JM007 VARILIGHT V-Pro Smart Rotary Dimmer Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS FOR VARILIGHT VPRO SMART DIMMERSWITCHES

OVERVIEW
Thank you for choosing a VARILIGHT VPro Smart intelligent programmable rotary control dimmerswitch. IMPORTANT: Read ALL sections below before installing this dimmer switch. The VPro Smartdimmer is suitable for 1way circuits. For 2 or 3Way circuits, use aVPro Smart dimmer with 1 or 2companion controllers. Use only on an electricity supply of 230V~. This product complies with British and European Safety Regulations (IEC 66921 or BSEN6066921) when used in lighting circuits containing MCBs (miniature circuit breakers). These can be rated at 6A, 10A or 16A (preferably 6A for lighting circuits). Your guarantee is not affected if you have an older lighting circuit protected by fuse wire links.

LOADING

Maximum loads for VPro Smart dimmerswitches(please see www.varilight.co.uk for latest loading advice); Always observe the recommended maximum load.

Lighting Load

Dimmer Series

VPro Smart Max. LoadPer Gang

Dimmable Mains & Low Voltage LEDs

1 to 10 Dimmable LEDs (max. 120W) Check your LED lamps are suitable for use with
dimmers that have a standby mode. A load regulator may be required, e.g. Varilight LEDFix

THIS SWITCH IS SUITABLE FOR  Most dimmable LEDs
THIS SWITCH IS NOT SUITABLE FOR:  Nondimmable fluorescent bulbs and tubes;  Wirewound or toroidal transformers;  Electric motors
OVERLOAD PROTECTION: This dimmerswitch is protected against overload. If an overload occurs it will automatically turn off until the overload is removed and the dimmerswitch is switched off and then switched back on again. However, if the dimmerswitch receives a total shortcircuit it may be damaged beyond repair.
TRANSFORMERS Use only with quality dimmable electronic transformers. For optimum performance choose VARILIGHT transformers*. To calculate load, add the VA ratings of the transformers (not thewattage of the bulbs). Choose transformers with a maximum rating close to their lamp load (eg. Use a 50VA, 60VA or 70VA transformer to control a 50W low voltage bulb).N.B. Some transformers may not behave according to their power rating when used with a dimmer. An overload will result in the dimmer turning itself off. If this happens, change your transformer(s) (VARILIGHT transformer(s) recommended); or remove one (or some) transformer(s) from the circuit; or choose a higher rated dimmer instead.If a transformer specifies Triac dimming,use a dimmer from the VCom series. * If a transformer appears as a highly inductive load, e.g. Wirewound or toroidal transformers, the dimmer will not work. To protect itself it will turn off within 1 second.
ADVICE ON CHANGING LIGHT BULBS Always turn off the mains power when light bulbs controlled by yourVPro Smart dimmers are replaced. If you change the type of light bulb then perform a factory reset as described under "Programming".

WARNING: Do not apply products with metal faceplates directly to freshly plastered or damp surfaces as product may tarnish. If in doubt, use polythene as a temporary gasket to protect the product. Do not use masking tape on metal faceplates.

GUARANTEE REGISTRATION NUMBER JM007.
FITTING YOUR DIMMERSWITCH
Read the instructions below carefully. Incorrect installation may damage the dimmer beyond repair. In case of any doubt or difficulty consult a qualified electrician. 1. Switch off at the mains, then remove the existing switch and disconnect the wiring from the switch terminals at the rear, taking note of the present wiring of the switch and the marking on the terminals. Where there are two or more wires together in the old switch, they must be kept together in the dimmerswitch. 2. Ensure that any wall box is free of plaster lumps or projecting screw heads. Dimmer-switches on singlesized plates can be fitted to wall boxes having 60.3mm screw fixing centres and those with doublesized plates to wall boxes with 120.6mm fixing centres. Dimmers can be fitted into a box with a minimum depth of 25mm for Classic plated products, or 35mm for Ultraflat and Screwless. 3. To connect the wiring for 1way, 2way or3way circuits refer to the wiring diagrams, or the text under the heading "1Way, 2Way and 3Way Circuits" on the other side of this leaflet. Take care that no bare wires project out of the terminals. Keep wires together in a terminal if they were together in your old switch. 4. Dimmerswitches having a metal plate must be earthed by means of the earthing point on the faceplate. 5. After connecting the wires screw the dimmerswitch gently into the wall box so that the front plate is not distorted or cracked. Do not trap the wiring between the rear of the dimmer and the back of the wall box. 6. Once installation is complete. Switch on the mains supply and switch on the dimmer. Important: Disconnect the dimmer before carrying out insulation resistance testing. Failing to do so could damage a dimmer and make the guarantee invalid.

