Description

Description THESE DIMMERS WILL NOT DIM LEDs. Varilight 1 or 2-Way Push-On/Off Rotary Dimmer 60-400W (1 Grid Space) (To fit Varilight PowerGrid) Varilight Leading Edge 1 or 2 Way 400W Power Grid Dimmer Black with Thermal Protection ………………………………………….. VARILIGHT Dimmer Switches have an industry-wide reputation for exceptional performance, long life and innovation at attractive prices. ………………………………………….. The VARILIGHT V-Dim Series Dimmer, like all our products, is designed to meet the latest European Safety Legislation. ………………………………………….. It is important to select the correct dimmer switch for your application, so please read the following information carefully, if need be look at PDF manuals, and if you are still unsure, then contact us. ………………………………………….. Appearance, Function and Applications V-Plus dimmers are recommended for use with halogen loads. The soft-start feature gently increases the power supplied to a lamp when the dimmer is first turned on, allowing the lamp to warm up gradually, reducing failures caused by stress on halogen lamps when they are switched on. This dimmer is push on/off and rotary controlled, meaning to turn the dimmer on or off simply push the dimmer knob in and it will click back out; then to turn the brightness up or down, rotate the knob clockwise and anti-clockwise (Knobs are sold seperately). ………………………………………….. V-Dim Push on/off dimmers are suitable for either 1 way or 2 way circuits. ………………………………………….. THIS SWITCH IS SUITABLE FOR Up to 400W of Mains incandescent (GLS bulbs and spotlights),GU10 or similar mains halogen bulbs, Good quality dimmable electronic low voltage transformers ………………………………………….. THIS SWITCH IS NOT SUITABLE FOR LED lighting [Choose V-Pro or V-Com. For more information please visit www.varilight.co.uk/leds], Wirewound or Toroidal Transformers, Non-dimmable fluorescent bulbs and tubes, Electric motors or fans ………………………………………….. TRANSFORMERS When using this dimmerswitch to control low voltage lighting transformers, choose transformers with a maximum rating close to the rating of the bulbs they supply (eg. Use a 60VA transformer to control a 50W low voltage bulb). Load at 75% of the maximum load specified on the product label adding the VA ratings of the transformers, not the wattages of the bulbs. Do not overload the transformers. Note: Certain transformers may not behave according to their power rating when used with a dimmer. An overload will always result in the safety features of this dimmerswitch turning down the brightness. If this happens and you have followed these instructions then it is likely that your transformers present a bigger load. In this case, change your transformers to ones which do not appear as an overload, remove one (or some) transformer(s) from the circuit or choose a higher rated dimmer instead. ………………………………………….. *WARNING: At maximum loading some light bulbs may overload the dimmer because they present a higher load than their rating. If in doubt, reduce the load. ………………………………………….. -To clean product we recommend only using a microfibre cloth. – Power Grid PDF – Compatibility 2013 PDF
