Dimming controls
Description
Push buttons for dimming are available as a single dimming control (three action buttons) or double dimming control (2 x three action buttons) with or without status LEDs. They allow the resident to operate one or two light points respectively or groups of light points, via the Niko Home Control installation.
Overview
Operation
The specific action buttons on each push button are arranged in groups of three. Each group consists of the following buttons: "A", "B" and "C".
Action buttons with status LED will indicate the status of their respective output. Using the programming software, you can program the LEDs to light up when the output is either activated or deactivated. This can be determined in the programming software.
The table below provides an overview of all action button functions.
‘Before’ status | Action | ‘After’ status |
|---|---|---|
Light off | Briefly press "A" (< 0.4 s) | "Memory off" means the light intensity level will reach 100%. "Memory on" means the light intensity level will return to the previous setting, The "Memory off" or "Memory on" option can be selected during the programming phase of the installation. |
The light is switched off | Briefly press "B" (< 0.4 s) | Preference setting (standard 50%) |
The light is switched off | Briefly press "C" (< 0.4 s) | The light is switched on. The light intensity level remains at the lowest setting. |
The light is switched off | Hold down "A" (≥ 0.4 s) | The light intensity level will increase until the button is released or until the maximum level is reached. |
The light is switched off | Hold down "B" (≥ 0.4 s and < 3 s) | Preference setting (standard 50%) |
The light is switched off | Hold down "B" (> 3 s) | The current light intensity level is now saved as the new preference setting. |
The light is switched off | Hold down "C" (≥ 0.4 s) | The light is switched on. The light intensity level remains at the lowest setting. |
The light is switched on | Briefly press "A" (< 0.4 s) | The light intensity level will reach 100%. |
The light is switched on. | Briefly press "B" (< 0.4 s) | Preference setting (standard 50%) |
The light is switched on. | Briefly press "C" (< 0.4 s) | The light is switched off. |
The light is switched on | Hold down "A" (≥ 0.4 s) | The light intensity level will increase until the button is released or until the maximum level is reached. |
The light is switched on | Hold down "B" (< 3 s) | Preference setting (standard 50%) |
The light is switched on | Hold down "B" (> 3 s) | The current light intensity level is now saved as the new preference setting. |
The light is switched on | Hold down "C" (≥ 0.4 s) | The light intensity level will decrease until the button is released or until the minimum level is reached. |
Installation
The push button features an easy click-on mechanism for wall-mounted bus wiring controls.
The following articles are required to install a single push button:
- a flush-mounting box (A)
- a simple wall-mounted printed circuit board (550-14110 or 550-141x6) or a multiple wall-mounted printed circuit board (550-14106 or 550-140xx) (B)
- a push button (C)
- faceplate (D)
- If you install a multiple wall-mounted circuit board, you also need a connection unit (550-14090).
- You can use a single flush-mounting box to install multiple push buttons (up to three horizontally or vertically) in one location.
- The wall-mounted printed circuit boards are available with claw and screw fixing.
Mount the push button by pressing the connection unit onto a Niko Home Control wall-mounted printed circuit board until it clicks into place.
It will automatically connect to the Niko Home Control bus through two contact springs.
Mind the orientation of the push button: the spring contacts should be located at the bottom.
In closing, mount the faceplate (D) on the printed circuit board via the SnapFit mechanism.
