Purpose
It is dedicated to cooperation with:
– incandescent and halogen lamps (resistive load);
– lamps powered by a toroidal or electronic transformer (inductive or capacitive load) [1]
– LED lamps [1]
Lighting control is carried out using monostable buttons connected to control inputs or by means of the OC transistor key.
The SCO-816 dimmer is additionally equipped with:
– soft switching on and off function;
– thermal protection;
– current overload control;
– built-in 20 A slow blow fuse;
– possibility of connecting the ON/OFF button controlled by 230 V AC mains voltage or low DC voltage [2]
Functioning
Switching on and off of the lighting takes place after a short press of a button connected to the control input S. The brightness level is changed by long press of the button. One long press brightens the lighting until the maximum value is reached, the next long press dims it until the minimum value is reached. Switching on the light by shortly pressing the button restores the previously set brightness level[3].
[2] Dimmer is not adapted to cooperate with backlit buttons.
[3] The status memory works until the power is turned off. After switching on the power again, the first switching on takes place at 100% brightness.
