important safeguards
Warning –This is a class A product. In a domestic
environment this product may cause radio interference, in
which case the user may be required to take adequate
measures.
Read the Instructions –We recommend that you read
this instruction manual prior to commencement of
installation. Retain instructions and give the end user.
Troubleshooting –If problems are encountered, read
the troubleshooting section on page 8.
Special Programming –Once powered and terminated
correctly this device will only operate in basic mode. A
new Dynalite panel will turn on all lighting channels from
button 1 and turn off from button 4 if network terminations
are correct. Only once the full network is test correct can
commissioning begin. Advanced functions can be
commissioned via Envision software. If commissioning is
required, contact your local distributor for details.
Check Connections –Treat this device as a
switchboard that has been shipped. Tighten all load
carrying screw connections, as vibrations from transport
can cause MCB and terminal block screws to become
loose.
Power Sources –This device should only be operated
from the type of supply specified on the front panel. This
device must be earthed. Do not operate as a single
phase device.
Output Circuits –The load on a circuit should not
exceed the specified capacity of 10A. Loads should be
calculated to ensure that the overall maximum capacity of
60A is not exceeded. Some types of load will need to be
de rated. Check the Dimmable Lamps Chart on page 7
for more information.
Megger Testing –Do not megger test any circuitry
connected to the dimming system, as damage to the
electronics may result.
Mounting Location –This device must be mounted right
way up, on a vertical surface (refer to page 4 for
mounting instructions). The specified minimum clearance
of 200mm for all sides must be adhered to. Install in a
dry, well-ventilated location. Controllers may emit some
mechanical noise. Take this into account when deciding
the mounting location.
Data Cable –The recommended cable for connections to
the serial port is screened, stranded RS485 data cable
with three twisted pairs. Part numbers for various
manufacturers are listed on page 6. This cable should be
segregated from mains cables by a minimum distance of
300mm. If anticipated cable runs are over 600 metres for
serial cables, consult your dealer for advice. Do not cut or
terminate live data cables.
Load Type –The factory default settings are for all
channels to be dimmable. Do not terminate any non-
dimmable loads until the relevant channel has been
programmed as switching only. See the Dimmable
Lamps Chart on page 7. If it is necessary to energise a
switched load before programming has occurred,
temporarily connect the load to the emergency lighting
terminal, instead of the dimmed output terminal, see page
5. Some types of load will need to be de rated, check for
details in the Dimmable Lamps Chart on page 7.

Select a Suitable Location
This device is designed for indoor use only.
If installing in an external location, the
DLE1210 must be housed in a suitable well
ventilated enclosure. Choose a dry location
that will be accessible after the installation
is complete. To ensure the cooling system
functions correctly, the DLE1210 should
only be mounted vertically, the right way
up. The DLE1210 will generate heat when
operating, approximately 2 Watts per Amp
of load, and requires an air gap of 200mm
on each side and at the top and bottom of
the device. This air gap is also required to
ensure serviceability of the DLE1210
without complete removal from the
mounting surface. This device may emit
some mechanical noise. Take this into
account when deciding the mounting
location.
Fixing the Device
The DLE1210 has integral mounting
brackets attached to the enclosure. The
brackets are designed to accommodate 4
fixing screws up to 8mm diameter. The
DLE1210 can be fixed to the wall without
opening the cabinet or removing covers.
Make sure no dust or other debris enters
the device during installation. Do not leave
the front cover off for any length of time.
Excessive dust and dirt can degrade the
cooling of internal components.
Allow for Cable Entry
Supply and load cables enter the enclosure
at the top. If these cables are fed from
below the mounting position, they should
be routed around the enclosure to enter at
the top. An alternative method is to stand
the enclosure off from the mounting surface
by mounting it on a cable tray or a Unistrut
style product. The cables can then be
routed between the enclosure and the
mounting surface, and enter the enclosure
via the cutout provided on the mounting
face. The control cables enter at the
bottom of the enclosure. Control cables
should never be run in the mains voltage
sections of the enclosure.

supply & load cable connections
DLE1210 Installation Manual Rev G.docx 5
Supply Cables
The supply input terminals are located toward
the top of the enclosure and consists of Earth,
Neutral, and Phase, all of which will accept up to
25mm2cables. The supply cables should have
a capacity of 40A per phase, to allow the device
to be loaded to its maximum capacity.
Load Cables
Load cables can be terminated on a Load &
Neutral terminal strip, one pair for each channel,
and an Earth link located at the centre of the
enclosure. These connectors will accept up to
6mm2cables. Calculate the intended load, and
ensure that it is below the maximum capacity of
an individual channel, which is 10A. Do not use
a common neutral at a remote location.
.
Emergency Lighting Connections
Connect emergency lighting circuit active to the
load side on the circuit breaker for the relevant
channel, as indicated by the labels next to the
circuit breakers. Do not remove any cables that
may already be terminated at this location.
Energising the Device
If it is necessary to energise load circuits before
any control cables are connected, it is
acceptable to replace the cover and energise
the device immediately, as the default factory
programming is to have all channels set to 100%
output. If there is no output on any or all
channels, see the “Troubleshooting” section
(page 8). This device should be de-energised
before terminating the control and data cables.

