MASTER dimmer 230 V~ 50/60 Hz for incandescent lamps 40-500 W
electronic transformers 40-300 VA, CFL lamps 10-200 W, LED lamps 3-200 W,
for LED electronic power supplies, protection fuse, installation on DIN rails
(60715 TH35), occupies 4 modules size 17.5 mm.
ON/OFF switch and adjustment with two built-in buttons. MOSFET+TRIAC microprocessor
technology, works in both LE (Leading Edge) and TE (Trailing Edge) modes. MASTER function,
protection fuse. The device receives commands directly from the Busbar and is able to control
the load directly. It can also control up to 3 SLAVE dimmers for DIN rails (01871) or flush-
mounted ones (20137, 14137, 19137, 16604). No buzzing whatsoever.
IMPORTANT: Lamps controllable from a single master or slave dimmer must all be the
same. All controllable loads must be declared DIMMERABLE by the manufacturer. Check
the type of compatible dimmering on the lamp package: LE (Leading Edge) or TE (Trailing
Edge). If it is not specified, the lamp can operate in both modes (chosen at the discretion
of the installer).
Dimmering with Leading Edge mode
CHARACTERISTICS.
• Rated supply voltage TP Busbar: 29 V
• Rated supply voltage mains: 230 V~, 50/60 Hz
• Absorption from TP Busbar: 15 mA
• Dissipated power: 5.5 W
• Terminals: N neutral,
load, L phase, S synchronization, TP Busbar
• Protection fuse F2.5AH 250V
• Functions that can be accomplished with the dimmer:
- Switching on, off and dimmering
- Changing absolute brightness
- Actuating/saving scenarios
- "Stair lights" operation
- Enabling "Flash Start" mode for CFL lamps
- "Ramp" operation
- Switch-off delay and warning function
- Phase cutting: LE/TE
• Local controls:
Pressing the
button enables using the local buttons. All messages from the busbar are ignored.
- Briefly pressing the button
: ON control
- Briefly pressing the button
: OFF control
- Pressing and holding down the button
- Pressing and holding down the button
In normal operation (that is when the commands are sent over the bus) pressing the buttons
for the outputs is ignored.
• Protection against short-circuiting when turning on with flashing blow-out indicator.
• Thermal protection with flashing blow-out indicator.
• MASTER-SLAVE function: paying attention not to exceed maximum power controllable by
each dimmer. A MASTER device can have up to 3 SLAVE dimmers (art. 01871, 20137, 14137,
19137, 16604) for a maximum total load of 2000 W (VA) corresponding to 500 W/VA max
connected to each of the 4 devices.
• Installation on EN50022 rails, occupies 4 modules of 17.5 mm - grey RAL 7035.
• Not compatible with By-me control panels with 2 modules and flush-mounted (art.
20510, 16950 and 14510).

- With the red LED on, the control panel will configure the functional unit; at the end of this
operation the red LED will go out.
INSTALLATION RULES.
Installation should be carried out in compliance with the current regulations regarding the instal-
lation of electrical systems in the country where the products are installed.
• It should be used in dry, dust-free places at a temperature of between -5°C and +45°C.
• The lamps connected to the master or slave must all be the same.
• Not suitable for controlling motors (e.g. fans, ventilators).
• The rated power level should never be exceeded.
• Overloading, power surges and short-circuits may irreparably damage dimmers. Before
installation check the circuit carefully and eliminate any of the above causes.
)
• The dimmer does not have a mechanical circuit breaker in the main circuit and so is not
C
galvanically separated. The circuit load should be considered always powered.
For further instructions see the manual enclosed with the control panel.
For all details on possible installation architectures, please refer to SI-Connection dia-
grams for the relevant item code at www.vimar.com -> Products -> Product catalogue.
