5.1 Considerations and planning
Casambi is based on the energy-saving Bluetooth 4.0 standard. If a module is nearby, all luminaires within range of this module can be controlled.
Bluetooth has a range of up to 20 m. Plan your network in such a way that the radio coverage of the modules is guaranteed with each other and no dead spots arise.
If there are gaps in the network or modules are positioned at the limit of the radio coverage, strange errors can sometimes occur.
Dimmer for brightness control of illuminants such as incandescent lamps, high-voltage halogen lamps, dimmable LED lamps for 230 V.
- 1-channel universal dimming actuator
- With a pre-fuse of max. 16A
- flush mounted housing UP
- Operate the device (Operation) only in dry indoor rooms (below 80 % humidity, non condensing)
- 55 mm pitch circle. (55 mm hole)
Power calculation depending of the used lighting source
Load type | cutting method | Percentual rated output power |
|---|---|---|
| Ohmic | trailing edge | 100 % |
| LED | trailing edge | approx. 80 % |
| copper transformer | leading edge* | approx. 20 % |
| * leading edge is mandatory (only) for copper transformers | ||
High inrush current in lamp specification
If the calculated inrush currents of the load (specified inrush current x number of luminaires) are quite high, the number of loads (max. number of luminaires of the same type - see instructions in chapter 6) should be determined via a calibration and this number should not be exceeded.
5.2 Mechanical installation
Dimensions
Flush-mounted housing for installation in switch boxes or junction boxes. Attachment with two eyelets, these can be removed for installation.
Installation
| Even if the device has tiny dimensions, a deep installation box (>60 mm) is highly recommended. Depending on which push-button is used, up to 30 mm of the available space must be deducted. |
|
For installation in cavity or switch boxes, Install the device, install with labeling, LED and device-button faces forwards. |
