VMB4DC 4-channel dimmer controller module user manual – version 3 13
Configuration
Address, dimmer delay, switch-off delay and control functions can only be configured through the Velbuslink
software.
Address:
Each module in the Velbus connection must have a unique address.
Configure the address through the software.
Dimmer delay:
If the dimmer module will be used to dim neon lighting, link relay channel in a momentary control to the dimming
channel in order to switch the lamp on or off. As soon as the dimming value is not 0 (zero), the relay channel will
be activated. To allow the lamp to ignite, you must set a dimming delay during which the lamp’s dimming process
will be briefly stalled.
The dimming delay and relay contact are not necessary when dimming neon lighting.
Switch-off delay:
The neon lighting’s dimming can be linked to a deactivation delay of the relay channel as soon as the dimming
value drops to 0%, this in order to prevent the lamp’s restart when dimming it off and on again.
This feature is not necessary when dimming neon lighting.
Control functions:
The dimmer module is controlled through pushbuttons connected to the Velbus system via a pushbutton interface
or control panel.
You may assign up to 37 different pushbuttons. Each pushbutton may activate integrate a different function.
