Download C-Bus 8 Channel Dimmer, DIN Rail Series

C-Bus 8 Channel Dimmer,
DIN Rail Series
5508D1A - 8 Channel Dimmer
Ideal for switchboard applications,
the 8 Channel Dimmer is a DIN rail
mount unit, making installation
quick and easy without the need for
special or custom enclosures.
Measuring 12M wide, the dimmer
is designed to fit a standard 35mm
top hat DIN rail arrangement.
Two RJ45 sockets and a 300mm
mains rated patch lead are
provided with each unit for fast
network connection to the C-Bus.
Two variants of the product are
available. One incorporates a
200mA C-Bus power supply used
to source current to the C-Bus
network, while the other is an
economical model with the same
features and performance, but
minus the 200mA power supply.
The C-Bus DIN Rail Series Dimmers are fully compliant with all
relevant Australian and European
safety and EMC standards. (See
inside for details.)
A state-of-the-art dimmer is
incorporated into each unit, with
each channel rated at 1A for
incandescent and low voltage
lighting, and speed control of
ceiling sweep fans*.
The dimmer output is controllable
over the range from 2% to 98%,
and the unique software control
algorithm ensures flicker free
operation during dimming
transitions.

Each Dimmer Features
• A single phase mains 240V ~ (120V ~ export series)
connection. The units receive their commands from the
C-Bus network, but the C-Bus electronics are powered
from the mains connection.
• An added feature is the unit’s built-in power supply that
can source 200mA to the C-Bus network. This can provide
power to approximately 10 C-Bus Key Inputs or Occupancy
Sensors. (P variants do not support a 200mA power supply)
• Status indicators that show C-Bus Network Status, Mains
Power and Load Status.
• Individual load override switches, which may be used to
toggle the state of the C-Bus load independently of the
C-Bus command.
• A Network Burden and System Clock, each selectable via
the use of the C-Bus Installation Software.
• A Remote Override input, which permits a remote switch to
override the C-Bus command and force all outputs to the
On or Off state. This input may be used to test the dimmer
outputs without a connection to the C-Bus during
commissioning, or as an override to C-Bus in case of an
emergency.
• Power recovery mode. This feature enables the unit to be
programmed to any level following a mains power failure.
The loads may be programmed to stagger on power up,
with a maximum delay of 33 minutes and 30 seconds.
• Soft turn on. Unlike conventional devices where abrupt
changes in brightness occurs whenever a channel is
switched On or Off, the micro-controller incorporated in the
C-Bus Dimmers controls the rate of brightness change. This
results in a soft brightness change and is referred to as a
soft Turn On and soft Turn Off. This feature also helps to
prolong the life of incandescent lights.
• Zero crossing filter. The incoming mains frequency is
tracked and all harmonics and non-harmonics of the
fundamental frequency are filtered. This special algorithm
ensures that lights do not flicker due to signal injections on
the mains from the power authorities.
• Programmable thresholds or limits on each dimmer
channel, variable from 0 - 100%. For example, you can
program a minimum and maximum level of brightness for
incandescent and low voltage lamps, thereby prolonging
their operational life.
• Ceiling sweep fan control. Whereas the dimmer may be
used to control ceiling sweep fans it is not recommended.
Some ceiling sweep fans generate audible noise when
controlled by leading edge dimmers, if this is the case an
alternative fan must be selected.
• Continuous monitoring of the incoming mains voltage.
When a change occurs, the micro-controller compensates
by adjusting the output drive to the load. This minimises the
change in brightness often associated with typical phase
control dimmers. Similarly, the incoming frequency is
monitored and adjustments are made to ensure
synchronisation to the mains is maintained, within the
range 47 - 63Hz.
• Linearised brightness control. In conventional phase
control dimmers, as the light is being dimmed, the rate of
change in power delivered to the load is not linear. As a
result, the change of brightness is more apparent when the
light is at the lower brightness setting than when the
light is at a higher brightness setting. The embedded microcontroller in the C-Bus Dimmer uses an algorithm to
ensure that this change in brightness is uniform throughout
the control range.
