DESCRIPTION
LED illumination is getting more popular. By dimming the output of the LED strips (12V or 24V series) an attractive atmosphere can be created. A dimmer module is placed between the external LED power supply and the LED strip. The use of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) greatly reduces heat development inside the dimmer module compared to linear regulators.
CHARACTERISTICS
Dimmer:
• Suitable for dimming 12 or 24V LED strips or low voltage lamps.
• Can also be used to regulate the speed of DC motors (10 to 30V)
• Not suitable for LED lamps with built-in driving electronics
• Maximum consumption: 5A (60W@12V or 150W@30V)
• High efficiency by using PWM
• PWM frequency: ca. 100Hz
• Gradually switching on and off (ca. 1.5s)
• Dimming from 0 to 100% in ca. 4 seconds
• Short-circuit proof
• Thermal protected
• Protected against wrongly connected power supply by a 20A fuse
• Required external power supply: 10 to 30Vdc / 5A
• Power supply dimmer galvanically separated from the Velbus power supply

Control:
• by placing multiple pushbuttons in parallel
• de-chattering of the pushbutton input: 65ms
• local control on the module
• through Velbus instructions or through pushbuttons connected to the Velbus system
• Operating functions:
o by pushbuttons that switch the LEDs on (full brightness) o by pushbuttons that switch off the LEDs o by pushbuttons that switch the LEDs on (full brightness) or off o by pushbuttons that activate the selected mode on the module o by pushbuttons that make the LEDs shine more bright o by pushbuttons that make the LEDs shine less bright o by pushbuttons that create a atmosphere o by slider controls that turn on the LEDs with the desired brightness

The dimmer module can be given a designation with a maximum of 16 characters.
The dimmer module can transmit following messages:
• dimmer status
• local pushbutton status
• dimmer type LED (including software version)
• dimmer name
• local pushbutton name
• the communication error counter
• memory content
The dimmer module can transmit following instructions:
• to change the status of the LEDs on a pushbutton module
• to switch off the LEDs on a pushbutton module
• to switch on the LEDs on a pushbutton module
• to make the LEDs on a pushbutton module flash slowly
• to make the LEDs on a pushbutton module flash fast
• to make the LEDs on a pushbutton module flash very fast
The dimmer module can receive following messages:
• the status of a pushbutton module
• the status of a slider control
The dimmer module can receive following instructions:
• set the dimming value
• start timer
• request dimmer status
• inquire module type and software version
• read the communication error counter
• request dimmer name and local push button name
• request memory content
• overwrite memory content
• switch off pushbutton indication LED

LED INDICATION
PWM LED: brightness indication for dim position
On LED: on when input power supply is present
Rx LED: on when receiving Velbus data
Mode LED:
• off when LED strip is off
• on when LED strip lit with steady
brightness
• flashes fast while brighness of LED strip changes
• flashes slow when switch-off delay is active
• flashes very fast when dimmer module is in learning mode
• flashes 2x short upon detecting a communication error
Tx LED: on when transmitting Velbus data

USE WITHOUT VELBUS
The dimmer module can be used in combination with a direct current power supply (12 or 24V) to dim LED strips (12 or 24V). The function of the connected pushbuttons is set via the ‘Mode’ rotary switch. The switch-off time (or dim time in slowly on/off dimmer mode) is set via the ‘Time’ rotary switch. The address must be set to ‘00’ to disable communication with the Velbus system.

Addressing
When the Velbus is not used, the address must be set to ‘00’ to disable communication with the Velbus system.
Remove the cover.
Set both ‘ADDR’ rotary switches to ‘0’.
ADDR = 00

Setting the operating mode
The function of the pushbuttons is determined by the position of the ‘Mode’ and ‘Time’ rotary switches.
MODE rotary switch
0 : start/stop timer 1 : staircase lighting timer 2 : dimmer 3 : dimmer with memory function 4 : multiple position dimmer 5 : slowly on dimmer 6 : slowly off dimmer 7 : slowly on/off dimmer
TIME rotary switch
0 : instant control 1 : 5 seconds 2 : 10 seconds 3 : 15 seconds 4 : 30 seconds 5 : 1 minute 6 : 2 minutes 7 : 5 minutes 8 : 10 minutes 9 : 15 minutes A : 30 minutes B : 1 hour C : 2 hours D : 5 hours E : 24 hours F : -

Depending on the setting of the ‘MODE’ rotary switch the dimmer module will act as follows:
MODE Operating mode Description
0 Start/stop timer Pushing the pushbutton will switch on the LED strip. When
the set time (see ‘TIME’ switch) expires the LED strip is switched off. Pushing the pushbutton while the LED strip is already on will switch it off immediately.
1 Staircase lighting timer Pushing the pushbutton will switch on the LED strip. When
the set time (see ‘TIME’ switch) expires the LED strip brightness will slowly diminish to be completely off after 30 seconds. Pushing the pushbutton while the LED strip is already on will restart the timer.
Dimmer A short push will switch on the LED strip (full brightness).
2
Another short push when the LED strip is already on will switch it off. Push and hold will dim the LED strip up to maximum or down to minimum brightness. The next push will dim in the opposite direction When the set time (see ‘TIME’ switch) expires the LED strip is switched off.
3 Dimmer with memory function A short push will switch on the LED strip (brightness as
memorized since last use). Another short push when the LED strip is already on will switch it off. Push and hold will dim the LED strip up to maximum or down to minimum brightness. The next push will dim in the opposite direction. When the set time (see ‘TIME’ switch) expires the LED strip is switched off.
4 Multiple position dimmer Pushing the pushbutton will switch on the LED strip (full
brightness). Every next push within 5 seconds after the previous will change brightness by 25%. When the LED strip is on and the previous push occurred more than 5 seconds earlier, a push will switch off the LED strip. When the set time (see ‘TIME’ switch) expires the LED strip is switched off.
5 Slowly on dimmer Pushing the pushbutton will slowly turn on the LED strip to
full brightness. The duration to achieve maximum brightness is determined by the ‘TIME’ switch. Pushing the pushbutton while the LED strip is already on will switch it off immediately.
6 Slowly off dimmer Pushing the pushbutton will switch on the LED strip to full
brightness. Pushing the pushbutton when the LED strip is on will slowly decrease brightness until the LED strip is off. The duration to switch the LED strip to off is determined by the ‘TIME’ switch. Pushing the pushbutton during decreasing brightness will turn the LED strip back to full brightness.
7 Slowly on/off dimmer Pushing the pushbutton will slowly turn on the LED strip to
full brightness. Pushing the pushbutton when the LED strip is on will slowly decrease brightness until the LED strip is off. The duration to achieve maximum brightness or to switch the LED strip off is determined by the ‘TIME’ switch.
Remarks:
When the ‘TIME’ rotary switch is set to ‘0’ the dimmer module will always work in instant control, no matter what operating mode is set. On other words, the LED strip will light up as soon as the pushbutton is pushed. When the ‘TIME’ rotary switch is set to ‘F’ the dimmer module will not automatically switch off or the dimming speed will be maximal when the module is set to slowly on, slowly off or slowly on/off mode.
