Teach in the load of an operating unit via the 

button

When teaching in the connected load, the dimming 

performance for compact fluorescent lamps and 

LED lamps is optimised.
The device is ready for operation. The dimming 

button of an operating unit has been programmed 

with the taught-in output.

 

z

Press the dimming button 5 times briefly, then 

keep the button pressed until the load switches 

off.

  The short press is independent of the config-

ured operating performance on the operating 

unit ( 5 x On, 5 x Off or 5 x On/Off).

 

z

Press button once briefly.
The teach-in process starts. The teach-in 

process lasts approx. 30 s. A dimming operation 

is performed to optimise the dimming perfor-

mance. After teaching in, the connected load 

lights up at maximum brightness and flashes 

once. The teach-in process is complete.

 Depending on the connected load, the minimum 

brightness may change due to the teach-in 

process.

Resetting taught-in loads in the device 

The device can be reset to automatic load detec-

tion, e.g. after replacing illuminants. 
  Automatic load detection is particularly suitable 

for loads that can be dimmed clearly in the 

phase cut-on or phase cut-off („conventional 

loads“).

The device is ready for operation. The dimming 

button of an operating unit has been programmed 

with the taught-in output.

 

z

Press the dimming button 5 times briefly, then 

keep the button pressed until the load switches 

off.

  The short press is independent of the config-

ured operating performance on the operating 

unit ( 5 x On, 5 x Off or 5 x On/Off).

 If the dimming button is no longer pressed within 

the next 10 seconds, the learned dimming 

principle is retained.

 

z

Press button 2 times briefly.
The load flashes 2 times. The automatic load 

detection is enabled again.
