Specification

CORE Lighting Controls
x. Controls shall meet the applicable requirements of UL 20 and UL 1472 referring to the
inclusion of a visible, accessible air-gap off switch and the limited short circuit test.
y. Controls shall meet ANSI/IEEE Std. C62.41-1980, tested to withstand voltage surges of up to
6000V and current surges of up to 200A without damage.
z. Dimmers shall be designed to reduce interference with radio, audio, and video equipment.
aa. Controls shall incorporate power-failure memory. Should power be interrupted and
subsequently returned, the lights or fans will come back on to the same levels set prior to the
power interruption. Restoration to some other default level is not acceptable.
ab. Controls shall not be susceptible to damage or loss of memory due to static discharge.
ac. Controls shall operate in an ambient temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F).
ad. 3-Way controls shall wire using conventional 3-way and 4-way wire runs.
2. Incandescent & Magnetic Low Voltage (MLV) Transformer Dimmers
a. Provide unit operating as single-pole/3-way incandescent/magnetic low voltage dimmers in 600
Watts (9534) and 1000 Watts (9536) capacities.
b. Dimmer shall be capable of being wired as either a single-pole or 3-way device.
3. Electronic (Solid State) Low Voltage (ELV) Transformer Dimmers
a. Provide ELV dimmers for direct control of up to 600 watts (9535) and 1000 watts (9537) of
electronic low voltage loads.
b. Dimmer shall be capable of being wired as either a single-pole or 3-way device.
c. Dimmers shall contain circuitry specifically designed to control the input of electronic (solid state)
low voltage transformers.
d. Dimmers shall be designed to withstand a short, per UL 1472 section 5.10, between load hot and
either neutral or ground without damage to the dimmer.
4. Fluorescent Dimming Ballast Dimmers
a. Provide 8A (9580) and 8A (9568) Fluorescent dimmers for direct control of fluorescent dimming
ballasts up to the manufacturers specified rating.
b. Dimmers shall be designed to operate the following ballasts:
1) Advance Mark 10® Powerline
2) Advance Ambistar®
3) Tu-Wire™ High Performance Dimming Ballasts (5% 2-wire)
b. Dimmer shall be capable of being wired as either a single-pole or 3-way device.
5. ASPIRE Fan-Speed Controls:
a. Fan-speed controls shall be UL Listed, CSA and NOM approved, ASPIRE style.
b. Quiet fan-speed model (9544) shall provide three speed settings with paddle providing preset on
and off.
c. Quiet fan-speed control shall provide single-pole/3-way control of one paddle fan (1.5A max.).
d. Fully-variable fan-speed model (9543) shall provide full-range fan control with paddle providing
preset on and off
e. Fully-variable fan-speed control shall provide a single-pole/3-way control of one paddle fan (5A
max.).
B. ASPIRE Accessories
1. ASPIRE Switch Components
a. Switches shall provide on/off control of any 120/277 VAC load up to 15A or 20A.
b. Switches shall be UL Listed as general-use AC switches
