Troubleshooting

Connected LED lamps or compact fluorescent lamps switch off in the lowest dimming position or flicker
The set minimum brightness is too low.

Increase minimum brightness.

Connected LED lamps or compact fluorescent lamps flicker
Cause 1 : Lamps are not dimmable.
Check manufacturer’s instructions.
Exchange lamps for another type.

Cause 2: Dimming principle and lamps do not optimally match.
For HV-LED: Check operation in another dimming principle, reduce connected load as well if necessary.
For LV-LED: Check the lamp operating device and replace as necessary.
With the “Universal” setting: Define the dimming principle manually.

Connected HV-LED lamps or compact fluorescent lamps in the lowest dimming position are too bright; dimming range is too small
Cause 1: The set minimum brightness is too high.

• Reduce minimum brightness.

Cause 2: LED dimming principle (trailing edge phase control) does not optimally match the connected lamps.

• Check operation in the “LED leading edge phase control” setting, reduce connected load as well if necessary.
• Exchange lamps for another type.

Output has switched off.
Cause 1: Overheating protection has tripped.

• Disconnect output from mains, switch off associated circuit breakers.
• LED (trailing edge phase control): Reduce the connected load. Exchange lamps for another type.
• LED (leading edge phase control): Reduce the connected load. Check operation in the setting “LED trailing edge phase control”. Exchange lamps for an-other type.
• Let device cool down for at least 15 minutes. Check installation situation, ensure cooling, e.g. provide distance from surrounding devices.

Cause 2: Overvoltage protection has tripped.

• LED (trailing edge phase control): Check operation in the setting “LED leading edge phase control”, reduce connected load as well if necessary.
• Exchange lamps for another type.

Cause 3: short-circuit in output circuit

• Disconnect the output from the mains supply.
• Eliminate short-circuit.
• Switch on mains voltage again. Switch the affected output off and on again.

When a short-circuit occurs the affected output switches off. Automatic restart when short-circuit is eliminated within 100 ms (inductive load) or 7 seconds (capacitive or ohmic load). After that lasting switch-off.
When a short-circuit occurs during the calibration process, the load calibrates itself again after the short-circuit is eliminated.

Cause 4: load failure.

• Check load, replace lamp. For inductive transformers, check primary fuse and replace if necessary.

Output off and not possible to switch on
Cause: bus voltage failure.
Check bus voltage.

Luminaires flicker or buzz, proper dimming not possible, device buzzes
Cause: wrong dimming principle set.

Installation or commissioning error. Disconnect device and luminaire, switch off circuit breaker.

Check installation and correct.
If the wrong dimming principle has been preselected: Set correct dimming principle.
If dimming actuator calibrates itself incorrectly, e.g. with highly inductive mains or long load cables: preselect correct dimming principle with commissioning.

LED lamp is dimly lit when dimmer is switched off

Cause: LED lamp is not optimally suited for this dimmer.
Use a compensation module, see accessories.
Use another type of LED lamp or an LED lamp of another manufacturer.

Parameter list

Parameters that can be set via the GPA:

Output

Load type| universal (with automatic calibration procedure) electr. transformer (capacitive / trailing edge phase control) conv. transformer (inductive / leading edge phase control)

LED (trailing edge phase control)

LED (leading edge phase control)

---|---
The dimming principle of the dimming channel is specified here. universal (with automatic calibration procedure):

The dimming channel automatically sets the connected load type. After programming, after bus voltage return (without mains voltage) or after switching on the mains voltage supply of a load output, the actuator calibrates itself automatically to the connected load. The calibration procedure becomes noticeable during ohmic loads by a brief flicker and lasts up to 10 seconds depending on the network conditions. electr. transformer (capacitive / trailing edge phase control):

The dimming channel is set to the trailing edge phase control principle. Ohmic loads or electronic transformers can be connected to the output. conv. transformer (inductive / leading edge phase control):

The dimming channel is set to the leading edge phase control principle. Conven- tional transformers can be connected to the output.

