Nero Dim
The Nero Dim is a MOSFET-switching dimmable light controller for high-voltage and low-voltage halogen lamps with electronic transformers, dimmable compact fluorescent lights, and dimmable LEDs. The dimmer auto detects between leading edge, trailing edge, and PWM load control.
The module can be controlled either through a Z-Wave Controller or through a wall switch.
The module measures the power consumption of the attached load and supports connection of a digital temperature sensor (available separately).
Nero Dim operates as a repeated in your mesh network, increasing reliability and range when combined with other Nero devices.
Installation
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Nero Dim should only be installed by a qualified electrician and with appropriate precautions taken to ensure that power is not present during installation.
Even when the module is turned off, voltage may be present on its terminals. Any works on changes related to connection mode or load must always be performed with power disconnected.
- Before the installation, disconnect the power supply
- Connect the module according to electrical diagram
- Locate the antenna as far as possible from metal elements
- Do not shorten the antenna
- Nero Dim requires an active and neutral for operation
Supported Switches
The module supports momentary switches (push button) and toggle switches. The module is factory set to operate with momentary switches. Momentary switches are recommended, latching or toggle switches will not allow dimming control from the wall switch.
Over-current Protection Fuse
Nero Dim must be installed with an over-current protection fuse not rated higher than 1A as illustrated in the wiring diagram.
