Safety Information
WARNING: Installation and maintenance of electrical equipment should only be performed by a qualified electrician. Disconnect power at the main circuit breaker before installation or servicing to prevent electric shock.
- Ensure the power supply is completely disconnected before beginning any work.
- Verify voltage and wattage compatibility with your lighting system.
- Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 500 Watts.
- Follow all local electrical codes and regulations.
Setup and Installation
The Eltako EUD61NPN-UC is designed for flush-mounted installation. Refer to the wiring diagram below for correct connections.
Figure 2: Wiring diagram for the Eltako EUD61NPN-UC Universal Dimmer. This diagram illustrates the connections for the phase (L), neutral (N), and switched phase to the lamp, as well as the control input (A1-A2) for push-buttons.
Wiring Steps:
- Disconnect Power: Turn off the main power supply at the circuit breaker before starting.
- Connect Neutral (N): Connect the neutral wire from your electrical supply to the 'N' terminal on the dimmer.
- Connect Phase (L): Connect the phase wire from your electrical supply to the 'L' terminal on the dimmer.
- Connect Switched Phase to Lamp: Connect the output terminal (marked with a lamp symbol and 'L') to your light fixture.
- Connect Control Input (A1-A2): Connect your push-button switch(es) to the A1 and A2 terminals. The dimmer supports 2-way switching. The control voltage can be 8-230V UC.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all wire connections are secure and properly insulated.
- Mount Dimmer: Carefully place the dimmer module into the flush-mounted box.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power at the circuit breaker.
Operating Instructions
The Eltako EUD61NPN-UC dimmer offers intuitive control and advanced features:
- Basic Operation:
- A short press on the connected push-button will switch the light ON or OFF.
- A continuous press on the push-button will change the brightness level. Release the button when the desired brightness is reached.
- Brightness Retention: The dimmer retains the last set brightness level when switched off and will return to that level when switched back on.
- Adjustable Dimming Speed: The dimming speed can be adjusted using the 'dim speed' dial on the module. This also affects the duration of the soft-on and soft-off transitions.
- Minimum Brightness Adjustment: The 'min' dial allows you to set the minimum brightness level to prevent flickering or ensure compatibility with certain light sources.
- Maximum Brightness Adjustment: The 'max' dial allows you to set the maximum brightness level.
- Snooze Function: When activated (refer to specific programming instructions, usually via a sequence of button presses), the light will softly dim down to the minimum brightness and then switch off.
- Nursery Function: When activated, the light will slowly brighten up to a pre-set or last-set brightness level, ideal for gentle illumination.
For detailed programming of special functions like snooze and nursery, please refer to the comprehensive manual provided by Eltako or their official website, as these often involve specific sequences of button presses or dial settings not covered here.
Maintenance
The Eltako EUD61NPN-UC dimmer is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. To ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Keep the device free from dust and moisture.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. A soft, dry cloth is sufficient for cleaning the surface.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the installation area to prevent overheating.
No user-serviceable parts are inside the dimmer module. Do not attempt to open or repair the device yourself.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Eltako EUD61NPN-UC dimmer, consider the following common solutions:
- Light Flickering or Not Dimming Properly:
- Check the minimum brightness setting ('min' dial). Adjust it to a higher value if the light flickers at low levels.
- Ensure your light bulbs are dimmable. Not all LED or energy-saving lamps are compatible with all dimmers.
- Verify that the total wattage of your connected lamps does not exceed the dimmer's maximum capacity (500W).
- Some LED installations may require a minimum load. If using very low wattage LEDs, consider adding a compatible load resistor or a single incandescent bulb to meet the minimum load requirement.
- Dimmer Not Responding:
- Check the power supply to the dimmer. Ensure the circuit breaker is ON.
- Verify all wiring connections (L, N, output, A1-A2) are secure and correct according to the wiring diagram.
- Ensure the push-button switch is functioning correctly.
- Overheating:
- Ensure the dimmer is not overloaded. Reduce the total wattage of connected lamps if it exceeds 500W.
- Check for adequate ventilation in the installation box.
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact a qualified electrician or Eltako customer support for further assistance.
