Universal dimmer
EN
1. Basic safety information
Danger of death through electric shock or fire!
¾ Installation should only be carried out by a
qualied electrician!
WARNING
LDue to increasing technical progress, conspicuous features
in dimming behaviour or malfunctions cannot be ruled out
for dimmed lamps (in particular LEDs)
•The dimmer is designed for installation on DIN top hat
rails (in accordance with EN 60715)
•It conforms with IEC/EN 60669-2-1 if correctly installed
2. Proper use
•The dimmer switches and dims the brightness of diffe-
rent lamps such as bulbs, high-voltage halogen lamps,
low-voltage halogen lamps (conventional or with elect-
ronic transformer), dimmable compact uorescent lamps
(energy saving lamps) or dimmable lamps for 230 V as
well as for fans
•The setting for brightness is carried out using the
dimmer on the button connected
•The universal dimmer has a lamp-friendly "soft" on and
off system, automatic detection of the load type (not
in the case of ESL2 and LED2), overheating protection
against overload as well as a short-circuit protection.
•For use in private and public buildings, in closed rooms
Disposal
Dispose of device in environmentally sound manner
3. Installation and connection
Mounting the dimmer
Danger of death through electric shock or fire!
¾ Installation should only be carried out by a
qualied electrician!
WARNING
Disconnect power source
Ensure device cannot be switched on
Check absence of voltage
Earth and bypass
Cover or shield any adjacent live components
Mount the dimmer in the lower part of the distributor to
avoid an excessively high temperature during use.
In the case of a service line of >300 W keep an 8 mm dis-
tance to the right and left of the device.
Connecting the dimmer
¾ Always operate electrical and conventional transformers
with the minimum load specied by the manufacturer.
¾ Use only dimmable compact uorescent lamps / LED lamps
as normal compact uorescent lamps / LED lamps may be
destroyed.
¾ When changing the lamps, switch off the power supply
(at the fuse box) so that the automatic load detection is
reactivated.
¾ Do not connect dimmer load connections (L´) in parallel.
¾ Do not by-pass or short-circuit the dimmer.
¾ Do not install any isolating or variable transformers before
the dimmer.
¾ Do not mix wound and electronic transformers in the
installation.
¾ Do not install wound transformers and compact uorescent
lamps /LED lamps mixed.
¾ Do not connect push button with glow lamp.
¾ Correct, automatic load detection is only possible with a
connected load.
¾ Only use transformers approved by the manufacturer for
dimmer operation.

4. Description of functions
The dimmer is equipped with a rotary switch with 10 posi-
tions in order to set the operating mode:
Rotary switch for setting 10 func-
tions
Potentiometer for setting the dim-
ming time from 1 s to 60 min (for
wake-up and snooze function, stair-
case time switch and switch function)
ON = Dimmer is always on
Functions for dimmable compact uorescent
lamp (CFL) (ESL)
Position 1
With automatic load detection (usually trailing edge),
•always start with 100% to ignite the CFL
•Dimming down only possible after 3 sec.
Position 2
No automatic load detection (always with leading edge)
•Always start with at least 50% to ignite the CFL
•Dimming down only possible after 2 sec.
Position 3 Prog
Teach in light settings and minimum brightness (only for CFL)
LWith several compact uorescent lamps, an annoying
ickering may occur when dimming in position 1.
In this case, use position 2.
Carry out settings only with warm compact uorescent
lamps (after approx. 5 minutes).
LSeveral compact uorescent lamps may cause an overload
in position 2 that automatically leads to the load dimming.
Select position 1 in order to avoid this
Function for LEDs
Position 4: LED 2
No automatic load detection (always with leading edge) (ideal
for dimming problems with LEDs)
LSeveral LED types may cause an overload in position 4
that automatically leads to the load dimming.
Select position 6 or 7 in order to avoid this

5. Setting the functions
1. Wake-up function (comfort function)
•active in position 1, 2, 4, 6, 10
The dimmer dims from the minimum brightness up to the
switch-on brightness taught-in within the set dimming time
(activation via double click).
3
2. Snooze function (comfort function)
•active in position 1, 2, 4, 6, 10
The dimmer dims from the current dimming value up to the
minimum brightness within the set dimming time and swit-
ches off (activation via double click).
3. Dimming switch-on function
•applies for position 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10
The dimmer switches on with minimum brightness and dims
until one releases the button again, or the maximum bright-
ness has been reached (activation by pressing the button for
longer, > 1 s).
4. Switch-on brightness
•applies for position 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10
•Switch-on brightness can be set (presetting 100%) (acti-
vation by pressing the button, < 1 s)
Teach in switch-on brightness
Set the desired switch-on brightness via the button at input
A1/A2 in position 1 (or 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 ).
Keep the button pressed (> 10 seconds) until the teach in
is conrmed by a change in the brightness. Afterwards it is
set to the saved switch-on brightness.
5. Minimum brightness
•applies for position 3, 5
Teach in the minimum brightness
The pre-set minimum brightness is set in such a manner that
most lamps still light up.
Move the rotary switch to 5 (to 3 for compact uorescent
lamps). The current minimum brightness is approached.
Press the button at Input A1/A2 and dim up or down until
the desired minimum brightness value is reached.
Let go of the button; the brightness value is taken over.
Set the rotary switch back to the desired function.
▻Reason: if a certain brightness value is exceeded, cer-
tain compact uorescent lamps / LEDs go out and no
longer ignite.
Carry out settings only with warm compact uorescent
lamps (e.g., switch on for approx. 5 minutes).
6. 2-push button function using diode module
with double switch or rocker switch
•input B1 = push button input
•with switch-on brightness
•with dimming switch-on function
•ON button: switch on /dim up
OFF button: switch off /dim down

•Switch-off pre-warning: after expiry of the set time rapid
dimming down to 50% of the switch-in value. After 10 s,
slow dimming down to minimum brightness within 30 s.
•Long time function 60 mins: activation by pressing the
button for longer (conrmed by change in brightness)
LPressing the button again during the expiry time restarts
the expiry time (resettable, cannot be prematurely swit-
ched off).

Set brightness value using button at A1/A2.
Press button B1 (for light setting LS1, LS2, LS3) for longer
than 10 s; the value is saved as lighting scenario (conr-
med by the difference in brightness). Following this, adjust-
ments are made according to the saved brightness.
Teach in lighting scenario with switch B1 at function 10
Set rotary switch to 5. The current minimum brightness is
approached.
Switch on switch at B1 (close); the lighting scenario is
approached.
Press button at Input A1/A2 to dim up or down.
Release button at Input A1/A2 at desired value; the value
is changed and applied for the activated lighting scenario.
