Attention: The dimmer is never electrically separated from the mains voltage. All parts remain connected to the
mains voltage even if the load (e.g. the light) is off.
4.3. Memory function
Use
The standard setting of the dimmer is without memory function. You can use the fourth DIP switch behind the
control button to activate or deactivate this function:
DIP switch position
DIP switch up
DIP switch down
The last dimming level set before switching off the dimmer is saved in the permanent memory of the dimmer if
the memory function is activated. In the event of a power failure, this value will not be lost.
If the memory function is activated, the dimmer switches on for the first time at the default dimming level chosen
by the manufacturer. Thereafter, the lighting will be dimmed at the last set value.
Dimming dimmable economy lamps with memory function
The dimming profile is set up so that the dimmer is first switched on to its maximum light intensity for a short
time and then returns to the dimming level saved in memory. All economy lamps can be switched on like this.
5. TROUBLESHOOTING
The operation of the dimmer can be disturbed by signals that are sent over the mains. This is not a defect.

Action
Connect the device to the mains
voltage.
Replace the wire.
Connect the load correctly using the
wiring diagram.
Replace the lamp or wire.
Increase the minimum dimming level
or use a profile with boost function
(LED 3 or LED 4).
Choose another profile and adjust the
minimum dimming level.
Check if the lamp is dimmable. This
is shown on the packaging by the
following symbol:
Check whether the load is too high.
When doing this, keep in mind the
reactive power of ferromagnetic
transformers.
Check the temperature in the flush-
mounting box (max. 35 °C).
Check whether mixed loads are
being used.
For LED lamps, use the profiles in the
following order of preference:
- LED 1
- Incandescent lamp
- LED 3 (with boost function)
Check if the lamp is dimmable. This
is shown on the packaging by the
following symbol:
Increase the minimum dimming level
or use a profile with boost function
(LED 3 or LED 4).
Choose another profile and adjust the
minimum dimming level.
Place a PLC filter (Ripple Control
Rejector)
Replace the lamp if it flashes during
dimming the light up and down.
