-
way circuits. For 2 or 3
-
Way
circuits, use a V
-
Pro Smart dimmer with one or more companion
controllers. V

Pro Smart rotary/Wi
-
Fi dimmers cannot be used in
conjunction with conventional switches in a 2
-
way circuit. Use only on
an electricity supply of 230V~.
This product complies with

1) when used in lighting circuits containing MCBs
(miniature circuit breakers). These can be rated at 6A, 10A or 16A
(preferably 6A for lighting circuits). Your guarantee is not affected if you
have an older lighting circuit protected by fuse wire links.

wound or toroidal transformers;
Electric
motors
OVERLOAD PROTECTION:
This dimmer switch is protected against overload. If an overload occurs
it will automatically turn off until the overload is removed and the dimmer
switch is switched off and then switched back on again. However, if the
dimmer switch receives a total short
-
circuit it may be damaged beyond
repair.
TRANSFORMERS
Use only with quality dimmable
electronic
transformers. For optimum
performance choose VARILIGHT transformers*.
To calculate load, add the VA ratings of the
transformers
(
not
the
wattage of the bulbs). Choose transformers with a maximum rating
close to their lamp load (eg. Use a 50VA, 60VA or 70VA transformer to
control a 50W low voltage bulb).N.B. Certain transformers
may not
behave according to their power rating when used with a dimmer
.
An overload will result in the dimmer turning itself off. If this happens,
change your transformer(s) (VARILIGHT transformer(s)
recommended); or remove one (or some) transformer(s) from the
circuit; or choose a higher rated dimmer instead.
If a transformer
specifies Triac dimming, use a dimmer from the V
-
Com series.
*
If a transformer appears as a highly inductive load, e.g. Wire
-
wound
or toroidal transformers, the dimmer will not work. To protect itself it will
turn off within 1 second.
ADVICE ON CHANGING LIGHT BULBS
Always turn off the mains power when light bulbs controlled by your
V
-
Pro Smart dimmers are replaced. If you change the type of light bulb
then restore factory settings as described under “Programming”.

FITTING YOUR DIMMER SWITCH
Read the instructions below carefully. Incorrect installation may damage
the dimmer beyond repair. In case of any doubt or difficulty consult a
qualified electrician.
1. Switch off at the mains, then remove the existing switch and
disconnect the wiring from the switch terminals at the rear, taking note
of the present wiring of the switch and the marking on the terminals.
Where there are two or more wires together in the old switch, they must
be kept together in the dimmer switch.
2. Ensure that any wall box is free of plaster lumps or projecting screw
heads. Dimmer switches on single
-
sized plates can be fitted to wall
boxes having 60.3mm screw fixing centres and those with double
-
sized
plates to wall boxes with 120.6mm fixing centres. Dimmers can be fitted
into a box with a minimum depth of 25mm for Classic plated products,
or 35mm for Ultraflat and Screwless. A box having 4 fixing lugs cannot
be used without modifying it. The top and bottom lugs must be broken
off or bent flat.
3. To connect the wiring for 1
-
way or 2
-
way circuits refer to the wiring
diagrams, or the text under the heading "1
-
Way, 2
-
Way and 3
-
Way
Circuits" on the other side of this leaflet. Take care that no bare wires
project out of the terminals. Keep wires together in a terminal if they were
together in your old switch.
4. Dimmer switches having a metal plate must be earthed by means of
the earthing point on the faceplate.
5. After connecting the wires screw the dimmer switch gently into the
wall box so that the front plate is not distorted or cracked. Do not trap
the wiring between the rear of the dimmer and the back of the wall box.
6. Once installation is complete. Switch on the mains supply and switch
on the dimmer.
Important:
Disconnect the dimmer before carrying out insulation
resistance testing. Failing to do so could damage a dimmer and make
the guarantee invalid.
