switchDIM and corridorFUNCTION are very simple tools for controlling gears with conventional
pushbuttons or motion sensors.
To ensure correct operation a sinusoidal mains voltage with a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz
is required at the control input.
Special attention must be paid to achieving clear zero crossings.
Serious mains faults may impair the operation of switchDIM and corridorFUNCTION.
Constant light output (CLO)
The luminous flux of a LED decreases constantly over the life-time. The CLO function ensures
that the emitted luminous flux remains stable. For that purpose the LED current will increase
continuously over the LED life-time.
In masterCONFIGURATOR it is possible to select a start value (in percent) and an expected
life-time. The LED Driver adjusts the current afterwards automatically.
Power-up/-down Fading
The power-up/-down function offers the opportunity to modify the on-/off behavior.
The time for fading on or off can be adjusted in a range of 0.2 to 16 seconds.
According to this value, the device dims either from 0 % up to the power-on level or from the
current set dim level down to 0 %.
This feature applies while operating via switchDIM, ready2mains and when switching the mains
voltage on or off. By factory default no fading time is set (= 0 seconds).
Light level in DC operation
The LED Driver is designed to operate on DC voltage and pulsed DC voltage.
For a reliable operation, make sure that also in DC emergency operation the LED Driver is
run within the specified conditions as stated in chapter “4.1 operating window”.
Light output level in DC operation: programmable 1 – 100 % (EOFi = 0.13).
Programming by DALI or ready2mains.
In DC operation dimming mode can be activated.