Determine Your Requirements
Serial ports are used to interconnect other
dimmers, smart control panels, sensors and AV
controllers. Serial port devices can be identified by
4 terminals, labelled: GND, DATA+, DATA-, +VE.
Serial Cable Connections
There is one RS485 port for DyNet signals, in the
form of a RJ12 socket, on the front panel, which is
used for the temporary connection of a PC or a
DPP601 Portable Programmer. There are data
terminals on the control card, for permanent
connections. The recommended cable for
connections to the serial port is screened, stranded
RS485 data cable with three twisted pairs.
Recommended cable types include:
Belden: 9503
Dynalite: DYNET-STP-CABLE
Garland: MCP3S
Hartland: HCK603
M&M Cable: B2003CS
M&M Cable: B9503CS
Multicables: AWM E120236 2092 20
RS Components: 368-687
Dynalite DYNET-STP-CABLE
One pair is paralleled for GND, one pair paralleled
for +VE and one pair used for DATA+ and DATA -.
Recommended Cable Colour Coding
Green/White pair:
Paralleled for GND
Orange/White pair:
Paralleled for +VE
Blue/White pair:
Blue for DATA+
White for DATA-
Brown/White pair:
Spare or for Join
The colour-coding scheme used is not critical, as
long as the same scheme is used throughout the
installation.
Serial Cable Connecting Method
The recommended connecting method is to ‘daisy
chain’ devices (starting at the first device, then
looping in then out of devices, with a single cable
terminating at the last device. There should not be
any spurs or stubs, and only the first and last
device should terminate one cable. All other
devices should terminate two cables). Devices
may be wired in any order. The data cable should
be segregated from any mains cables. A data
cable that is connected to an energised dimmer is
live. Do not cut or terminate live data cables. If the
data cable has to cross over any mains cables, it is
recommended that it do so at a 90 degree angle.

AUX Input - This is a dry contact interface that is active low. The dry contact is connected between the AUX
and GND terminals on the DyNet connector strip. The function of the AUX input is programmable. Ensure
that the cable length between the dry contact and terminal strip is no longer than 2 metres.
Service LED - The Service LED has 3 signalling modes, which are useful for troubleshooting:
Blinking slowly (1Hz) = Normal Operation
Blinking fast (0.25Hz) = Network Activity Detected
On = Fault
Service Switch - The Service Switch has three functions:
1 push = Transmit Network ID
3 pushes = All Channels 100%
Push & hold for 4 sec = Reboot
TOP SET - This adjusts the maximum output that all other control sources can select, ie: if the Top Set is
fully clockwise, 100% selected by a control source will give 100% output. If it is fully anti-clockwise, 100%
selected by a control source will give 50% output. This control is useful for extending lamp life and can be
operated without any form of network control, effectively turning the device into a stand-alone power
conditioner and lamp protector.
dimmable lamps chart
INCANDESCENT
LAMPS
Incandescent lamps are easily dimmed using all Dynalite controllers. The soft start and
voltage limit features will extend lamp life. Lamp life can be further extended using the
voltage limit adjustment.
TUNGSTEN
HALOGEN
LAMPS
Tungsten halogen and other transformer loads are easily dimmed using all Dynalite
controllers. The soft start, cleanup and surge limiting features will protect lamps against
premature failure. Lamp life can be extended using the voltage limit adjustment.
FLUORESCENT
LAMPS (38mm)
38mm rapid start lamps can be successfully dimmed to 40% using an inexpensive filament
driver transformer. For better performance, an electronic HF dimming transformer is
recommended. The power factor capacitors need to be wired to the supply side of the
dimmer. Some Dynalite controllers include a supplementary relay contact for control of
power factor capacitors. If electronic ballasts are not used, cabling and controllers should
be de-rated by approx. 60% to allow for reactive current. Contact your Dynalite dealer for
more information.
FLUORESCENT
LAMPS (26mm)
26mm slimline tubes can be dimmed to as low as 5% using a dimmable full electronic
ballast or electronic dimming transformer. No de-rating is necessary with electronic
ballasts. Contact your Dynalite dealer for more information.
COMPACT
FLUORESCENTS
Only some types of 4 pin PL lamps can be successfully dimmed using dimmable electronic
ballasts. Best results are achieved with DC controlled HF ballasts
NEON
Only argon filled neon lamps can be reliably dimmed. The power factor capacitors need to
be wired to the supply side of the dimmer. Cabling and controllers should be de-rated by
approx. 60% to allow for reactive current. Any open circuit monitoring on the neon
transformer must be suitable for dimming.
HID SOURCES
Mercury vapour and sodium lamps can be dimmed to approx. 45%. For successful
dimming to low levels, the fade time should be set to very slow speeds (> 30sec) to avoid
"cut out" problems. The power factor capacitors need to be wired to the supply side of each
dimmer. Some Dynalite controllers include a supplementary relay contact for control of
power factor capacitors. Cabling and controllers should be de-rated by approx. 60% to
allow for reactive current. Contact your Dynalite dealer for more information.
METAL HALIDE
Metal halide lamps give similar dimming performance to other HID sources. However, the
colour of the light tends to change in an unpredictable way in most lamps when dimmed
(often permanently). Most lamp manufacturers do not recommend dimming of metal halide
lamps. Contact your Dynalite dealer for more information.
