4a. Telemetry – TEL (Remote Switching)
The TEL button should be selected if the illuminator is to be turned
on/off using a remote switch or input.
The TEL input can be used in various ways:
1. Turn the light on (night) and off (day) automatically via the photocell. This
is the standard factory setting – and no further action is required
2. Turn the light on and off from a remote switch or input
3. Used in conjunction with the Timer Function to turn the light on for a pre-
defined period of time. (See section 4c below).
Factory Default = Telemetry TEL Enabled.
See detailed wiring instruction - section 4.
4b. Telemetry - DIM (Remote Dimming)
The remote dimming feature allows the brightness of the VARIO2
illuminator to be controlled remotely using the telemetry input wires.
Use the DIM button to select this function.
When the DIM function is selected, a telemetry input (Telemetry input
wires joined) will vary the brightness up and down. When the telemetry
input is first applied, it will dim the light until the input stops (orange
and purple wires no longer joined), the illuminator will then stay at that
brightness level. Further telemetry input will continue to dim the light to its
lowest output. Once it hits its lowest setting, it will start to brighten again.
A further input will then continue to brighten the light further to its highest
output or until the input stops.
Note: Repeated input activation of the telemetry wires continues to dim or
brighten the illuminator repeatedly.
Please note that Remote Dim is disabled by pressing TEL button (see 4a
above). After setting a specific light level using the DIM function, if Telemetry-
TEL is enabled, the last power level set when using the DIM function will be
remembered and used by the system – unless a new power adjust button
is selected.
Factory Default =Telemetry DIM Disabled.
See detail on Telemetry input wires - section 4
VARIO2 POE (Non Premium): Using the DIM function on the remote will just
cycle the power up and down continuously, until the user presses the TEL
button. (Brightness adjustment as per VARIO2 / VARIO2 POE Premium is not
possible.)
