Technical Information
Dimmers
Low voltage rotary-dimmer for LED LAMPS 60 W and RL 6-120 W (5TC8263)
Technical specifications
Schematics
Power supply Mains connection 230 V (2-wire method), rated voltage: 230 V AC, 50 Hz
Protection against short-circuits
Reversible operating electronic fuse
Protection against overloads With additional temperature cutout, which shuts down the dimmer in the event of an overload and only
resupplies it automatically with power when the overload is eliminated after the device has sufficiently
cooled down
Load output
• Number Two terminals for two-way switching ( and )
• Rated voltage 230 V AC, 50 Hz
• Rated load (up to 35 °C ambient temperature)
- Incandescent lamps
- High-volt halogen lamps
- Low voltage halogen lamps magn.
- Dimmable LED Lamps
6 ... 120 W
6 ... 120 W
25 ... 100 VA
- Maximum connected load at ambient temperature
Warning: The connected load must be
reduced by 25 %, depending on oper-
ating conditions
• For mounting on wood, Rigips, gas
concrete or cavity walls
• For installation in multiple combina-
tions or surface-mounting enclosures
If using highly thermally insulating
materials (e.g. glass wool), it may be
necessary to reduce the connected
load even further
Terminals
4 screw terminals with anti-slip terminal body, the following conductor/cross-sections are permissible:
• 0,5 ... 4.0 mm² solid
• 0,5 ... 2.5 mm² finely stranded, with or without end sleeve (without insulating collar, gas-tight crimp
connection)
Mechanical specifications
• Enclosure Plastic
• Dimensions Modular width: 71 mm x 71 mm, mounting depth: 32 mm
• Weight Approx. 95 g
• Fire load Approx. 1000 kJ
• Mounting Installation in device boxes 60 mm Ø, 40 mm deep according to DIN 49073-1
Electrical safety
• Pollution degree (acc. to IEC 60664-1) 2
• Degree of protection (acc. to EN 60529) IP20
• Overvoltage category (acc. to IEC 60664-1) III
• Standard According to EN 60669-2-1

Note: Connect the dimmer only to LED lamps marked as dimmable!
Many LED bulbs are not dimmable!
This also applies to the ballasts of LED lamps.
Note: A list of suitable LED loads for the dimmer is updated regularly and is available on the
Internet at:
