DIM-5 | Controlled dimmer

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides technical specifications and operational guidelines for two dimmer models, DIM-5 and DIM-14, designed for dimming incandescent bulbs and halogen lights. These devices are suitable for use in corridors, stairways, and other areas requiring controlled lighting.

Specifications:

Voltage Range: AC 230 V / 50 Hz
Output: Contactless, using triac for DIM-5 and MOSFET for DIM-14
Current Rating: 2 A
Load Capacity: Up to 500 VA for DIM-5 and up to 300 W (short term 500 W) for DIM-14
Operating Temperature: -20 °C to +55 °C for DIM-5, -20 °C to +35 °C for DIM-14
Protection: Overheating protection with LED indication
Mounting: DIN rail EN 60715
Standards: EN 60669-2-1, EN 61010-1

Functionality:

Designed for dimming and switching lights with control inputs for push-buttons.
Short press turns lights on/off, while a longer press (>0.5s) adjusts brightness.
Stores last brightness level in memory when switched off.
Allows parallel connection of control buttons.

Installation Recommendations:

Leave a gap of at least 0.5 module (approx. 9 mm) for cooling.
Do not connect inductive and capacitive loads simultaneously for DIM-14.

Additional Information:

LED output indication available at any brightness level.
Protection against overvoltage and overheating is included.
Recommended back-up fuse: T 2.5 A.

DIM-5 | Controlled dimmer EAN code DIM-5/230 V: 8595188115612 Supply terminals: Output • Designated for dimming el. bulbs, halogen lights and halogen lights with winding transformers. • For switching and dimming lights in corridors, stairways... control input for push-buttons (parallel connection possible). • Short press turns light on/off, longer press (> 0.5 s) provides dim up / dim down. • When switched off, brightness level is stored in a memory and when ON again it restores last brightness level. • Voltage range: AC 230 V. • Contactless output, triac 2 A / 500 VA. • LED output indication (with any level of brightness). • Possibility to connect control buttons in parallel. • 1-MODULE, DIN rail mounting. • Clamp terminals. • Protection against over-heating inside the product - switches output off + signalizes overheating by LED flashing. Current rating: Recommendation for mounting: leave a gap of min. 0.5 module (approx. 9 mm/ 0.4”) on side of the device to ensure better cooling of the device.
