Compatible Loads

The Load compatibility table shows the loads that are compatible with the C-Bus Digital Dimmers: 8 channel and 4 channel.

8 Channel

Load	Compatible Load Types	Load Rating	Lamp Rating
			at 230 Vac	at 110 Vac
LED	Dimmable LED Lamps and luminaries	1 A per channel	230 W	110 W
	Incandescent/Halogen Lamps
	Halogen Lamps with electronic transformers
	Halogen Lamps with dimmable iron core transformers

4 Channel

Load	Compatible Load Types	Load Rating	Lamp Rating
			at 230 Vac	at 110 Vac
LED	Dimmable LED Lamps and luminaries	2 A per channel	460 W	220 W
	Incandescent/Halogen Lamps
	Halogen Lamps with electronic transformers
	Halogen Lamps with dimmable iron core transformers

NOTE: The installer should ensure that an appropriate manually operated mechanical isolating switch and circuit breaker is installed with the load, complying with the local wiring rules.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that motorized loads, such as exhaust fans and ceiling fans are connected to the relevant C-Bus relays rather than dimmers.

NOTICE
Equipment Damage Use of non-dimmable loads (including non-dimmable loads connected the secondary of an iron-core transformer) can reduce the effectiveness of the dimmer’s inbuilt protection mechanisms. Operation of these types of load may result in permanent damage to the dimmer channel. Never connect a load to a channel whilst the channel is powered this includes the changing lamp fittings. Doing so reduces the ability of the dimmer channel to protect itself against incompatible loads and doing so with some types of load may result in permanent damage to the dimmer channel. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
