Basic functions
Outputs for luminaire groups
DALI or DSI operating devices can be connected to the outputs� It is not possible to operate DALI and DSI opera-
ting devices on the same output simultaneously�
Output (Rel.)
The relay contact is used for the mains disconnection of operating devices (energy-saving operation)�
Inputs on the control device (T↑, T↓)
A separate input (Tx) is provided for dimming each luminaire group�
One connection (T↑or T↓) is provided on each input for dimming up and down (holding down the momentary-
action switch)� This connection can optionally be used for single momentary-action switch control� If the lighting
is switched off manually, briefly pressing the momentary-action switch recalls the last value set for the luminaire
group in question� Multiple conventional 230/240 V, 50/60 Hz momentary-action switches can be connected to
the inputs in parallel�
Input on the control device (T all)
This input is intended for dimming all luminaire groups up or down simultaneously� If the lighting is switched
off manually, briefly pressing the key calls up the last value set for all luminaire groups� Multiple conventional
230/240 V, 50/60 Hz momentary-action switches can be connected to the input in parallel�
Input on the control device (Sc1)
This input is designed to recall lighting scene 1 or switch off the lighting� Multiple conventional 230/240 V,
50/60Hz momentary-action switches can be connected to the input in parallel�
Input on the control device (PD/T)
Multiple conventional 230/240 V, 50/60 Hz motion sensors can be connected to the input in parallel� The motion
sensors act on all outputs simultaneously�

Description of functions
Dimming/lighting scene
Dimming is the variable adjustment of the level of brightness provided by the lighting� The DIMLITE control device
enables the user to dim the lighting manually at any time� The luminaire groups can be dimmed individually or
jointly�
A lighting scene is a configurable brightness setting for a specific activity or task� A lighting scene can be recalled
manually (e�g� by pressing a momentary-action switch) or automatically (e�g� using presence-linked control)�
Two rotary selector switches (Mode, Run-On) can be used to set the switching behaviour and run-on time for the
DIMLITE control device�
Presence-linked control
The most expensive light is a light that is left on in unused rooms and working areas� The DIMLITE control device
enables lighting to operated in an energy-saving way by turning lights off when nobody is present�
A further advantage of presence-linked control is that the lighting is immediately switched on again as soon as
someone enters the detection range of the presence detector/motion sensor�

Daylight-linked control
Optimal lighting conditions promote a feeling of wellbeing and boost motivation� And the best light of all is natural
daylight� However, if daylight is not available in sufficient quantity or quality, it is necessary to supplement it with
artificial light� Throughout the day, the DIMLITE control device automatically balances the level of artificial light in
a room against the amount of daylight�
Example of daylight-linked control
Day
Twilight
Minimum illuminance
Daylight Artificial light
Minimum illuminance
Daylight Artificial light
If a large amount of daylight is en-
tering the room, the first luminaire
group (Grp1) next to the window is
dimmed down� The luminaires in
the luminaire groups (Grp1, Grp2,
Grp3) are dimmed up to provide the
required minimum illuminance�
If the level of daylight in the room
falls, the luminaires in the other
groups (Grp2, Grp3) are dimmed up
accordingly to provide the required
minimum illuminance�
Note:
! All luminaire groups are designed for daylight-linked control�
! For information on project design, see the section "Planning daylight-linked control", page 19�
! For information on configuration, see the section "Configuring daylight-linked control", page 33"�

