Micatron Dimming Switch for use with Dual Tapped Magnetic Ballasts

The Micatron Dimming Switch is an UMSUG coded, permanently wired unit that effectively dimms dual tapped magnetic ballasts for HID (SON, SON-T and Metal Halide) Lamps. This can be as new or retrospectively fitted into most lanterns.

Lamp wattages currently being dimmed 70W - 400W.

Automatic pre-heat of lamp before dimming commences.

The Dimming Switch is wired between the switched load output of any standard photocell or time switch and a dual tapped magnetic ballast, as detailed in the following diagram:

The Dimming Switch consumes no power when the photocell is switched Off and less than 0.20W when the lamp is switched On. The timing function is preset into the switch and Any timing configuration can be supplied, i.e. 24.00Hrs to 06.00Hrs for the dimmed period.

Also automatic B.S.T. TO G.M.T. changeover function built in.

Other timings can be configured as requied.

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. Standard gear options available:

70w dimming to 50w
100w dimming to 70w
150w dimming to 100w
250w dimming to 150w
400w dimming to 250w
