PROGRAMMING
Programming is easily performed using the
Supla app
, with the settings
tab. This will allow you to instantly change the programming settings with
the press of a button.
The following settings can be changed with the app:
Factory
Reset
Driving
Mode
Boost function (for lights that don’t illuminate when turned on
at minimum brightness)
Operating
range
Status
LED
To get to the settings tab, select the dimmer using the Supla app, and
tap the cog in the bottom right corner (image 1). Sign in and you will be
presented with the settings screen (image 2). You can perform a
factory reset
with the circular arrow at the top. The section below this
allows you to
set modes
1, 2, or 3. Below this you can set the
Boost
on or off. The
operating range
is edited with the wheel, by moving the
dark grey squares (pointed out on the image) around the wheel. The
left widget is for editing the minimum brightness, the right for the
maximum. The final setting,
Status LED
, changes the behavior of the
small blue status LED hidden behind the knob on the dimmer after the
dimmer is connected to the Wi
-
Fi. The middle (default) icon sets the
LED to turn on when the Wi
-
Fi connection drops. Alternatively select
the icon on the left to set the LED to stay on at all times or the icon on
the right to turn it off completely.

WIRING DIAGRAMS
CONTROL TIPS
There are some extra functions of this dimmer that can be used
alongside the regular push on/off and rotary dim controls.
A
sharp turn up
will set the lamps to
maximum brightness
, with a
sharp turn down
setting them to
minimum brightness
. Either of these
can be performed from off. Turning the dimmer
slowly in either
direction
from off will bring the lamps on at
minimum brightness
,
allowing you to ramp up from a very low level.
SUPLA APP CONTROL
To select a dimmer to control from the Supla home screen, swipe left
to bring the control screen forward. From here, there are 2 control
options at the bottom of the screen, wheel (1) or slider (2). You have
the same level of control with either, so choose whichever you prefer.
Drag the button around the wheel, or up and down the slider to dim,
and press the power button to switch on and off. The name of the
dimmer can be changed by holding a press on the dimmer tab and
changing the ‘channel name’. The name of the assigned location can
be changed by holding a press on the location section and changing
the ‘location name’.

WAY CIRCUITS
In 1
-
way
lighting circuits, where the light(s) are controlled from 1 position
use only a V
-
Pro Smart dimmer. For
2 or 3
-
way
circuits (where the
light(s) are controlled from 2 or 3 positions) use one dimmer with 1 or 2
VARILIGHT V
-
Pro Smart dimming Companion Controllers (total cable
length from the dimmer to the last Companion Controller should be no
more than 50m) following the wiring diagrams below. It is not possible
to use conventional switches to control the V
-
Pro Smart system. Follow
the same wiring as for 1
-
way circuits with three (or two) wires linking
each Companion Controller using the “LOAD” terminal, “S
-
LINK”
terminal and (optional) “LIVE” terminal. (Please see wiring diagram
overleaf).
The V
-
Pro Smart system can be used to operate the same lights
from up to 3 switch locations.
