Before starting to connect the wires

to the dimmer, install the connector

terminal frame over the connectors

with the four screws provided. The

installed frame should look like the

image below in Figure 3a.

ALL Wires which will be connected

to the dimmer should be threaded

through the connecter bladders found

on the terminal frame cover. These

bladders will accept up to a Romex

12-3 cable. Each bladder accepts a

Romex cable for main power (right

side), light line 1 (left Side) and light line

2 (Center). Figure 3b below shows the

light line 2 ROMEX threaded through

the center frame cover bladder.

Note: Now it is time to connect the wires. Remember that the center Romex/

wire connects to Light Line 2 (shown in Figure 3c. on right, The right Romex/wire

connects to power and the left Romex/

wire connects to Light Line 1. It is critical

that you connect the positive and neutral

wires to the same terminal connections

for the AC in Zone 1 and Zone 2. The

left terminal connection is ALWAYS the

neutral connection and the right terminal

connection is ALWAYS the positive

connection. DO NOT MIX THESE UP WHEN

CONNECTING THE DIMMER!

START BY CONNECTING THE GROUND

WIRE!

Connections are shown in Figure 2.

After all the wires are connected to the dimmer, now slide the connector fame cover

and bladder assembly over the connection terminal frame and screw the cover into

place. At this time all of the wires will be coming out of the bottom of the dimmer

as shown below in Figure 3d.

Programming Methods

Initial Startup

When input power is supplied, previous

operating state is loaded. In other

words, the previous operating state (On

in Manual/Slave/Master Mode or Power

O )is restored as long as the operating

temperature of the dimmer is less than

70° Celsius.

●If the dimmer is overheated above

70° C, overheat error state is

displayed in LCD and alarm LED on

the front panel will blink.

●If the previous state is in "Power o"

state by power button, then normal

LED on front will blink and LCD is

not powered on. In this state, output

is turned o.

In this case, user must press power

button in order for Dimmer to run.

●If the previous state is in one of the

three modes "Manual/Slave/Master"

power on state, then the previous

state is restored and the normal LED

on the front panel comes on. In this

state, output is turned on.

Normal Operation

Assuming the dimmer/controller does

not sense an overvoltage, overcurrent

or overheat error it will start up in its

normal operational state. There are

three modes of control: Manual Mode,

Slave Mode, Master Mode.

●Manual Mode

In Manual Mode, the lighting intensity

of the Plasson LED Bulbs is controlled

manually.

The main screen of the Manual Mode

display looks like Figure 7.

anual

Fig. 7: Main Screen of Manual Mode

"Mode: Manual" means that the

dimmer is in manual operation mode.

"xxx xx/xx xx:xx am" displays present

DAY OF WEEK/MONTH/DAY/TIME.

"Z1:xxx% Z2:yyy%" displays the lighting

intensity level of Zone 1 & the lighting

intensity level of zone 2.

Programming Dimmer in

Manual Mode:

The user will use the "LEFT" and "RIGHT"

navigation buttons to change the

selected Zone to modify. The user will

use the navigation "UP" and "DOWN"

buttons to set the desired lighting

intensity level. This can be anything

between 0 and 100%. 0% is lights o

and 100% is lights 100% on. You can set

this level at anything in-between using

the navigation up and down buttons.

Press the "LEFT" Key in the main

window of Manual Mode, then Zone

1 "xxx%" will blink. In this state, if you

press the "UP/DOWN" key, the lighting

intensity level of Zone 1 "xxx%" will

increase or decrease accordingly.

| 9

Climate HousingDrinkingFeeding

To save a manual setting press the

"ENTER" key, and the present lighting

intensity Zone 1 will be saved.

Press the "RIGHT" key in main window

of Manual Mode, hen Zone 2 "yyy%"

will blink. In this state, if you press the

"UP/DOWN" key, the lighting intensity

level of

Zone 2 "yyy%" will increase or decrease

accordingly. To save a manual setting

press the "ENTER" key, and the

present lighting intensity Zone 2 will

be saved.

●Slave Mode

In Slave Mode, the lighting intensity

of the Plasson Bulbs is controlled by

an analog control signal (1-10VDC). The

main screen of Slave Mode displays

like this:

Slave

Fig. 8: Main Screen of Slave Mode

"Mode: Slave" means that the dimmer

is in slave operation mode.

"xxx xx/xx xx:xx am" displays the current

DAY OF WEEK/MONTH/DAY/TIME.

"Z1:xxx% Z2:yyy%" says that the

lighting intensity level of Zone 1 is

xxx% and the lighting intensity level

of Zone 2 is yyy%. In Slave Mode, the

lighting intensity is controlled by an

external analog signal, so the "UP/

DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT" keys don't aect

the operation and program of the

dimmer.

●Master Mode

In Master Mode, the lighting intensity

of the Plasson Bulbs is controlled by the

on board program. The main screen of

Master Mode displays Figure 9.

Fig. 9: Main Screen of Master Mode

"Mode: Master" means that the dimmer

is in master operational mode.

"xxx xx/xx xx:xx am" displays the current

DAY OF WEEK/MONTH/DAY/TIME.

"Z1:xxx% Z2:yyy%" says that the

lighting intensity level of Zone 1 is

xxx% and the lighting intensity level

of Zone 2 is yyy%. "Program Day xxx"

means that present date in master

mode is "xxx".

Keypad Control if Dimmer-Controller

is in normal operational state:

●You can select the "POWER" button

to turn the system on and o. If the

unit is in power o state, the LCD is

also turned o.

●You can always select the ""BACK" key

on the front panel of the dimmer if

you wish to go back one level within

the interface.
