HOFTRONIC 5446412 Auto Detect Dimmer

IMPORTANT SAFETY DETAILS

1. Hazardous voltage may be present at the output of the dimmer despite setting the dimmer to zero brightness level. Look out and tag the input circuit before accessing the wiring connections. Failure to follow this warning can result in death or serious injury.
2. Ensure the AC/Mains power is NOT connected and cannot be unexpectedly reconnected during installation. This dimmer shall be protected by a 6A or up to a 10A maximum miniature circuit breaker, which is special use with this dimmer.
3. This product must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with instructions provided and in compliance with recognised electrical and safety regulations relevant to the country it is being installed.
4. This product may NOT be installed by minors or people with a mental disability.

INSTALLATION DETAILS

1. Disconnect power. Lock out and tag the relevant circuit at the mains switchboard.
2. Remove existing switch from wall.
3. Connect the dimmer in accordance with the wiring diagrams.
   *the copper conductors for the terminals is 1,0 to 1,5mm rigid wire.
4. Refit switch plate to wall and fit the dimmer knob to the shaft.
5. Reconnect power. Push ON and dim with turning knob.

NOTE:
The Dimmer must always be connected to the LINE side of the load. Multi-way retractive switch or push switch can control up to 20 units for UP/DOWN dim and ON/OFF function. Two or more dimmers MUST NOT be connected in parallel or series to control the same load from two different locations.

MINIMAL BRIGHT LEVEL SETTING

HOW TO SET THE MINIMUM BRIGHT LEVEL:
Adjust the required minimum brightness then short press 5x within 5 seconds to save a minimum level, your LED lighting will flash 3 times.

HOW TO RESET THE MINIMUM BRIGHT LEVEL:
Short press 7x within 5 seconds to reset the minimum level, your LED lighting will flash 3 times. Adjust to required minimum brightness and short press 5x within 5 seconds to save minimum level, your LED lighting will flash 3 times.
Each step must be performed within 15 seconds, if not, it will time out and go to the auto exit program without saving.

FEATURES

• Suitable for 1-way of multi-way full dimming and switching.
• Minimum load down to 3W of capacitive or restistive load, such as dimmable LED Lighting, Incandescent Lighting, MV Halogen/LV Halogen Lighting with electronic transformers.
• Lamps soft start operation, to extend longer lifetime for the lamp.
• LED back light for indication of the dimming mode.
• User setting for the minimum dim level.
• Build in short circuit protect, designed to ensure the dimmer can survive in case of wiring fault or catastrophic failure of the load.
• Build in resettable thermal cut-off to protect the dimmer over normal operation temperature caused by overloads.

NORMAL OPERATION

Operation of dimmer knob and push switch:

Push knob ON or push knob OFF or hold the knob to dim.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase brightness.
Turn the knob anti-clockwise to reduce brightness.

NOTE:
When connect with iron core transformers, only leading edge mode (LE) could be applied, the TE mode can not be used in this case. Multiple compatible loads can be used as the total lamp wattage does not exceed the maximum load rating of the dimmer. Some lamps may exhibit unexpected performance characteristics when cold. Dimming performance should improve after the lamp warms up. Or in case of lamp appears unstable status, it could be changed to TE or LE mode.
