You can use the universal dimmer for CFLs / LED lamps
(referred to below as the device) to switch and dim ohm-
ic, inductive or capacitive loads:
The device automatically recognises the connected
load. The device is overload-proof, short-circuit-proof
and has a soft start function.
The device has two scene buttons for retrieving, chang-
The device has two scene buttons for retrieving, chang-
ing and saving two scenes.
When energy-saving lamps are connected, additional
When energy-saving lamps are connected, additional
possible settings are activated. You can set the dimming
range, switch off the start function and switch the operat-
ing mode (from trailing edge phase control to leading
edge phase control, recommended for Osram).

CAUTION
The device can become damaged!
• Always operate the device in compliance with
• Always operate the device in compliance with
the specified technical data.
• Operate the device with a minimum load of
10 VA.
• Connected devices can become damaged if
you connect mixed loads (inductive and capac-
itive) at the same time.
• When energy-saving lamps are used: Only
connect energy-saving lamps from the same
manufacturer.
• The device is designed for sinusoidal mains
voltage.
• When transformers are used: Only connect
dimmable transformers to the dimmer.
• Dimming socket-outlets is prohibited. The risk
of overloading and the risk of unsuitable devic-
es being connected is too high.
• If a terminal is used for looping, the device must
be protected with a 6 A circuit breaker.

If you do not install the device in a single, standard
flush mounting box, the maximum permissible
load is reduced due to the restricted heat dissipa-

The following functions are only available when
energy-saving lamps are connected.
Dimming range
In order to be able to dim energy-saving lamps from dif-
ferent manufacturers without faults, the dimming range
has been restricted. However, you can adjust the dim-
ming range to your energy-saving lamp.
Setting the dimming range

When setting the dimming range, problems may
occur (see chapter "What should I do if there is a
problem?")

Start function
Most energy-saving lamps need time to warm up when
switched on. The start function is therefore activated au-
tomatically when an energy-saving lamp is connected.
The energy-saving lamp is operated at maximum bright-
The energy-saving lamp is operated at maximum bright-
ness for approx. 2 s when switched on and then dims au-
