MASTER SLAVE SLAVE SLAVE
This new system is modular, adaptable to every need and allows control of multiple lamps through
a single control device called the “Master Dimmer” Type 15.10.8.230.0010.
The Master Dimmer, produces a 0 - 10V signal proportional to the dimming value needed:
0V corresponds to 0% (light off); 5V equals 50%, 10V corresponds to the maximum brightness
(100% on).
The 0 - 10V output signal terminals Yout + / Yout of the “Master Dimmer” must be connected to
terminals + Yin / Yin of one or more 15.11.8.230.0400, called the “Slave Dimmers”, which have the
task of changing the voltage applied to the lamps and therefore their brightness.
The result is a flexible system that offers a range of solutions from the minimum configuration of a
Master Dimmer and a Slave Dimmer, up to the maximum configuration of a Master Dimmer and 32
Slave Dimmers.
Each slave can drive a different lamp type, depending on the appropriate methodology, “Leading
Edge” or “Trailing Edge”. It can regulate halogen lamps, dimmable LED lamps, dimmable CFL lamps,
electronic transformers, and electromagnetic transformers.
For example, one Master Dimmer can control a Slave Dimmer with LED lamps and at the same time
a second Slave Dimmer with halogen lamps, and a third with electronic transformers.

MASTER DIMMER TYPE 15.10 AND SLAVE DIMMER TYPE 15.11
It is recommended that the Master controls from one to a maximum of 32
Slave units.
The push-buttons (including illuminated push-buttons Max. 15) serve as the
ON / OFF (momentary push), or when pressed for a longer time they adjust
the brightness level.
Each Slave can drive a different load type.
MASTER DIMMER + 0 - 10V ELECTRONIC TRANSFORMER OR BALLAST
Using only the Master Dimmer it is possible to control electronic trans
formers
or ballasts with a 0 - 10V / 1 - 10V input (observing correct polarity).
For 1 - 10V applications it is suggested to supply the Ballast Live from
terminal 14. This will ensure that the supply to the Ballast is cut-off for a
signal < 1V.
Note: Check that the maximum Peak Current of the Ballast does not
exceed the 30A 230VAC rating of terminal 14. Use a contactor or power
relay to switch loads exceeding this value.

Control
BMS 0 - 10V OUTPUTS + SLAVE DIMMERS
In the case of Home Automation or Building Automation systems you can use
just the Slave Dimmer Type 15.11 directly controlled by the 0 - 10V output of
the building management system (BMS), or by 0 - 10V rotary regulators.
