Micatron Dimming Switch for use with Fluorescent Lamps

The Micatron Dimming Switch is permanently wired unit that effectively dims ANY "fluorescent lamp including PLL-TCL-PLT variants when connected to dimmable electronic control gear".

This can be as new or retrospectively fitted into most lanterns, the dimming period and dimming level can be custom set to the customers specifications. UMSUG approved.

The Dimming Switch is wired between the switched load output of any standard photocell or time switch and a, "fluorescent dimmable electronic control gear unit" as detailed in the following diagram:

Many variations on this type of dimming ballast exist and the following options are available:

• 0V TO 10V Digital Output

• 230V Touch Dim Output (As detailed in dia below)

• Variable resistive switching (Volt free switching)

Micatron Dimming Switch for use with Fluorescent Lamps

In operation, the Dimming Switch will sense the photocell switching at dusk and dawn. It will remember the length of night over sequential dusk/dawn switchings and use this data to perform a part night dimming routine (for example; Dusk on, 22.00hrs dim to any desired level to 05.30 then revert back to full output & finally at Dawn switch off). Also automatic B.S.T. TO G.M.T. changeover function built in.

Notes:

• The Dimming Switch will not interfere with lamp testing routines as it will ignore switching cycles of less than 30 minutes.

• The Dimming Switch will always default to the highest switched level of the ballast.
