DIMMING OPERATION
PUSH dimming(primary side)
Action | Action duration | Function |
Short push | 0.1~1 sec. | Turn ON-OFF the driver |
Long push | 1.5~10 sec. | Every Long Push changes the dimming direction, dimming up or down |
Reset | >11 sec. | Set up the dimming level to 100% |
- The factory default dimming level is at 100%.
- If the push action lasts less than 0.05 sec., it will not lead to a change for the status of the driver.
- Up to 10 drivers can perform the PUSH dimming at the same time when utilizing one common push button.
- The maximum length of the cable from the push button to the last driver is 20 meters.
- The additive push button can be connected only between the PUSH terminal, as displayed in the diagram, and AC/L (in brown or black); it will lead to short circuit if it is connected to AC/N.
DALI interface(primary side; for DA/DA2-Type)
- Apply DALI signal between DA+ and DA-
- DALI protocol comprises 16 groups and 64 addresses.
- First step is fixed at 6% of output.
SYNCHRONIZATION OPERATION
- Synchronization up to 10 drivers (1 master + 9 slaves)
- Dimming operating range: 10%~100%
- Sync cable length: < 5m
- Sync cable type: Flat cable
- Sync cable cross section area: 22 – 24 AWG (0.2~0.3mm*)
- CN100, CN101: used to synchronously control the LCM units in parallel.
NOTE
- Please make sure all units are set to 100% dimming setting (factory default) before synchronizing.
- Min. Dimming operating range depends on dimmer setting.
