c. When on, the slider shall change the light level/fan speed.
When off, the slider shall preselect the light level/fan speed
that the control will turn on to. Paddle switch shall turn
lights/fan on to the preselected level, or off.
d. Paddle switch and slider shall be captured internal to the
control.
e. 3-Way controls shall be capable of multi-location on and
mechanical air-gap off using standard 3-way and 4-way
switches. Multi-location switches shall be Satin Colors
decorator style with a matte finish.
f. Dimmer shall be backlit with soft glow locator light.
g. Within rated capacity, dimmers shall be available for direct
control of incandescent, magnetic low voltage, electronic
low voltage, and fluorescent. Matching fan-speed controls
shall also be available.
h. Controls shall be capable of operating at the rated capacity;
this includes modified capacities for ganging configurations
which require the removal of fins. Operation at rated
capacity shall be possible across the full ambient
temperature range, without shortening design lifetime.
i. To ensure a precise color match between all plastic parts,
color variation of any matte finish control shall not exceed
a delta E of 1, CIE L*a*b* color units, as defined in ASTM E
308-99.
j. Dimmer shall provide smooth and continuous Square Law
dimming curve, for the full slider travel, on their rated load
per The IESNA Lighting Handbook, 9th edition, p. 27-4.
k. 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.
l. 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.
m. Dimmers shall be designed to reduce interference with
radio, audio, and video equipment.
n. 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.
o. Controls shall not be susceptible to damage or loss of
memory due to static discharge.
p. Controls shall operate in an ambient temperature range of
0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F).
q. 3-Way controls shall wire using conventional 3-way and
4-way wire runs.
r. Contractors shall install all backboxes with a minimum
wallbox depth of 2.5 inches.
2. Incandescent Dimmers
a. Provide single-pole and 3-way incandescent dimmers in 600
Watts and 1000 Watts capacities.
b. Dimmer shall operate in either 3-way switch location.
3. Electronic (Solid-State) Low Voltage (ELV) Transformer Dimmers
a. Provide ELV dimmers for direct control of up to 300 watts of
electronic low voltage load.
b. Dimmers shall contain circuitry specifically designed to
control the input of electronic (solid state) low voltage
transformers. Dimmers using standard phase control shall
not be acceptable.
