8.2. switchDIM
8.2.1. Description
With the switchDIM function it is possible to use the mains voltage as a control signal.
The phase of a simple standard mains voltage push button is connected to the terminal marked DA/L and the neutral conductor is
connected to the terminal marked DA/N.
Using the function is easy and convenient:
switchDIM is therefore a very simple form of lighting management. It also has a positive effect on material and labour costs.
The device has a switchDIM memory function. This is used, among other things, for storing the last dimming value in the event of
interruptions in the power supply.
When power returns, the LED is automatically restored to its previous operating state and dimmed to the last value.
8.2.2. Commissioning
Using the switchDIM function
switchDIM is operated by the mains voltage push button.
A short press (50-600 ms) switches the device on or off
_
A long press (> 600 ms) fades the connected operating device alternately up and down (between 1 and 100 %).

CAUTION!
Glow switches are not approved for controlling switchDIM.
Glow switches may cause the LED Driver to spontaneously switch on or off or make sudden changes in the dimming value.
½
CAUTION!
To ensure correct operation a sinusoidal mains voltage with a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz is required at the terminal.
Special attention must be paid to achieving clear zero crossings. Serious mains faults may impair the operation of switchDIM and
corridorFUNCTION.
½
CAUTIONS!
A maximum number of 25 operating devices per switchDIM system should not be exceeded.
If you have more devices please use DALI or DSI.
I
NOTICE
If the corridorFUNCTION is activated the LED Driver is controlled only by motion. To operate the LED Driver via DALI, DSI or
switchDIM the corridorFUNCTION must be deactivated.
