The dimmer will turn off altogether if it is overloaded in mode 1 or mode 3. In this case the dimmer will switch back automatically to mode 1. Some types of LED light will draw too much current in mode 2. The dimmer is designed to protect itself against excess current. The dimmer can be operated normally in the new mode.) The lights will flash 3 times or twice to show which mode the dimmer is in. For mode 2, just turn the knob fully anti-clockwise.Ħ. To select mode 3, first turn the knob fully anti-clockwise then fully clockwise. Off – on – off – on, roughly once per second.ĥ. Switch on and set the dimmer knob to the maximum position (turn fully clockwise).Ģ. Turn the lights off and back on again. If you are having difficulty seeing the programming steps, you can replace oneLED lamp with a halogen one for the duration of the programming in order to see the steps more clearly.ġ. It has been noted that some LEDs do not show the programming as well as others. You may be able to improve the performance of your lamps by changing the driving mode to mode 3, or with some types of lamp mode 2. Continue to use the dimmer as normal, with your new minimum brightness. The lights will step up and down in brightness to show that the dimmer has returned to normal operation.Ĩ. Leave the dimmer in this position.ħ. After 3 seconds the dimmer will notice that you have stopped adjusting the minimum. Adjust the brightness that you are happy with as the minimum. The lights will come on and allow you to adjust the minimum brightness.Ħ. The lights will step up and down in brightness to show that the dimmer is in configuration mode, then either stay at a low light level or go off.ĥ. Off – on – off – on, roughly once per second.Ĥ. Off – on, roughly once per second.ģ. Repeat step 2 at least twice more. Switch on and set the dimmer knob to the minimum position (turn fully anti-clockwise).Ģ. If the lights are brighter than you would like when the dimmer is set to minimum, you can try reducing the minimum brightness setting of the dimmer.ġ. If your lights are flickering when they are dimmed to a low level you can increase the minimum brightness setting of the dimmer, which may prevent this from happening. (You may also need to refer to these instructions if you change your lights to a different type at a later date so please keep them for reference). Additionally, the minimum brightness setting of the dimmer can be adjusted to achieve the optimum dimming range for a particular load as follows. You can always reset to trailing-edge mode 1. This mode is the best one for most types of lighting but for some lighting loads you may be able to improve the dimming performance by changing the driving mode.

When you first install the dimmer switch it will automatically default to trailing-edge mode 1. Optimising the performance of your dimmer switch Your guarantee is not affected if you have an older lighting circuit protected by fuse wire links. These can be rated at 6A, 10A or 16A (preferably 6A for lighting circuits). This product complies with European Safety Regulations (IEC 669-2- 1 or BSEN 6) when used in lighting circuits containing MCBs (miniature circuit breakers). To optimise the dimming range for LED lighting in particular the minimum brightness setting of the dimmer can be adjusted. To change the mode, follow the instructions under “Programming” below. This dimmer can also be set to run in leading edge (MODE 2) with certain types of LED light. Some other lighting loads, including some types of LED, perform best with leading-edge control. It is also gentler on the load.Īn alternative trailing-edge mode (MODE 3) may improve the performance of some dimmable LEDs and dimmable CFLs. This versatile mode is suitable for most types of lighting, including many dimmable LEDs. Our dimmers are set to run in trailing-edge mode (MODE 1) by default. IMPORTANT Read ALL sections below before installing this dimmer switch. Use only on an electricity supply of 200-250 volts AC. The integrated Trailing-edge dimmer modules that we use are supplied by V-Pro.
