The Vitesse modular system is a cost effective method of providing power and control for lighting installations in industrial, commercial and retail buildings. The system is designed for ease of installation: mains input is connected using the
spacious wiring compartment; control inputs and outputs are pluggable using industry standard connectors. The modular
approach allows for between 4 and 16 luminaires to be connected. The VITM6 is for use with dimming luminaires. The
VITM6-SELVMOD converter provides SELV switch inputs to allow digital dimming whilst also overcoming the requirements of the IEE 17th edition wiring regulations cost effectively.

Warning. This device works at mains voltage. Be sure to take care when working with electricity.
The box should be fixed on a smooth, flat surface or using drop rod fixings attached to channel nuts.
Ensure that there is easy access to the wiring compartment and all connectors once the box is in-situ.

VITM6-SELVMOD Dimming Module
Features
No mains voltage switch wires routed along walls removes the need for RCD protection under the IEE 17th Edition
regulations.
The VITM6-SELVMOD module allows switches in parallel for 2-way and intermediate switching.
The same switch can be used when multiple Vitesse Modular boxes are connected to different phases.
Selectable for DALI or DSI digital dimming control. Luminaires must be fitted with suitable dimming ballasts; up to 20
ballasts can be controlled.
Two speeds of dimming rate selectable.
