Control Device Properties

Switch is a 2 position retractive type ie. it can be pulsed up/down but when released always returns to the centre position.

Switch operates at Protected Extra Low Voltage (PELV) – nominally 5V.

Operation

Luminaires are all turned on/off manually using the flex7 Switch. Pulse in one direction to send an on signal and the other to send an off signal.

Whilat on, the light output of all luminaires can be increased or decreased by holding the Switch in the up or down position. Release the Switch when the desired light level is reached.

All luminaires must have DALI drivers / control gear.

Installation

  1. Install the Distribution Box using the fixing kit provided.
  2. Terminate the fixed wiring into the Distribution Box terminals – see schematic above.
  3. Fit the Switch – it mounts onto a standard 25mm deep single box with 60.3mm centres.
  4. Plug the Control Pack into any outlet on the Distribution Box.
  5. Plug one end of the Switch Drop Lead into the Control Pack.
  6. Plug one end of the Switch Drop Lead into the Switch.
  7. Plug the luminaires into any outlet on the Distribution Box.

Tips and Tricks

When using the Switch to turn the luminaires on/off a ‘pulse’ should be less than 1 second.

Holding the Switch in one position for more than one second when the luminaires are on will initiate the regulating feature ie. the luminaires’ light output will increase or decrease accordingly.

In the scenario, luminaires will turn on at the same light level they were at when turned off.