CONTROL TIPS
There are some extra functions of this dimmer that can be used alongside the regular push on/off and rotary dim controls. A sharp turn up will set the lamps to maximum brightness, with a sharp turn down setting them to minimum brightness. Either of these can also be performed from off. Turning the dimmer slowly in either direction from off will bring the lamps on at minimum brightness, allowing you to ramp up from a very low level.

PROGRAMMING
You can a change the settings of this dimmer with the control knob. The instructions are below:

Setting to change Adjust the minimum brightness Adjust the maximum brightness
Changing the driving mode
Setting the Boost level (explained
below)
Toggle the child lock function
Factory reset

How to change it Set to minimum brightness and hold the button for 6 seconds. The lights will then come on and allow you to adjust the minimum brightness.* Set to maximumand hold the button for 6 seconds. When the lights blink, use the rotary control to adjust the maximum brightness. * Turn the dimmer off and hold the button down for 6 seconds. The lights will pulse and go off. Press the dimmer once for mode 1, twice for mode 2, or three times for mode 3. The default mode for this dimmer is mode 1. Turn the dimmer off and hold the button down for 12 seconds.Ignore the lights blinking at 6 seconds, The lights will then come on and allow you to set the boost level. * Set to minimum and hold the button down for 12 seconds. Ignore the lights blinking at 6 seconds. If enabled, the lights will come on for 2 seconds and go off. If disabled the lights will flash twice and go off. Set to maximum and hold the button down for 12 seconds. Ignore the lights blinking at 6 seconds then, after 12 seconds, the light will come on and fade to off.

*Once set, leave the dimmer for 3 seconds. The lights will flash to show the new level has been set, and the dimmer will return to normal operation.
Boost Function Explained Some LED lights require a large amount of power to come on and so do not illuminate at low brightness levels. The Boost function caters for LED lights that require more power at startup by raising the startup brightness level, then putting the brightness back to the specified level.

1-WAY, 2-WAY AND 3-WAY CIRCUITS
In 1way lighting circuits, where the light(s) are controlled from 1 position only a VPro Smart dimmer is required. [See Figure 1 below]
N.B.It is not possible to use standard light switches to control V-Pro Smart dimmers from a second or third location. Use either V-Pro Smart Companion Controllers or Retractive/Momentary Switches as described below.
For 2 or 3way circuits (where the light(s) are controlled from 2 or 3 locations) you can use one VPro Smart dimmer along with 1 or 2 VPro Smart Companion Controllers for rotary dimming from each position. Please note that the total cable length from the dimmer to the last Companion Controller should be no more than 50m. No more than 2 Companion Controllers should be used with each dimmer. [See Figures 2, 3 & 4 below]
For 2 or 3way circuits (where the light(s) are controlled from 2 or 3 positions) there are also other options for secondary control. Instead of a Companion Controller, you can also use one of the following types of switch with as a V-Pro Smart dimmer:
1. Retractive Switches (Push-to-Make) A quick press switches the light off or on at its last brightness. A long press makes the lights gently cycle up and down. If you stop pressing when the lights are dimming then the next long press will initially make the lights go brighter.Or if you stop pressing when the lights arebrightening then the next long press will initially make the lights go dimmer.
2. Momentary Switches (Push-to-Make) Same behaviour as Retractive Switches above.
For Retractiveand Momentary Switches, follow the same wiring as for 1-way circuits with two wires linking to each Retractiveor Momentary Switch using the "LOAD" terminal and the "S-LINK" terminal. These two wires can connect either way round to the COM and L1 terminals on the Retractive Switch. [See Figure 5 below]
N.B. The dimmer will automatically sensewhich type of switch is being used for secondary control and adjust accordingly. If a secondary controller is replaced by a different type of switch a factory reset will be required so that the dimmer can make the necessary adjustments to its internal program.
