Domintell Dimmax 380SLX Mode D'emploi

Dimmax 380SLX – User manual
• The Dimmax universal dimmer can dim your LED lightings, classical light
bulbs and halogens (230V/12V via transformer).
• For an optimal functioning, only connect a single type of lamp.
• A connected pushbutton is required for the functioning of the dimmer.
The dimmer remembers its last dimming position (ex-factory setting: 50%).
•
The power a Dimmax 380SLX is of 8 to 200W for LEDs and of 8 to 420W
•
for other lamps; 30 lamps max.
Wiring and configuration of the dimmer
In order to get a good dimming, these steps must be carefully followed:
1. Plug the dimmer according to the hereby enclosed diagram (cut off the 230V
with the circuit breaker first)
2. Plug the lamp and make sure it is
properly dimming (ex-factory
configuration of the dimmer is set to
mode 1).
• The lamp is correctly dimming?
(progressively and to a minimal level):
→ go to step 3.
• The lamp isn't
dimming? (improperly or not at all):
→ try with another mode.
• The lamp isn't correctly dimming
in any mode? (improperly or not at
all): → Read thoroughly the user
manual as well as the possible error
codes detailed in the technical
documentation available on the
website.
3. Now set the minimal dimming level
with the right selector (minimal
threshold).

Voltage Power
230V 8-420W (LED 8-200W)
• For a safe installation, the device can only be mounted by a qualified
electrician.
The device must not be opened in any case (cancels warranty).
•
• The device can only be installed inside, in a dry place, compatible with
IP20 devices.
• During the mounting and unmounting of the device, cut off the 230V
circuit-breaker.
The screws of the connectors of the device are unscrewed at delivery
•
and must be properly screwed before use.
After installation, the screws of the connector must be protected so that
•
could not be accessible for the final user.
• Do not connect a lightly loaded inductive transformer.
After reconnexion of the 230V, the 380SLX Dimmax turns on
red indicator turns on for 0.5 second.
Smoothly turn (clockwisely) the operation mode setting from its stop (fully
left). The first quarter = mode 1, second quarter = mode 2, etc up to mode
4. Mode selection is confirmed with a visual code of the red indicator:
Mode 1 (1 short red flash, endlessly repeated) = trailing edge dimming, to
be used with:
• 230V classical light bulbs and halogens (BEST at cold startup), power
8 – 420W.
• 230V dimmable electronic converters or LEDs designed for trailing
edge, power 8 – 200VA.
Mode 2 (2 short red flashes, endlessly repeated) = leading edge dimming,
(also called "triac mode"), to be used with:
• Disc-wound transformers for 12V halogens (the Dimmax 380SLX
automatically detects them and forces mode 2), power 0 – 380VA.
Caution: the load for this type of transformer must be of at least 80% of
the nominal power of the tranformer.
Electronical converters or dimmable leading edge compatible LEDs,
•
power 0 – up to 200VA.
Mode 3 (3 short red flashes, endlessly repeated) = power-optimized mode
for LEDs, power 8 – up to 200VA, to be used with:
• Electronical converters or 230V dimmable LEDs.
Mode 3 was designed to control more LEDs (or converters) with usually less
losses and reduced peak currents. However, some LEDs are better dimmed
Dimension
with other modes. Do no hesitate to try.
47 x 45 x 18
Mode 4 (4 short red flashes, endlessly repeated) = anti-flickering
optimized mode for LEDs (can particularly fit 230V dimmable « filament »
type LEDs); this mode leads to a significantly reduced power compared to
other modes.
When a mode limit is crossed by turning the selector (one way or the other),
the Dimmax 380SLX is reinitialized. This means:
• The dimmer output is slowly TURNED OFF, the load is cut-off;
• The red indicator turns on for 0.5s to confirm the mode switch;
• And then, the red indicator will display the code of the new mode.
Tip: Cross a mode limit is an easy way to reset (including error conditions)
without cutting-off the 230V.
As soon as a mode is displayed, the Dimmax 380SLX is ready to work
under the control of the pushbutton.
For a LONG PUSH (>0,4s) on the button: the dimmer turns on (if it was
OFF) and the dimming level slowly increases/decreases between Min
(settable) and Max (100 % = total conduction) level; the last level is
maintained by releasing the button.
For a SHORT PUSH (<0,4s) on the button: the dimmer turns on or off with a
smooth transition.
