environment to build the various scenes, such as watch movie, entertainment, dinner and rest, and so on; it’s
brightness value can be set as any value (1-100%); it is able to set the duration time to dim up or down to the
target brightness value and the gradual change speed to extend the luminaries life and save energy and so on.
It is able to use the Engineering Tool Software ETS (ETS3 version or more) with a VD4 file to allocate the
physical address and set the parameters.
This manual describes a series of dimmers. Different dimmers apply to connect different type of lighting, but
their functions are similar,
just in use you need to note the type of connected electrical load, thus reasonable
select them and note their technical performance. If the technical performance of the selected load is not
consistent with the technical performance of the dimmer, it is possible to cause damage to the dimmer or load.
This manual provides the detailed technical information about various dimmers, not only the installation and
programming details, but also the usage explanation in actual application.
1.1. Universal Dimming Actuator
The universal dimmers carry out dimming via phase modulation, have 1channel, 2channels and 4channels,
each output of them is independent, which can connect with dimming lamps, such as incandescent lamps, HV
halogen lamps, LV halogen lamps(with conventional or suitable electronic transformers), dimming energy saving
lamps and LED. These lamps can be switched, dimmed, recall scene or other operations via the bus.
The device has an integrated short-circuit and excess temperature protection.
The devices adopt screw terminals to achieve electrical connection; the connection to the KNX bus is
established via a bus connecting terminal. The input need connect a 230V AC operation voltage. The following
list provides a functional overview:
◆
Switching the light
◆
Relative dimming
◆
Absolute dimming
◆
Status report, error report
◆
Setting 15 scenes
◆
Staircase lighting function
◆
Bus recovery (or reset) function
◆
Preset value and modify preset value functions
The above function of parameters to configure and use are described in the chapter 5
.
