Programming/Test button: short press to set programming mode. If this button is held while plugging the device into the KNX bus, it enters the safe
mode. If this button is held for more than 3 seconds, the device enters the test mode.
Programming/Test LED: programming mode indicator (red). When the device enters the safe mode, it blinks (red) every half second. The manual mode
is indicated by the green color. During the start-up (reset or after KNX bus failure) and if the device is not in safe mode, it emits a red flash.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ANDADDITIONAL NOTES
•Installation should only be performed by qualified professionals according to the laws and regulations applicable in each country.
•Do not connect the mains voltage nor any other external voltage to any point of the KNX bus; it would represent a risk for the entire
KNX system. The facility must have enough insulation between the mains (or auxiliary) voltage and the KNX bus or the wires of other
accessories, in case of being installed.
•The facility must be equipped with a device that ensures the omnipolar sectioning. Installation of a 10A mini-circuit-breaker is
recommended. To prevent accidents, it must remain open in case of manipulation of the device.
•The device has a short-circuit protection fuse that, in case of activation, should only be rearmed or replaced by the Zennio technical
service.
•Once the device is installed (in the panel or box), it must not be accessible from outside.
•Keep the device away from water (condensation over the device included) and do not cover it with clothes, paper or any other material
while in use.
•The WEEE logo means that this device contains electronic parts and it must be properly disposed of by following the instructions at
http://zennio.com/weee-regulation.
•This device contains software subject to specific licences. For details, please refer to http://zennio.com/licenses.

SUPPORTEDLOADS
•R = Resistive
•L = Inductive
•C = Capacitive
•CFL = Dimmable Compact Fluorescent Lamps
•LED = Dimmable LED lamps
LOAD COMBINATION
•In case of combiningresistive (R) with inductive (L) loads, the resistive loads must
not exceed the 50% of the total power.
•In case of combining resistive (R) with capacitive (C) loads, the resistive loads
must not exceed the 50% of the total power.
•Combination of capacitive loads with inductive loads is NOT ALLOWED.
•Do not combine CFL or LED lamps with R L C loads.
•It is not advisable to combine different models of CFL lamps, LED lamps or
transformers in the same channel since correct operation can be affected.
OVERHEATING PROTECTION
•When the ambient temperatureis too high the dimmer actuator will regulate itself,
at a maximum of 20%.
•Once the ambient temperature decreases, the dimmer actuator will resume its
normal operation. Please, refer to user manual.
