Pinouts and cable conductor assignments are provided in 10. The RJ45 connectors are internally connected.

Note:
It is recommended that the Remote Override (On/Off) connections be maintained for correct operation of these services across the C-Bus network, even if they are not intended to be used.

First Power Up

Default Factory Setting of the dimmer

• By default, the integrated 200mA C-Bus Power supply is disabled. It can be enabled or disabled via the front panel and/or the SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission software.
• By default, all dimmer channels are set to Trailing Edge mode by default. The dimmer enables selecting the dimming mode per channel, Trailing edge (TE), or Leading edge (LE) compatible with the load changed via the front panel and/or the SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission software.
• Note: The dimmer channels do not automatically change mode when the connected load type is incompatible. If the connected load is incompatible with the currently selected dimming mode, the channel will shut down and indicate an error.
• By default, the C-Bus Clock Generator in the unit is disabled. It can be enabled or disabled via the front panel and/or the SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission software.

Note:
Channel indicators show channel status only when the channel is on.

• Refer to the diagnosis section (a) for information regarding other indications.
• Before operating the load, ensure its compatibility with the dimming mode and check the correctness of its wiring.

Load wiring check and Dimming Mode (TE/LE) Selection

• To check the wiring and operation of the connected load, short press (<0.5s) the channel button to toggle the state of the channel.
• The load should turn on, and the channel button will illuminate in the colour corresponding to the currently selected dimming mode (Yellow = TE, Green = LE).
• If the load does not turn on but the channel indicator stays green or yellow, check the wiring.
• If the selected mode is incompatible with the attached load, the channel may shut down and the indiator will slowly flash red, indicating a mode error.
• If the mode needs to be changed, press and hold the channel button for >10s. The channel will turn off briefly and turn on again in the opposite mode. Refer to diagnosis section (a).
• After the channels and load wiring on first power, the following Unit and C-Bus indicators are observed.

Unit Indicator 4   (G)

State/colour| Meaning
Green| Unit powered, C-Bus power supply Enabled
Yellow| Unit powered, C-Bus power supply Disabled
C-Bus Indicator 4   (F)
Solid (not

flashing)

| C-Bus Voltage OK (>20V)
Red| No C-Bus clock detected, Host Online
Green| C-Bus clock detected, Host Online
Yellow| C-Bus clock detected, Host Offline

Note: For more information on other indications, refer to the diagnosis section (c)

Switching of the inbuilt C-Bus power supply and C-Bus system clock if

required

Ensure adequate C-Bus power supply is enabled in the bus by referring to the indication on the unit and the bus design by checking the right amount of power supplies enabled. In case of low C-Bus bus power indication, switch the inbuilt C-Bus Power supply in the dimmer.

Note:
If the inbuilt switchable C-Bus power supply is enabled, the dimmer supplies power upto 200 mA to the network when connected to the mains.

How to enable/disable C-Bus power supply

• The integrated C-Bus Power Supply can be enabled or disabled via the front panel by performing a short press on the top right channel button whilst holding down the top left channel button to toggle the enabled state. Refer 9 (a)
• The enabled status of the integrated C-Bus Power Supply is shown on the Unit Indicator. Refer to diagnosis section (b).
• The C-Bus Indicator state shows the state of the network voltage. If the C-Bus Indicator is flashing or off, the network voltage is too low, meaning there is insufficient C-Bus Power. additional power supplies may need to be enabled.

NOTE:
It is important to ensure that no more than 2A of total C-Bus Power Supply capacity is enabled/connected to any one C-Bus network.

How to enable/disable the C-Bus system clock generator (if required)

• The system clock is used to synchronize data communication over a C-Bus network. If a system clock is required, it can be enabled from the SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission software and the indicator buttons on the dimmer.
• The integrated C-Bus Clock generator can be enabled or disabled via the front panel by performing a short press on the top second-to-right button whilst holding down the top left channel button to toggle the enabled state. Refer 9 (b)

Configuration and Commissioning

• Configuration and Commissioning of the unit is done by the C-Bus connection using the “SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission” software which can be downloaded from the URL: http://www.se.com.
• The unit can be powered by the USB Type-C connection to perform the configuration prior to the installation.

Local Override

• The channel indicator buttons on the front of the dimmer toggle the corresponding channel on and off, providing local override capability.
• Each button illuminates only when its respective channel is in the ON state.
• Local channel indicator buttons perform different functions depending on how they are pressed.

Short-press

(< 0.5 second)

| A single short press toggles the state of a channel.
Double Short-press| Two short presses in series return the channel to the C-Bus network level.
Long-press (1-2 second)| A Long Press on any local indicator button for one second or more returns all chan- nels to the C-Bus network level.

Note:

• Double short-press and long-press operations only apply when the dimmer/channel is in local override mode.
• By default, any C-Bus commands received by the dimmer will override local toggle changes. In this case, only the channel associated with the received commands will revert to the C-Bus network state. This option may be disabled in software. Refer to Priority of Operating Modes.

Remote Override

• The extra two pairs of the C-Bus network cable provide high priority override functions for most C-Bus Output units.
• The Green & Green/White pair is used for the Remote ON function.
• The Brown & Brown/White pair is used for the Remote OFF function.
• Connecting either pair to the C-Bus negative pair activates the corresponding function.
• The SpaceLogic C-Bus Network Automation and Application Controllers provide facilities to control these overrides.
• If this function is to be used, care should be taken to preserve continutity of these pairs between all Output Units in the installation.
• NOTE: Care should also be taken throughout the installation to ensure these pairs are not left unterminated, as this may result in inadvertent triggering of the override functions.

Priority of Operating Modes
The output status of a C-Bus DIN Rail Digital Dimmer can be changed by:

• Pressing a C-Bus button.
• Activating any of the local toggle buttons (local override).
• Using the Remote Override facility.

The priority ranking of these actions is as follows:

(highest)

| Channel automatically dimmed
Remote OFF| 2| All channels OFF
Remote ON| 3| All channels ON
Local override| 4| Toggles the channel
C-Bus Input Unit (Wall plates, sensor etc)| 5| Control the channel

Power-Up Load Status

• The dimmer has on-board non-volatile memory, which by default is used to store the operating state of each channel in case of power loss.
• On restoration of power, the dimmer waits approximately 5s for power to stabilise before restoring the channel states.

Firmware Update

• The SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission software will notify if a firmware update is required. The update requires a connection to the USB Type C connector on the dimmer and is performed using the SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission software. All required firmware files will be included and authenticated as part of the latest SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission software release.
• The Reset button is provided only for recovery purposes and should not be pressed unless instructed.
• Detailed instructions for the update process are included with the SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission software.

Diagnosis

Thermal Monitoring
Operation of the dimmer at elevated temperatures or voltages outside of specification may cause the over-temperature protection circuitry to operate. C-Bus Digital Dimmers incorporate a thermal monitoring protective mechanism. This reduces the load brightness (wind-back) under conditions of inadequate ventilation or excessive ambient temperature. If the excessive ambient temperature continues and the winding back function is insufficient, the dimmer will shut down for protection.
