Dimmers
“Master + Slave” system for dimming multiple
lighting loads of either single or mixed lamp
technologies
Type 15.10 “Master“ - accepts input from a
controlling push-button and outputs a dimming
signal to a maximum of 32x15.11 slave dimmers,
or other drivers or luminaires accepting a
standardised 0-10V/1-10V signal
- Use with 4 wire connection
- “Soft” On and Off transitions
- Linear dimming
- Selectable operating modes with or without
previous light level memory
- Staircase timer function
Type 15.11 “Slave“ - accepts 1-10V input from a
15.10 or other 0-10V/1-10V output device to dim
a wide variety of lamps of different technology
- Selector switch for incandescent and halogen
lighting loads (with or without transformer or
electronic driver)
- Compatible with energy saving dimmable
CFL or LED lamps and with all types of
electromagnetic transformers
- Thermal protection against overload, thermo-
fuse for extreme or short-circuit protection

“Master” dimmer
• 0-10V/1-10V output to drive
up to 32x15.11 slave dimmers
or other similar devices
• Multi-function (with or without
memory, including special “CFL
with memory” function)
• Linear dimming
• Dimming speed setting
• Staircase timer function, with
switch-off "early warning”
signalled by lamps dimming
• 230VAC supply, 50/60Hz with
automatic adjustment for
frequency
• 6A output relay contact*
• 17.5mm wide, modular,
35mm rail mount
“Slave” dimmer
• 1-10V input, driven by 15.10 or
by other 0-10V/1-10V output
devices
• Maximum lamp load 400W
• 100W load with energy saving
dimmable lamps (LED and CFL)
• Leading and trailing edge
dimming methods
• “Transformer” function (for
use with electromagnetic
transformers)
• Minimum dimming level
setting
• 17.5mm wide, modular, 35mm
rail mount
* Maximum peak current of the contact
30A 230VAC. Use a contactor or power relay to
switch loads exceeding this value

Approvals (according to type)
Note
(1)
Select “trailing edge” ( ) position on the front selector.
(2)
Select “transformer” ( ) position on the front selector. Preferably, no more than 2 transformers.
(3)
Select “leading edge” ( ) position on the front selector, and set the appropriate minimum dimming value (dependent on lamp type).
(4)
With lamp load >300W (>75W for CFL or LED lamps), adequate ventilation must be provided - a gap of 9mm on both side of the dimmer is
suggested. Use the plastic separator type 022.09.
