“Master + slave” system for multiple load
dimming
• Suitable for incandescent and halogen lighting
loads (with or without transformer or electronic
supply)
• Compatible with energy saving (CFL or
LED) dimmable lamps and with all types of
electromagnetic transformers
• 0-10V driving. Master Dimmer Type 15.10 is
able to drive up to 32 Slaves Dimmer Type 15.11
• Use with 4 wire connection
• “Soft” On and Off transitions
• Selectable operating modes with or without
previous light level memory (15.10)
• Staircase timer function, with “switch-off early
warning” signalled by lamps dimming (15.10)
• Linear dimming
• Thermal protection against overload, thermo-
fuse for extreme protection and short-circuit
protection (15.11)
• 230VAC supply, 50/60Hz with automatic
recognition of frequency
Screw terminal
15.10 15.11
• “Master” dimmer
• 0-10V/1-10V output, usable
both for driving one or more
15.11, or for directly controlling
Drivers and luminaires with
0-10V/1-10V inputs
• Multi-function (with or without
memory, including specific
“memory for CFL” function)
• Dimming speed setting
• Staircase timer function, with
“switch-off early warning”
signalled by lamps dimming
• 6A output relay contact*
• 17.5mm wide, modular
• “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 electromechanical
transformers)
• Minimum dimming level
setting
• 17.5mm wide, modular
* When the total load exceeds 6A, it is necessary
to switch it through an external contactor

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.
