Note

(1)

Select “incandescent lamp” ( ) position on the front selector.

(2)

One transformer only. Power-up only with the lamp load connected.

(3)

Select “transformer” ( ) position on the front selector. Preferably, no more than 2 transformers.

(4)

One transformer only.

(5)

Select “CFL” ( ) position on the front selector, and set the appropriate minimum dimming value (dependent on lamp type).

(6)

Only if electronic transformers are compatible with leading edge method.

(7)

Only 50 Hz version available.

(8)

Specific 60 Hz version available (see ordering information).

(9)

It is not recommended to mount more than one dimmer in the same wall box, unless an adequate ventilation is provided or the lamp load is

less than 100 W (15.51) or 50 W (15.91).

(10)

With lamp load > 300 W, adequate ventilation must be provided - a gap of 5 mm on both side of the dimmer is suggested.

Not compatible with illuminated push-buttons.

SERIE 15 15 Series - Electronic step relay and dimmer Functions (15.81 type) Operating mode without memory: at switch-off, the light level is not memorized. Long control pulse: The light level is progressively raised or lowered in linear way. The lowest value depend on the “minimum dimming level” regulator setting. Short control pulse: Alternately switches between On and Off between the maximum light level and the off state. Type 15.81...
