Installation instructions VD600
Warning!
High voltage. Risk of electric shock. The installation should only be carried
out by an authorized electrician.
Connection
For LED 0-600VA (450W), 230V halogen, and electronic transformers. Do not use
the LED dimmer for fluorescent lamps, fans or toroidal cores.
- Stop the current.
- Connect the phase to one of the terminal boxes marked with L1 or L2 on the dimmer.
- Connect the conductor that continues to the load of the terminal box on the dimmer marked with (see the connection drawing).
- In order to use the on/off function (no dimming) to a load – connect the load to the terminal EXT.
- The earthed neutral should be directly connected to the load. If it is broken in the equipment, or box, connect with a clamp or another connection.
- Install the dimmer (A) in the equipment box. Make sure that no cables are clamped.
- If required, adjust the minimum level with the help of the middle regulator in position (E). In case of flickers, adjust exactly with the upper regulator.
- Screw the casing (B) tight with the enclosed nut (C ).
- Press the knob (D) securely with a single press.

Dimmer adjustment
Exact adjustment of the least dimmer level for the most common loads.
Procedure: Dim the load to minimum light. Turn the potentiometer clockwise
with a screwdriver to set the lowest dimmer level. Stop when you reach a
satisfactory level, i.e. when there is no flickering Adjustment of maximum
dimming level/flicker when the load is dimmed to a maximum level, for loads
that need additional adjustment. Is used for loads, where there is flickering
in the maximum dimmed position. Is also used for exact adjustment of the
maximum dimmer level.
Procedure: Dim the load to maximum light. In case of flickering, turn the
potentiometer clockwise with a screwdriver so as to reduce the amount of
flickering. Stop when you reach a satisfactory level, i.e. when there is no
flickering.
When adjusting exactly, turn the potentiometer clockwise with a screwdriver
and stop just before the light begins to dim. Stop when you are satisfied.
Activation and adjustment of the boost feature Is used for loads when the
light is lit at different speeds (popcorn effect). Is used even for difficult
loads when switching on and off, to start them.
Procedure: Dim the load to minimum light. Activate the boost feature by
switching the dip switch to ON using a screwdriver. Turn the knob on and off
with a 5-second gap to understand the effect of the feature.
Use the potentiometer to adjust the amount of boost until the light starts up
to a comfortable level.
Troubleshooting
Problem | Reason | Action |
---|---|---|
The dimmer doenot work | The line voltage is noconnected | Connect to the line |
voltage
The load is not connect| Connect the load
The amount of load is too much| Reduce the amount of load/ Divide the load in
groups
The lamp or load is broken| Replace the load
The least dimmer level is set too low| Increase the least dimmer level
The Boost feature is not activated| Activate the boost feature, see the
section on the boost feature
The dimmer turns off| The thermal protection is activated| Reduce the load or
check the installation environment
It flickers in max position| The MAX potentiometer is incorrectly
set| See the chapter on the maxi- mum dimmer level.
It flickers in the bottom position.| The least dimmer level is set too low|
Increase the least dimmer level
The light flashes in the begin- ning before it stabilises| The boost feature
is incorrectly set.| Turn off the boost feature, or adjust it exactly, see the
section on boost feature
