Read the complete manual before attempting installation and activating the system.
1. DESCRIPTION
This flush-mounting push button dimmer with reverse phase control has a maximum load of 100 W and is
suitable for dimming Philips © LED fixtures (see 3.4.) and dimmable economy lamps. Remote control via NO
contacts. Maximum of 30 non-illuminated push buttons in parallel.
2. MOUNTING AND CONNECTIONS
To connect the load and the necessary power supply voltage, see the wiring diagrams below ➥➊. To regulate
the minimum level in cases of incorrect light output, see ➥➋. For installation, see ➥➌.
3. OPERATION AND USE
3.1. Normal operation
Remote control unit via NO contacts (not illuminated). Press briefly to switch on and off. Hold down to dim
up and down. When holding down, the dimming direction is switched after each interruption (dimming up
-> stop -> dimming down-> stop -> dimming up -> etc.). Once the maximum intensity has been reached,
the dimming level remains unchanged. The last dimming level reached before the dimmer is switched off is
saved in a memory (3.3.). Up to 30 NO contacts (170 00000) can be connected in parallel (max. distance
100 m). The push buttons are not galvanically isolated.
3.2. The dimmer works according to the reverse phase control principle.
3.3. Memory function
The dimmer can be used with or without memory. The standard setting of the dimmer is without memory
function. To change this setting, dim up to the maximum light level and then hold the control button in for
10 s. After 10 s., the light dims from 100% to a lower light level to indicate that this function has been
switched on. After this change in light intensity, immediately release the push button. Repeat the procedure to
deactivate the memory function. This function, and the last set light level, is stored in a non-volatile memory,
i.e. they will not be lost in the event of a power failure. With the memory function, the dimmer switches on for
the first time at a light level chosen by the manufacturer. Thereafter the dimmer switches on at the last set
value.
TIP! When using dimmable economy lamps, we recommend switching off the memory function.
With memory
- Press briefly = on at previous level/off
- Hold down when off = the dimmer dims up from the minimum light level
- When dimming up, the dimmer stops at the maximum
- When dimming down, the dimmer stops for 2 s. at the minimum and then dims back up
- A renewed (long) press reverses the dimming direction
Without memory
- Press briefly = on at maximum/off. Apart from that, the control is analogous to the control with memory.
- Push button control:
brief press < 400 ms; holding down > 400 ms
= on/off = dimming up/dimming down

4. TROUBLESHOOTING
- Possible causes of dimmer malfunction:
- the dimmer is switched off; the load is not dimmable in reverse phase control;
- the mains voltage is not connected;
- the load is not connected or is too high;
- the lamp or the cable used is defective;
- the connected load is not suitable (e.g. a ferromagnetic transformer);
- the thermal protection has been activated;
- a combination of the above causes.

- The dimmer is equipped with thermal protection. If the temperature climbs too high as a result of
overloading, the dimmer switches off. If this happens:
- check whether the load is too high;
- check whether mixed loads are being used;
- check whether the minimum dimming level is set too low (for operation with memory);
- check the ambient temperature and positioning conditions. Depending on these factors, the maximum
connection output must be reduced as follows:

5. USAGE WARNINGS
- Control signals that are sent via the mains can interfere with the operation of the dimmer. (This is not a defect.)
- 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.
- Reaction of the device after a power failure: return to the previous setting with memory/without memory.
- The dimmer is never electrically separated from the mains due to the operation of the control. In other words,
all parts remain connected to the power even if the load (e.g. the light) is "off".
- This appliance is not suitable for controlling motors and ferromagnetic mains transformers.
