7. Troubleshooting

**Connected LED lamps or compact fluorescent lamps switch off in the

lowest dimming position or flicker**

Cause: The set minimum brightness is too low.
Increase minimum brightness.

Connected lamps do not switch on in the lowest dimming position or only

after a delay

Cause: The set minimum brightness is too low.
Increase minimum brightness.

Connected LED lamps or compact fluorescent lamps flicker or buzz, no

correct dimming possible, device buzzes

Cause 1: Lamps are not dimmable.
Check manufacturer’s instructions.
Exchange lamps for another type.

Cause 2: Operating mode (dimming principle) and lamps do not optimally match.
Check operation in another operating mode, reduce connected load as well if necessary.
Set the operating mode manually.
Exchange lamps for another type.

Cause 3: Dimmer is connected without neutral conductor.

Connect neutral conductor if possible, otherwise exchange lamp for another type.

Connected 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: Operating mode (dimming principle) does not optimally match the connected HV-LED lamps.
Check operation in another operating mode, reduce connected load as well if necessary.
Set the operating mode manually.
Exchange HV-LED lamps for another type.

The dimmer switches the load off briefly and then on again.

Cause: Short-circuit protection has tripped but now there is no longer a fault

The dimmer has switched off and the load cannot be switched on again

Cause 1: Overheating protection has tripped.

Disconnect dimmer from mains by switching off circuit breaker.
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 LED trailing edge phase control setting. Exchange lamps for another type.
Let dimmer cool down for at least 15 minutes.

Switch circuit breakers and dimmer on again.

Cause 2: Overvoltage protection has tripped.
LED trailing edge phase control: Check operation in the LED leading edge phase control setting, reduce connected load as well if necessary.
Exchange lamps for another type.

Cause 3: Short-circuit protection has tripped.
Disconnect dimmer from mains by switching off circuit breaker.
Eliminate short-circuit.
Switch circuit breakers and dimmer on again.
Short-circuit protection is not based on a conventional fuse, no metallic separation of the operational current.

Cause 4: load failure.
Check load, replace lamp. For inductive transformers, check primary fuse.

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.
