7. Setup and Configuration
The SWX-803-WH dimmer switch is designed to interface with a low voltage sensor system, typically connected to a SENSORWORX SWX-900-AX model power pack. Once wired correctly, the switch will communicate with the power pack to control the connected 0-10V dimmable lighting fixtures. No complex configuration is typically required on the switch itself beyond proper wiring.
8. Operating Instructions
The SWX-803-WH provides intuitive control over your 0-10V dimmable lighting.
- On/Off Control: Press the centrally located toggle button to turn the lights ON or OFF.
- Dimming Up: Press the button on the right side (marked with an upward arrow) to increase the light level.
- Dimming Down: Press the button on the left side (marked with a downward arrow) to decrease the light level.
- Light Level Indicator: The five stacked LEDs on the switch provide a visual indication of the current relative dimming level. More LEDs illuminated indicate a higher light output.
- Partial On Mode: When connected to a compatible sensor system, the dimming feature enables a 'Partial On' operating mode, allowing lights to turn on to a preset dimmed level.
9. Maintenance
The SENSORWORX SWX-803-WH dimmer switch requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: To clean the device, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or sprays directly on the switch.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the switch for any signs of damage or loose connections. If any issues are found, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.
10. Troubleshooting
- Lights do not turn ON/OFF:
- Check if power is supplied to the power pack and the dimmer switch.
- Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct according to the diagram.
- Ensure the connected lighting fixtures are operational.
- Lights do not dim:
- Confirm that the connected lighting fixtures are 0-10V dimmable and their dimming wires are correctly connected to the switch and power pack.
- Check the 0-10V dimming wire connections for continuity and proper polarity.
- LED indicators are not working:
- Ensure the switch is receiving proper low voltage power (5-24 VDC).
If issues persist after performing these checks, contact Technical Support.
