b) Connection and Operation
-
The product‘s design complies with protection class I. Only an earthed mains socket connected to the public power supply may be used as power supply to the product.
-
The mains socket into which the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter is plugged must be easily accessible.
The product is equipped with an enhanced protection against accidental contact.
An integrated mechanism will release the holes of the receptacle only, if the two prongs of a power plug are inserted into the two holes at once.
Take special caution when children are around. Children cannot recognize the danger arising from the incorrect use of electrical devices. There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock! -
The product is only intended for use in dry indoor locations. No part of the product should become damp or wet; never handle it if your hands are wet! Never place the product in direct vicinity of a bathroom, shower, bathtub or the like. Lethal hazard due to electric shock!
-
Use the product only in a temperate climate, never in a tropical climate.
-
Do not operate the device in environments where there are high levels of dust, flammable gases, vapours or solvents. There is a danger of fire and explosion!
-
Never operate the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter in a vehicle.
-
Do not connect the product to the power supply immediately after it has been transferred from a cold room into a warm one (e.g., during transport). The conden-sation that forms might destroy the device. Moreover, there is danger of electric shock! Allow the product to reach room temperature. Wait until the condensation has evaporated. This might take several hours. Only after this should the product be plugged into the power supply and put into use.
-
Never pull out a mains plug that is plugged into the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter by pulling on its cable. Always pull the plug out of the front socket by gripping the area provided for this purpose on its sides.
-
Do not overload the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter. Observe the power rating in the chapter “Technical Data”.
-
Always unplug the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter from the mains socket before cleaning it or when the device is not being used for a long time.
-
Never pour any liquids above or next to the product. You run the risk of causing a fire or a fatal electric shock.
However, if liquid has entered the device, immediately turn off the power supply to the mains socket to which the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter is connected (turn
off the fuse / circuit breaker / residual current operated circuit breaker of the associated circuits).
Only then can you unplug the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter from the mains socket and contact a specialist. Do not use the product any longer. -
Do not connect in series! This can lead to overloading of the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter! There is a risk of fire!
-
Do not operate while covered! At higher connected loads, the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter will get hot, which may lead to overheating posing a risk of fire, if it is covered!
-
Voltage-free only, if the plug is unplugged!
-
If the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter is damaged, do not touch it; there is a danger to life from electric shock! First, switch off the mains voltage to the socket, to which the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter is connected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse or switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch, so that all poles of the mains socket are disconnected).
Then you can remove the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter from the mains socket. Do not use a damaged LED mains outlet dimmer adapter any more, dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way.
Preparation
Type labels in different languages are included in the package. Stick the language label in your language over the German language label on the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter.
Getting Started, Use
Follow the safety instructions and the other information in this operation manual!
- Turn off the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter by turning the control knob counter-clockwise until it stops and you can hear a click.
You should always switch off the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter by means of the control knob first, before you plug it into a mains socket and connect the lamp!
- Plug the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter into a standard earthed mains socket (wall socket).
- Connect a suitable lamp that you can dim to the front of the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter.
Check the operating instructions of the lamp which you intend to connect
whether it is possible to dim the lamp. Note the minimum and maximum load
capacity in the
chapter “Technical Data”.
The LED mains outlet dimmer adapter switches off when overloaded. Once the
overload has been removed (and the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter perhaps has
cooled off), the LED plug-in dimmer can be used again.
If the lamp you are using comes with its own dimmer, do not connect it to the
LED mains outlet dimmer adapter. This also applies if the lamp has a USB
charging output for example.
- When you turn the control knob to the right in a clockwise direction the lamp connected will switch on (if necessary, switch on the switch of the lamp).
- The light of the connected lamp becomes ever brighter, the more you turn the knob to the right.
- Turn off the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter by turning the control knob to the left in a counter-clockwise direction until it stops and you can hear a click.
At times the light cannot be dimmed properly, although the manufacturer has
marked the lamp, which you have connected to the LED mains outlet dimmer
adapter, as “dimmable”.
It can happen that the light flickers at low brightness or flickering may
occur at a particular dimmer position.
Some LED lights (although marked as “dimmable”) cannot be dimmed under a
certain minimum brightness (for example, dimming is only possible between 60%
and 100%, but when it is less than 60%).
This is not a fault of the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter, but due to
technicalities in the lamp’s electronics. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee
that the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter will dim a connected lamp properly
due to the vast variety of different products.
Troubleshooting
The lamp connected is flickering
- Check whether the lamp can be dimmed (note the operating instructions for the lamp or, if applicable, the description on the lamp).
- Use a higher/different dimmer position.
- Pull out the lamp’s power plug from the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter and turn the plug by 180° and try plugging it back in (this reverses “L” and “N” of the lamp’s power plug). Check again the dimming function of the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter with the lamp connected.
- Pull out the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter from the mains socket and turn the plug by 180° and try plugging it back in (this reverses “L” and “N” of the lamp’s power plug). Check again the dimming function of the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter with the lamp connected.
The lamp connected does not light
- Check whether the lamp can be dimmed (note the operating instructions for the lamp or, if applicable, the description on the lamp).
- Use a higher/different dimmer position.
- Switch on the lamp using the lamp’s own switch.
- Use a different lamp. This lamp is not compatible with the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter.
After the LED lamp or the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter are turned off, the LEDs of the LED lamp are still glowing
- Plug the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter into the socket with the plug turned by 180° and/ or the lamp’s power plug into the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter. This reverses “L” and “N” respectively.
The LED mains outlet dimmer adapter gets warm
- The LED mains outlet dimmer adapter becomes warm, especially when lamps with higher power ratings are connected. This is normal.
Care and Cleaning
Before cleaning the product, unplug the lamp from the LED mains outlet dimmer
adapter. Disconnect then the LED mains outlet dimmer adapter from the power
supply by unplugging it completely from the mains socket.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents, cleaning alcohol or other chemical
solutions, since these could damage the housing or even impair operation.
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product.
