15 Series - Electronic step relay and dimmer
Functions (15.81 type)
Type of load
Selector setting
With memory (M)
Without memory (M)
Regulator setting
Operating mode with memory: the previous light level
is memorized. 
Long control pulse: The light level is progressively
raised or lowered in linear way. The lowest value 
dependent on the “minimum dimming level” regulator 
setting
Short control pulse: Alternately switches between On
and Off.
When switching On, the light level assumes the value
set during the previous On state.
Incandescent lamps
230 V halogen lamps
12/24 V halogen lamps 
with electronic 
transformer/ballast
It is suggested to set the 
“minimum dimming level” at
the lowest value, so that the
complete dimming range is
available. But if it is necessary
to avoid too low a level of 
illumination, a higher value
can be set. 
Dimmable compact 
fluorescent lamps (CFL)
Dimmable LED lamps
It is suggested to initially set
the “minimum dimming level”
at an intermediate value and
then if necessary, readjust for
a level found to be compatible
with the lamp being used.
12/24 V halogen lamps
with toroidal or E-core 
electromagnetic transformer
It is suggested to set the 
“minimum dimming level” at
the lowest value, so that the
complete dimming range is
available. But if it is necessary
to avoid too low a level of 
illumination, a higher value
can be set. 
Operating mode without memory: at switch-off, the
light level is not memorized.
Long control pulse: The light level is progressively
raised or lowered in linear way. The lowest value 
depend on the “minimum dimming level” regulator 
setting.
Short control pulse: Alternately switches between On
and Off between the maximum light level and the off
state.

Leading edge dimming
Trailing edge dimming
Light dimming is realized with “phase cutting technology”, which works by “cutting off” part of the mains voltage waveform in order to reduce the
RMS voltage fed to the lamp. If such “cutting off” is done at the beginning of the sine wave, the dimming method is called Leading Edge, if it is done
towards the end it is called Trailing Edge. These 2 methods are suitable for dimming different lamp types: Trailing Edge is, in general, more suitable
for electronic transformers for low voltage lamps (halogen or LED). Leading Edge is better suited for electromagnetic transformers for LV lamps, 230 V
CFL and 230 V Led lamps. Both methods are, however, suitable for dimming 230 V halogen and incandescent lamps.
In consideration of the different lamp types actually available on the market, it is suggested to refer to the technical specification indicated in page 1
and, if given, to the lamp manufacturer’s recommendation.
