VADSBO VD200 Rotary Dimmer Instruction Manual

VADSBO VD200 Rotary Dimmer

Connection

For LED 0-200VA, 230V halogen and electronic transformers. Do not use the LED- dimmer for fluorescent lamps, fans or toroidal cores.

1. Stop the current.
2. Connect the phase to one of the terminal boxes marked with L1 or L2 on the dimmer.
3. Connect the conductor that continues to the load of the terminal box on the dimmer marked with (see the connection drawing).
4. In order to use the on/off function (no dimming) to a load – connect the load to the terminal EXT.
5. The earthed neutral should be directly connected to the load. If it is broken in the equipment, box, connect with clamp or another connection.
6. Install the dimmer (A) in the equipment box. Make sure that no cables are clamped.
7. If required, adjust the minimum level with the help of the middle regulator in the position (E). In case of flickers, adjust exactly with the upper regulator.
8. Screw the casing (B) tight with the enclosed nut (C ).
9. Press the knob (D) securely with a single press.

Staircase feature

Follow the instructions for “connection” but replace the points 2 and 3 with points 1, 2 and 3 below:

1. Connect the phase to the terminal box marked with “L” och the twoway current switch.
2. Connect the the outgoing phases (arrow out, arrow out) from the two-way switch to the entry of the dimmer (L1 arrow in, L2 arrow in).
3. Connect the conductor that connects to the load at the terminal box marked with on the dimmer.

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.

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. 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

The dimmer does not work| The line voltage is not connected| 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 maximum 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
