The device will be destroyed.
Always connect outputs switched in parallel to the same outer phase conductor.

• Delivery state: The outputs can be operated with manual control.
  In the “Universal” operating mode, the dimming actuator only calibrates itself again after disconnection of the load and also after commissioning using the ETS.

• Capacitive-inductive mixed load is not permitted.

• For LED leading edge phase control: Connect a maximum of 2 electronic transformers per output.

• Connect 600 Watt LED lamps or compact fluorescent lamps at most per
  16 ampere circuit breaker. When connecting transformers, observe the data of the transformer manufacturer.

Only for “Comfort” version:

• Several dimmer outputs can be combined for dimming greater lamp loads. Only utilise parallel-switched outputs up to 95 % each. Do not connect any compact fluorescent lamps to dimmer outputs switched in parallel.
• Observe delivery state. Before connecting parallel outputs and switching on, program the dimming actuator with ETS to the changed output configuration.
• Do not expand parallel-switched dimmer outputs with power packs.

Commissioning

Safe-state mode
The safe-state mode stops the execution of the loaded application program.

Only the system software of the device is still functional. ETS diagnosis func-tions and programming of the device are possible. Manual operation is not possible.

Activating safe-state mode

• Switch off the bus voltage or remove the KNX device connection terminal.
• Wait about 15 s.
• Press and hold down the programming button.
• Switch on the bus voltage or attach the KNX device connection terminal. Re-lease the programming button only after the programming LED starts flashing slowly.
  The safe-state mode is activated.
  By briefly pressing the programming button again, the programming mode can also be switched on and off in the safe-state mode as usual. If the program- ming mode is active, the programming LED stops flashing.

Deactivating safe-state mode

Switch off bus voltage (wait approx. 15 s) or carry out ETS programming.

Master reset
The master reset restores the basic device settings (physical address 15.15.255, firmware remains in place). The device must then be recommissioned with the ETS. Manual operation is possible.
In secure operation: A master reset deactivates device security. The device can then be recommissioned with the device certificate.

Performing a master reset
Precondition: The safe-state mode is activated.

• Press and hold down the programming button for > 5 s.
  • The programming LED flashes quickly.
  • The device performs a master reset, restarts and is ready for operation again after approx. 5 s.

Restoring the device to factory settings

Devices can be reset to factory settings with the Gira ETS Service App. This function uses the firmware contained in the device that was active at the time of delivery (de-livered state). Restoring the factory settings causes the devices to lose their physical address and configuration.

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: HV-LED trailing edge phase control dimming principle does not optimally match the connected lamps.
    Check operation in the “HV-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 all outputs from the mains, switch-off the corresponding circuit breakers.
• HV-LED trailing edge phase control: Reduce the connected load. Exchange lamps for another type.
• HV-LED leading edge phase control: Reduce the connected load. Check the operation in the “HV-LED trailing edge phase control” setting. Exchange lamps for another type.
• Let device cool down for at least 15 minutes. Check installation situation, en-sure cooling, e.g. provide distance from surrounding devices.

Cause 2: Overvoltage protection has tripped.

HV-LED trailing edge phase control: Check the operation in the “HV-LED lead- ing edge phase control” setting, reduce the connected load as well if neces- sary.

Exchange lamps for another type.

The response of the surge protection can be signalled by sending a short-cir- cuit telegram or can be determined by polling the “short-circuit” communication object.

Cause 3: short-circuit in output circuit

Disconnect all outputs from the mains.
Eliminate short-circuit.
Switch on mains voltage to the outputs 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.

• Manual control with button field not possible

  • Cause 1: Manual control has not been programmed.
    Program manual control.

  • Cause 2: Manual control via bus disabled.
    Enable manual control.

• None of the outputs can be operated.

  • Cause 1: All of the outputs are disabled.
    Cancel disabling.

  • Cause 2: Manual mode active.
    Deactivate manual mode (switch off continuous manual mode).

  • Cause 3: Application software missing or faulty.
    Check programming and correct.

• All outputs off and not possible to switch on

  • Cause 1: bus voltage failure.
    Check bus voltage.

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

• 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.
