1 IMPORTANT WARNINGS! Risk of electric shock! The device DU 1 RF does not have basic insulation around the terminals and plug connection! The inputs carry mains voltage! When connecting the inputs or before any intervention at one of the inputs, interrupt the 230 V supply of the device.
For dimming incandescent lamps, low voltage and high voltage halogen lamps, dimmable LED retrofit lamps • Also suitable for controlling fans • Dimming output: 250 W • Automatic load detection (can be deactivated) • For R, L and C-loads Flush-mounted dimming actuator DU 1...
The input I1 is then used exclusively for this function and is no longer connected to the bus in this configuration, i.e. there are no communication objects.

The output with LED lamps in the leading edge is largely depending on the lamp type. Therefore, the dimmer might dim down because of an excess temperature. In this case, select the trailing edge operating mode! The device will not be damaged by this. Flush-mounted dimming actuator DU 1...
When connecting a larger number of LED lamps in parallel, the function might be impaired even with loads < 250W. The reason for this are the accumulating inrush currents, which may vary widely, depending on the type of lamp. Flush-mounted dimming actuator DU 1...