Daylight-linked control
Daylight linking can only be used to control the lighting when an ED-EYE light sensor is connected at input
Contr�IN�
Starting daylight-linked control
Daylight-linked control only starts when lighting scene 1 is recalled�
Lighting scene 1 can be directly recalled by pressing the keys on the ED-Cxx and IRTOUCH or by pressing
momentary-action switches on the ED-SxED and input Sc1� Lighting scene 1 can also be recalled by motion
sensors and momentary-action switches on input T all or PD/T if it was the last lighting scene active� If lighting
scene 1 was active before the lighting was switched off, lighting scene 1 is recalled when individual luminaire
groups are switched on and thus daylight-linked control is started for these luminaire groups�
If daylight-linked control has been stopped for a luminaire group by smooth adjustment, it is restarted when the
luminaire group is switched on or after 4 hours of non-operation�
Stopping daylight-linked control
Daylight-linked control is stopped by recalling lighting scene 2 or 3 or by switching off the lighting� If lighting
scene 1 is active and the luminaire groups are brightened or dimmed, daylight-linked control is only stopped for
these luminaire groups�
Note:
! The circle section illuminating green for the scene key on the CIRCLE control unit ED-Cxx indicates which
lighting scene is active�
Type of operating devices
The DIMLITE control device can be used to control DALI-compliant operating devices and DSI operating devices�
The type of operating device configured for the outputs can be preset or automatically detected and set by the
control device� All outputs Grp1 – Grp4 are set to control only DALI-compliant operating devices as standard��
Note:
! It is not possible to control DALI-compliant and DSI operating devices on the same output simultaneously�
However, it is possible to control DALI-compliant operating devices on one output (e�g� Grp1) and DSI operating
devices on a different output (e�g� Grp2)�
! If an operating device has both a DALI and DSI interface,, the outputs are automatically set to DALI-compliant
operating devices� However, this setting can be changed using the test key (see the section "Setting the type
of operating device", page 28)� The set type of operating device is retained even if the voltage supply is
interrupted�
Mains disconnection
This function helps to lower energy costs and increase energy efficiency� For this function to work, the phase for
the power supply of the operating devices must be passed through the relay contact (Rel�) If all connected lumi-
naires are switched off, the relay contact (Rel�) switches off power to the operating devices after 30 minutes�

Note:
!DALI and DSI operating devices may not be connected to the same output simultaneously�
!A luminaire is allocated to a luminaire group by connecting the DALI/DSI control line to an output� Therefore
you must first determine which luminaires are to be located in which luminaire groups and plan the associ-
ated cabling�
!If you are planning daylight-linked control, you must take into account that each luminaire group will be
controlled individually� When planning the luminaire groups, consider the different directions in which day-
light enters the room see the section "Example of daylight-linked control", page 8� Plan the cabling
accordingly�
!If planning presence-linked control, take into account that, in principle, all luminaire groups will be controlled
together� However, separate luminaire groups can be controlled individually using the ED-SENS multi-sensor�
The IRTOUCH remote control is required for this configuration�
! If you are planning a mains disconnection (energy-saving mode), pass the phase for supplying power to
the operating devices through the relay contact (Rel�) In doing so, observe the maximum switching current
(max�16 A ohmic load) of the relay contact� If the maximum switching current is exceeded by the connected
operating devices, incorporate a sufficiently designed contactor�
!For details about cabling options (DALI/DSI control lines) and installation materials, see the section "DALI/DSI,
Contr�IN control lines", page 20�

Note:
!The range of the IRTOUCH remote control depends on the conditions in the room: the infrared signal is
influenced by surfaces that are reflective (e�g� light walls, furnishings and floors) or absorbent (e�g� dark walls)�
!Devices that emit infrared light (such as laptops, PDAs or mobile phones with active infrared interfaces, as
well as plasma screens) can also influence the infrared signal emitted by the IRTOUCH remote control�
!Only one infrared emission code from the IRTOUCH remote control can be effective for each DIMLITE system�
If you u se more than one DIMLITE system, you can operate each system separately by assigning a dedicated
infrared emission code (up to a maximum of three different infrared emission codes can be allocated for each
ED-SENS multi-sensor or ER-IR infrared receiver)� To set the IRTOUCH infrared emission code, use the multi-
switch (0-2) in the battery compartment see the section "Assigning an IRTOUCH remote control", page 30 �

Momentary-action switches on the DIMLITE control device
The DIMLITE control device has 2 or 4 inputs to which conventional momentary-action switches can be con-
nected� Briefly pressing the momentary-action switches connected to inputs T1 – T4 and T all recalls the last
value set for the luminaire groups in question or switches off the lighting� Holding down the momentary-action
switches dims or brightens the luminaire groups in question� A momentary-action switch connected to the
Sc1 input recalls lighting scene 1 or switches off the lighting� For a description of operating options, see the
section "Conventional momentary-action switches", page 10�

Note:
! Any number of momentary-action switches can be connected to an input (T1, T2, T3, T4, T all, Sc1) in parallel�
!The phase (L) adjacent to the inputs must be the same as the phase used to supply power to the DIMLITE
control device�
!Loop-through wiring of the momentary-action switches to other DIMLITE control devices is not permitted�
Note:
! If an output is not used, the associated input (e�g� T3↓) must be electrically connected to another input
(e�g�T2↓) to which a momentary-action switch is connected� This connection method makes the switched-off
state of the unused outputs clear, which is necessary for mains disconnection, for example� In this case, the
relay contact (Rel�) only opens when all outputs are switched off�
