This is a wall plug dimmer that can be placed between a British Standard wall outlet and electric devices, plugged in by cord. It can dim all incandescent lights, high voltage halogen lamps and transformers operated low voltage lamps without any restriction. Special optimization functions support the dimming of the majority of dimmable LED lights and Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs). The device is IP20 rated and can therefore only be used in dry environments. The device offers a Baby-Dim Function which dims down a lamp from a defined level into another defined level in a longer but also definable period (e.g. 20 minutes). An automatic Light-Off function and programmable dimming and switching behavior makes the device a very flexible tool for inhouse lighting.
The plug can be plugged into every British Standard wall outlet (Plug Type G). It is IP20 rated and can therefore only be used in dry environments. Do not locate the device facing direct sunlight, humid or dusty place. The suitable ambient temperature for the device is 0°C ~ 40°C. Plugs must not be stacked and operated.
The device is able to dim electric loads up to 300 W. The device can be dimmed wirelessly or using the local button.
Local Operation
The local button has the following functions:
The behavior of the button can be configured.
LED Usage
The device has one blue LED used to indicate status information. The behavior of the blue LED can be configured:
Automated Dimming Function
If activated the dimmer will turn off automatically after a defined time. This function is particularly useful if the dimmer is turned on using a motion detector of any other type of sensor. In this case it"s possible to further define the reaction of the dimmer on certain signals sent from a sensor. This allowes a very flexible application of the dimmer in the house.
Baby Sleeping Function
The device can be used to help babies and little children to find sleep. (It"s save to use the device in childrens rooms or closed to their beds due to the special shutter function that shield the high voltage from touching). When enabled a double click of the button will turn the light into a definable level and then it will gradually dim down over time. The time of dimming and the target dimming state - e.g. off - can be configured as well.
Dimming LEDs and CFLs
LEDs and Compact Flouroscent lights are complicated to dim for two reasons:
There are special LEDs or CFLs that claim to be dimable however almost none of them can be dimmed in the full range of 0% to 100%. Some will flicker at very low dimming level or sometimes on 100% dimming. This flickering is not only annoying but also destroys the lighting device. This dimmer allows to set a lower (configuration parameter 17) and a higher (configuration parameter 18) border for dimming and surpress the dimming levels that are not supported by the device. On default the dimmer will dim between 0% and 100%. If you see problems at certain dimming levels, detect the dimming level at your controlling gateway (reading the dimming value) and change the configuration so that this dimming level will not reached anymore. The extreme case would be to only support 0% (off) and full diming level (on). This function is supported by all lights regardless of the technology. In this mode it is recommended to set the fast dimming speed to 0 (Instantly) using configuration parameter no. 5.
Advanced Options for LED and CFL tweakings
The configuration parameters No 51 - 54 allow to configure the dimming behavior on a very technical level. Do not touch these values unless you know what you do! A dimmer is controlled by the Zero Crossing signal and the TRIAC Fire pulse. The TRIAC fires every half sine wave max one time. A fire cycles starts with the Zero Crosssing and then lasts 156 pulse length increments. The value #51 defines the minimum time after zero crossing because the Triac can fire regardless of the dimming level. Parameter #54 defines whether the fire pulse has defines length (short) or is extended as long as allowed by the minimum start value in parameter #54 and the minimum trailing value defines by #53. This value defines the minimum time the pulse will not be active because of the next zero crossing signal.

Defines how to interpret RF Off command. Can be used in conjunction with Auto Off function: Ignore - to switch on the light by motion detectors and switch it off after some amount of time: in case of multiple motion detectors each would try to switch the light off that would break logics; Switch on - to switch on the light on both On and Off paddle press on the remote and switch it off after some amount of time.
