#2: Supported loads

As a dimmer it operates under the following loads:
• 120V operated conventional incandescent and halogen light
sources
• 12V operated ELV halogen lamps and dimmable LED bulbs (with
electronic transformers)
• 12V operated MLV halogen lamps (with ferromagnetic
transformers)
• dimmable LED bulbs
• dimmable compact fluorescent CFL tube lamps
• supported dimmable light sources (power factor > 0.5) with
minimal power of 5VA using FIBARO Bypass 2 (depending on the
type of load)
Without dimming function it may work with:
• compact fluorescent CFL tube lamps with electronic ballast
• fluorescent tube lamps with electronic ballast
• LED bulbs (power factor > 0.7)
• supported light sources (power factor > 0.5) with minimal power
of 5VA using FIBARO Bypass 2 (depending on the type of load)
Applied load and the Dimmer 2 itself may be damaged if
!
the applied load is inconsistent with the technical specifi-
cations!
When connecting FIBARO Dimmer 2 act in accordance with the
following rules:
• Do not connect loads greater or less than those recommended
• Do not connect different types of light sources simultaneously
• Do not connect the power supply without a load
• Do not connect more than one transformer with Dimmer 2 output
• When using magnetic transformer load it with 50% of its nominal
power at minimum
• Minimize number of electronic transformers in a circuit, noises
caused by them in electrical grids may affect Dimmer's operation
