230 V~ 50 Hz SLAVE dimmer for 40-500 W incandescent lamps, 40-500 VA ferro-
magnetic transformers and 40-300 inductive electronic transformers, controlled by
L
MASTER dimmer, MOSFET+TRIAC technology.
Characteristics
• SLAVE dimmers need MASTER dimmers to function.
• Lighting, adjusting and turning off with incorporated buttons or normal buttons
without pilot light when off.
• Lighting level is saved when turned off (unless there is a blackout).
• Soft start: ensures gradual lighting from zero to maximum or preset lighting levels.
This way the life of a lamp is increased by reducing stress on the filament and
prevents light flash.
• Soft end: ensures a gradual passage from light to dark.
• Protection against short-circuit when turning on together with flashing blowout
detector.
• Overheating protection with flashing blowout detector.
• MASTER-SLAVE function: paying attention not to exceed maximum power control-
lable by each dimmer. A MASTER device can have up to 4 SLAVE devices for a
maximum total load of 2500 W (VA) corresponding to 500 W/VA max connected to
each of the 5 devices.
• It should be used in dry, dust-free places at a temperature between 0 °C and
+35 °C.
Connections
The connection should be made together with a fuse box with quick-acting fuse with
high breaking capacity type F2,5AH 250 V~ (07050.HF.2.5) as seen in the diagrams
below.
• control and dimming with incorporated button or several points with NO buttons in
parallel (figure A). Do not use NO buttons with pilot light.
• control and adjustment with incorporated button + control and adjustment of further
loads using the SLAVE support module (max 4) (figure B).
Note.
• Loads controlled by each device are not parallel in the MASTER-SLAVE function.
Controllable loads
• Incandescent and halogen lamps: 40-500 W 230 V~ 50 Hz.
• Ferromagnetic transformers for low-voltage halogen lamps: 40-500 VA 230 V~
50 Hz.
• Dedicated VIMAR electronic transformers 01860.60 max 4, or VIMAR 01860.105
max 3.

Constructor further information
• Dimmer control also electronic transformers with inductive response
230 V~ 50 Hz (300 VA max in case of connection from 1 to 3 trasformers, 240 VA in
case of connection of 4 transformers; do not connect more than 4 transformers).
• Not suitable to control motors (e.g. ventialtors and exhaust fans).
• For installation with 2 dimmers in the same mounting box, the loads controllable
by each dimmer should be reduced so that theri total does not exceed the values
indicated above.
Operating
• Turn on and off by pressing the button quickly and make adjustments by keeping it
pressed. Stop and restart to change direction.
When maximum or minimum load is reached, dimming stops and can be inverted
by pressing the dimmer again.
• If the pilot light does not turn on check the fuse and if necessary replace it with the
same model.
• If the pilot light flashes when turned on check it and replace the load if necessary
(short-circuit load).
• If the pilot light flashes after turning on, installation has not been carried out correctly
and the overheating protection has been activated. Have the system checked by
an expert.
Installation regulations
• The installation should be carried out in compliance with current electrical installa-
tion regulations in the country where installed.
• The rated power level should never be exceeded.
• Overloading, power surges and short-circuits may permanently damage dim-
mers. Before installation check the circuit carefully and eliminate any of the above
causes.
• Do not connect several dimmers in series between each other.
• The dimmer does not have a mechanical circuit breaker in the main circuit and so is
not galvanically separated. The circuit load should be considered always under
voltage.

In order to function correctly
the length of each connection
between the MASTER dimmer
and SLAVE dimmer or NO
buttons should not exceed
100 m.

It is recommended to position the connection con-
ductors on the bottom of the box avoiding contact
with the body of the dimmer.
