VMBDMI Dimmer manual – edition 1
Configuration
This dimmer module can only be configured using the VelbusLink software.
The address, dimmer mode and control functions can be configured.
Address:
Every module in the Velbus system must have a unique address.
Address setting is done by software.
Dimmer mode:
The dimmer defaults to inductive loads. It will switch off when the load is to inductive. When using dimmable LED
lamps it is recommended to disable this protection by setting the dimmer mode to resistive loads.
Control functions:
The dimmer module is controlled via pushbuttons connected to the Velbus system using a pushbutton interface or
control panel.
Up to 37 different pushbuttons can be assigned. Every pushbutton can activate a different function.
