6. USAGE WARNINGS

- This appliance is not suitable for controlling motors.
- When using a ferromagnetic transformer, check whether it is
suitable for use in combination with an electronic control.
- When using halogen lighting with ferromagnetic transformers,
take into account the efficiency of the transformers. Load the
transformers to at least 80% of their nominal power. Take into
account the efficiency of the transformer when calculating the total
dimmer load. The transformer has to be suitable for dimming.
- Electronic transformers can exhibit unstable behaviour if the wire
length between the transformer and the lamps exceeds 2m.
- This dimmer produces a limited amount of heat under normal
operating conditions. Allow for sufficient heat dissipation, do not
cover the dimmer with insulating material. Allow for a reduction
in maximum power when installing several dimmers on top of,
or alongside, each other. Install a fan, if necessary.
- When installing several dimmers on top of, or alongside each other,
it may be necessary to reduce the max. power (see load table).
- When installing the dimmer in the immediate vicinity of an audio
installation, it is advisable to use shielded wire to interconnect
the various system components.
- Lamps that are connected through dimmers do not light at the
max. light intensity. There light level will always be smaller than the
light level of an identical lamp connected directly to the mains.
- The dimmer is provided with a PLC filter. This filter ensures that
any interference caused by signals transmitted over the mains
is suppressed as much as possible.
- Do not switch on the dimmer if the transformers are not loaded.
