Description Purpose and application The DIM MCU electronic potentiometer (manual control unit) controls up to 50 dimmable electronic control gears and enables the manual brightness control of luminaires. DIM MCU The potentiometer is mounted in flush device boxes. Function The potentiometer converts rotations of and pressure on the rotary knob into 1...10V voltage signals, which are transmitted to the dimmable electronic control gears. Design B The potentiometer is made up of the following components: • Rotary potentiometer (A) • Connections (C) A –– Control lines (+, –) –– Dimmed + switched phase (↓) –– Phase (L) –– Trimmer (B) • Housing with rotary knob (D) ↓ Manual control unit Fitting instructions + – L C D Installation Safety instructions The potentiometer must only be installed and put into operation by a qualified electrician. The applicable safety regulations and accident prevention regulations must be observed. WARNING! Exposed, live cables. Danger of electric shock! • Only work on the potentiometer when it is deenergised. CAUTION! Destruction of the potentiometer and other devices through incorrect mounting! • The potentiometer is designed for mounting in flush device boxes. If mounted elsewhere, provideadequate cable strain relief and insulation. • Do not wire the control line with an external voltage, especially not a mains voltage of 230 V. • Do not exceed the maximum number of ECGs.