LED (trailing edge phase control):
The dimming channel is set to an optimized trailing edge phase control principle. HV LED or compact fluorescent lamps optimized for this dimming principle can be connected to the output.

LED (leading edge phase control):
The dimming channel is set to an optimized leading edge phase control principle. HV LED or compact fluorescent lamps optimized for this dimming principle can be connected to the output.

Minimum brightness| Level 1 (darker)
Level 2
…
Level 7
Level 8 (brighter)
---|---
The step value set here is a gauge for the minimum adjustable residual phase angle of the output signal.

The value set here cannot be undershot in any switched-on operating state of the dimming channel, i.e. under no circumstances can the light be dimmed darker than the value set here.

Switch-on brightness| Fixed switch-on brightness
Last brightness value
---|---
Here you can specify the brightness value with which the lamp is to be switched on by pressing the button briefly:

Fixed switch-on brightness
In this case, you can select a fixed value (1 – 100%) in the “Switch-on brightness value” field that opens.

Last brightness value
The lamp is switched on with the brightness value that was active and saved internally before it was last switched off.

Switch-on brightness value| 1
5
…
100
---|---
Here you can specify the switch-on brightness.

This parameter is only available if the setting “Fixed switch-on brightness” has been selected for the parameter “Switch-on brightness”.

The value set here cannot be overshot in any switched-on operating state of the dimming channel, i.e. under no circumstances can the light be dimmed brighter than the value set here.

This parameter is used for setting the duration of the switch-on delay.

After receipt of an ON-telegram, the time that can be configured here is started. The lamp is switched on after the set time has elapsed.

A further ON-telegram during the switch-on delay time re-triggers the time, i.e. the time set here is started again.

An OFF-telegram received during the ON-delay will end the delay and sets the switching status to “OFF”.

This parameter is used for setting the duration of the switch-off delay.

After receipt of an OFF-telegram, the time that can be configured here is started. The lamp is switched off after the set time has elapsed.

A further OFF-telegram during the switch-off delay time re-triggers the time, i.e. the time set here is started again.

An ON-telegram received during the OFF-delay will end the delay and sets the switching status to “ON”.

The duration of the switch-on time for the staircase function is configured here. Once the time set here has elapsed, the lighting is switched off or (if configured) the pre-warning time is started.

The staircase function is only active if the function “Staircase” has been selected for the push-button of this dimming channel.

In accordance with DIN 18015-2, the pre-warning is intended to warn persons still on the staircase that the light will soon be switched off automatically.

The pre-warning time set here is added to the time set in the parameter “Staircase switch switch-off delay”.

As a pre-warning, a pre-warning brightness that is to apply before the channel switches off permanently can be set using the parameter “Dimming brightness value”. The pre-warning brightness is normally reduced in the brightness value compared to the switch-on brightness.

Dimming brightness value| 1
5
…
100
---|---
Here you can set the brightness value that is to apply during the pre-warning time. During the pre-warning time, the dimming channel is set to the configured brightness value.

This parameter is only available if a time has been entered for the parameter “Pre- warning time”.

This parameter sets the debouncing time individually for the input.

According to the time set here, the input signal at the input is evaluated with a delay.

Contact type| NO contact
NC contact
---|---
The contact type of the connected contact is defined here.

When closing the contact| No reaction Switch on Switch off
Toggle
---|---
This parameter determines the reaction when the contact connected to the input is closed.

This parameter determines the reaction when the contact connected to the input is opened.

The value for the temperature calibration can be entered here if the temperature measured by the connected sensor differs from the actual room temperature.

To determine the temperature deviation, the actual room temperature should be detected with a reference measurement using a calibrated temperature measuring device.

The measured value must be raised if the value measured by the sensor is below the actual temperature. The measured value must be lowered if the value measured by the sensor is above the actual temperature.
