohmic loads. No operation is possible during load
detection.

5 Information for electrically skilled persons
5.1 Fitting and electrical connection
DANGER!
Electrical shock when live parts are touched.
Electrical shocks can be fatal.
Before carrying out work on the device or load, disengage all the
corresponding circuit breakers. Cover up live parts in the working environment.

Figure 3: Connecting a 2-wire extension (6)
Figure 4: Connecting a non-illuminated installation button (7)
o Mount dimmer (1) on DIN rail.
o Connect dimmer, load and if necessary extension in accordance with the appropriate
connection diagram (Figure 3) or (Figure 4).
i Lit installation buttons may only be connected if they have a separate N terminal.
o Connect dimmer to terminal (4) via a bus cable with the RMD radio receiver (5) and/or
other radio actuators (Figure 2).
i The total length of the bus cables between the devices may not exceed 3 m.
i The polarity of the bus cables must not be reversed.
i For the bus cable, use a shielded cable with twisted conductors and a conductor diameter
of 0.8 mm that is designed for a test voltage of 2.5 kV AC. Examples of permissible bus
cables are YCM 2×2×0.8 or J-Y(St)Y 2×2×0.8.
o Switch on mains voltage.
The dimmer automatically sets the dimming principle suitable for the load.
i The load can be switched on or off by pressing the programming button briefly
(for about 1 second).

5.2 Commissioning
i Observe the instructions for the radio transmitter.
DANGER!
Electrical shock when live parts are touched.
Electrical shocks can be fatal.
Before working on the device, cover up live parts in the working environment.
Teaching a radio transmitter
i If all memory slots are occupied, a radio transmitter which has already been taught must
first be deleted. To do this, delete all taught channels and light scenes of the radio
transmitter individually.
The distance between the receiver and the radio transmitter is from 0.5 m to 5 m.
Load is switched off.
o Press the programming button for approx. 4 seconds.
The LED blinks. The device is in programming mode for approx. 1 minute.
o Trigger teach telegram on radio transmitter (see instructions for radio transmitter).
LED lights up. The radio transmitter has been taught.
o Press the programming button briefly.
The load switches on. The device is in operating mode.
i The programming mode is exited automatically after about 1 minute.
i Teach light scene buttons separately.
i When a radio transmitter is taught, All On and All Off buttons that are present are
automatically also taught.
Save switch-on brightness
A set brightness value can be saved in the dimmer as the switch-on brightness.
i In the state as supplied the switch-on brightness is set to maximum.
o Set light to the required brightness.
o Press programming button for longer than 4 seconds.
Switch-on brightness is saved. For confirmation the lighting switches off briefly and then on
again.
i The saved switch-on brightness is retained in the event of a power failure.
Deleting radio transmitters individually
o Teach the radio transmitter to be deleted again (see Teaching a radio transmitter).
LED blinks quickly. The radio transmitter has been deleted.
i If several channels or light scenes of a radio transmitter have been taught, they all must be
deleted individually.
Deleting all radio transmitters
Load is switched off.
o Press the programming button for approx. 20 seconds.
After approx. 4 seconds the LED blinks.
After approx. 20 seconds the LED flashes.
o During the next 6 seconds, release the programming button and press it again for approx.
1 second.
LED lights up. The radio transmitters will be deleted.
LED blinks quickly. All radio transmitters have been deleted.

The symbols used to label the dimmer load shows the load type that can be
connected to a dimmer and the electric behaviour of a load:
R = ohmic, L = inductive, C = capacitive
6.2 Troubleshooting
The dimmer switches the load off briefly and then on again.
Cause: short-circuit protection has tripped but now there is no longer a fault.
The dimmer switches the load off and cannot be switched on again.
Cause 1: electronic short-circuit protection has tripped.
Eliminate short-circuit.
i The electronic short-circuit protection is not based on a conventional fuse, no electrical
isolation of the load circuit.
Cause 2: overheating protection has tripped.
Disconnect dimmer from mains, also switch associated off circuit breakers.
Let dimmer cool down for at least 15 minutes.
Check the installation situation.
Reduce the connected load.
Switch circuit breakers and dimmer on again.
Device does not respond, or only sometimes.
Cause 1: battery in the transmitter is empty.
Change the battery.
Cause 2: Radio range exceeded. Structural obstacles reduce the range.
Check the installation situation.
