About LiteDimmer Micro Single
LiteDimmer Micro Single is our entry-level, handheld LED dimmer. As the most
basic of LiteGear’s LiteDimmers, it is lightweight and travel-friendly, making it
perfect for situations requiring small amounts of single-color LiteRibbon® or simply
for those on a budget. Its simple yet powerful approach to controlling brightness
maintains LiteGear’s standard of performance and quality while allowing the
kind of fl exibility demanded from lighting professionals. For best results, use with
LiteGear LEDs which incorporate current limiting. LiteDimmer Micro Single is not
designed to limit current. Additional devices may be required.
Power Supply Options
LiteDimmer Micro Single is capable of operating with DC voltages between 9VDC
to 24VDC only. It will not increase or decrease input voltage. You must provide
voltage that is compatible with the power requirements of LiteRibbon. For best
results, use LiteDimmer Micro Single with LiteGear LED products.
Controls
The dimmer is equipped with a fader and a slightly recessed “Power” button.
Connections
LiteDimmer Micro Single is equipped with two 2.1 mm x 5.5 mm Barrel connectors;
one is used for input power (male) while the other is for output to the LEDs (female).
Barrel polarity is positive (+) in the center, surrounded by a negative (-) shroud.
Safety and Maintenance
Before operation, inspect the cables and enclosure for any damage. Also, inspect
the installation for short circuits, damage, water, or similar.
How to Install
To install LiteDimmer Micro Single, bring the fader down to 0. Provide DC power
between 9V and 24V* to the Barrel input connector. If the “Power” button is red and
fading on and off , the dimmer is on standby. If the “Power” button is steady red, the
dimmer output is active; tap it once to put it on standby. (Note: LiteDimmer Micro
Single will remember the last saved settings on power-up; settings are saved by
waiting for 5 seconds after making a change. For instance, if you put the dimmer on
standby, you must wait at least 5 seconds before disconnecting the dimmer from
power, or the dimmer will not remember that you put it on standby, resulting in an
active output on the next power-up.) Now, connect the load to the Barrel output
connector. Be sure you observe current capacities of all components such as cable,
connectors, and power supplies and that your load is under 4 amps. You are now
ready to operate your LiteDimmer Micro Single.
*Note: Power supply voltage must match the rating of the LiteRibbon, or damage
may occur.
How to Set Levels
With the dimmer on standby, tap the “Power” button once to activate the output.
Use the fader to control brightness. Your single-color LiteRibbon should now be
operating and will be dim or bright depending on the level chosen. The enclosure
shows output level in percentage to the left of the fader.
Software Modes
LiteDimmer Micro Single is programmed with the ability to set an adjustable fade
time when turning your LiteRibbon on and off . To edit the fade time, ensure your
dimmer is on standby (red indicator light will be pulsing), and bring the fader down
to 0. Press and hold the “Power” button. Continue to press and hold while adjusting
the fader accordingly: bringing the fader up to 100 sets the fade time to be 2
seconds while bringing the fader down to 0 sets the fade time to be instantaneous.
The red indicator light under the “Power” button will fl ash with a frequency relative
