Read the complete user manual before carrying out the installation and activating the system.
1. DESCRIPTION
The universal flush-mounting rotary dimmer plus 5 – 325 W is suitable for the dimming of resistive,
inductive and capacitive loads as well as dimmable halogen, LED and economy (CFLi) lamps. This device is not
suitable for the control of motors.
The dimmer can be used with or without memory and is equipped with automatic detection in the event of a
system defect (overload, short circuit, ...).
The central plate with the control button and the flush surround plate must be ordered separately.
To dim the lighting from a different location, you must use a rotary button extension instead of an NO push button.
You can connect up to five extra rotary button extensions (310-0200x) to this dimmer. The rotary button extension
must also be ordered separately. Consult the rotary button extension manual for more information about this product.
2. INSTALLATION
Danger: Disconnect all power before installing the dimmer. Do not connect the device to the mains voltage until
installation has been completed (including the central plate and flush surround plate).
Tip: Do not use mixed loads on one single dimmer.
Tip: Install the dimmer in an environment with a non-condensing atmospheric humidity (30 – 70%).
1. Connect the dimmer and the load(s) according to the wiring diagram below, depending on the number
of control points:

3. SETTINGS
3.1. Adjusting the dimmer settings according to the type of lamp
Manually adjust the first three DIP switches behind the control button according to the type of lamp that you want
to dim. Check the diagram below to find out the correct DIP switch settings for each type of lamp.

3.2. Selecting the profile for LED lamps
In order to select the right profile for the installed LED lamps, you proceed as follows:
1. Try out profiles LED 1 and LED 2, one after the other.
If one of these profiles works properly, go to § 3.8.
2. Otherwise, try out profiles Incandescent Lamp or Halogen Lamp with electronic transformer.
If one of these profiles works properly, go to § 3.8.
3. Otherwise, this is an indication that the installed LED lamps need quite a lot of energy in order to come on.
It is therefore advisable to choose profile LED 3 or LED 4, as these profiles are equipped with a boost function
that ensures that when switched on, the lamps receive enough energy before switching to the desired
dimming level (with activated memory function).
Below you will find an example of the pros and cons of the latter two options:
Profile Incandescent Lamp or Halogen Lamp
with electronic transformator
Advantage The lamp isn't bright when switched on
Disadvantages
• The lamp cannot be dimmed to its
minimum level
• In certain cases, the difference in
attainable light output is limited
Switch the dimmer off and on after setting the minimum level. If the lamp is not on (with activated memory
function), select a lamp profile with boost function (CFLi1, CFLi2, LED 3 or LED 4), see § 3.1.
3.3. Selecting the minimum light intensity
In order to achieve the optimal dimming level of each lamp, adjust the minimum light intensity.
