Intelligent Building SeriesC-Bus 12 Channel Professional Architectural Dimmer Installation Instructions6.16 Channel Line VoltageThe output of each channel may be limited in a range 50..220 Volts. Monitoringthe line voltage for each phase, and compensating for any changes in linevoltage achieve this control. This control is accurate to ± 10%. That is, an outputline voltage of 110V is selected then the dimmer may generate a voltage inrange 99 to 121 volts. If the channel output voltage is measured, then a TrueRMS type voltmeter must be used, as the AC waveform is chopped. Be awarethat this is an electronic control. Should a power device short circuit, the loadcould be subject to the actual line voltage and may suffer some damage. Inaddition, if the C-Bus 12 Channel Professional Architectural Dimmer is subjectto electrical noise it may falsely trigger the power devices. In this case the loadwill be subject to transient voltage for a short period of time, and will probablynot suffer damage.Note that if a channel line voltage is selected that is greater than the actual linevoltage, the maximum output of the channel can only be the local line voltage.To view a channel line voltage when ACL is displayed in the display press theSET button. All 12 channel LEDs will flash. Press a channel button to view thechannel voltage for that channel. Press CONTROL to return to the main menu.To change a channel voltages press the SET button whilst a channel voltage isbeing displayed. The century digit will flash. Press a channel button in the range1..9 or 0, or press the SET button to leave the current value. Repeat for the tensand units values. Press the CONTROL button at any time while a digit isflashing to cancel the change.You may enter a number in the range 50..220 volts. Entering a number higherthan 220 will set the output to track the line input, and show “LIN” on thedisplay. For normal usage each channel should be set to “LIN”.The output current will automatically adjust to fit the selected output voltage.6.17 Viewing and Setting the Channel PatchThe C-Bus 12 Channel Professional Architectural Dimmer can patch individualchannels to any DMX input channel available. That is, it determines which DMXinput channel is used to control a specified dimmer channel On the C-Bus 12Channel Professional Architectural Dimmer a dimmer channel may only beassociated with one DMX input channel.To view the channel patch when PAT shows in the display, press the SETbutton. All 12 channel LEDs will flash. Press a channel button to view the patchfor that channel. Press CONTROL to return to the previous menu.To change a channel patch, press the SET button whilst a channel patch isbeing displayed. The century digit will flash. Press a channel button in the range1..9 or 0, or press the SET button to leave the current value. Repeat for the tensand units value.

Intelligent Building SeriesC-Bus 12 Channel Professional Architectural Dimmer Installation Instructions7.0 Priority of Operating ModesLoads connected to the C-Bus 12 Channel Professional Architectural Dimmer arecontrolled by a combination of C-Bus keys, Local Override buttons and/or RemoteSwitch functions. Loads are also turned off when the dimmer overheats or channels aredisabled. The table below shows the priority ranking of the control inputs:* Local Override has priority over normal C-Bus commands received on the bus (suchas those generated by pressing a C-Bus key). Y default, if any channel is in LocalOverride mode and a C-Bus command is received for that channel, the C-Buscommand state will be imposed (“Enable C-Bus Priority” option). This feature can bedisabled in software such that the unit whilst in Local Override Mode will ignore allrelevant C-Bus commands. Please refer to the C-Bus Manual for further informationrelating to the programming of PRO Series dimmer units.Mode Priority FunctionMax Voltage Scaling 1 (Highest) Maximum output voltageChannel Isolated 2 Fault conditionChannel Disabled 3 User disableChannel Curve Scaling 4User selectable dimmingcurvesMaximum Level Scaling 5 Max output levelMinimum Level Scaling 6 Min output levelFlash Channel 7 Flash output to maxRemote OFF 8 C-Bus override OFFRemote ON 9 C-Bus override ONLocal Toggle 10 * Buttons on front panelC-Bus 11 * (Lowest) C-Bus input levelNote:When channels of the C-Bus 12 Channel Professional Architectural dimmer are beingcontrolled by DMX rather than C-Bus the Remote OFF, Remote ON and C-Bus modesare not used.

Intelligent Building SeriesC-Bus 12 Channel Professional Architectural Dimmer Installation Instructions8.0 Fault Diagnosis8.1 ProtectionC-Bus 12 Channel Professional Architectural Dimmers feature several types ofprotection. These can generally be classified as:• Output protection• Thermal protection• Over voltage protection• Over and under frequency protection• Soft Start8.1.1 Output ProtectionEach of the twelve output circuits is protected by a fast-acting thermalmagnetic circuit breaker. These breakers are designed to pass the ratedcurrent, but will disconnect the output circuit for any overload condition(the larger the overload, the quicker the disconnection).The breakers protect the dimmers output devices from short-circuit loadsand faulty wiring looms, and save on expensive dimmer repairs. A trippedcircuit breaker indicates a load fault that requires immediate attention.8.1.2 Thermal ProtectionThe C-Bus 12 Channel Professional Architectural Dimmers featuretemperature-controlled fan cooling. As the internal temperature of thedimmer increases, the fan starts to operate. The fan operates attemperatures above 50 o C.8.1.3 Supply Power Fault ProtectionThe C-Bus 12 Channel Professional Architectural Dimmers electroniccircuits will tolerate significant over-voltages and accidentally transposedactive-neutral connection with no internal or output load damage.8.1.4 Over and Under Frequency ProtectionThe C-Bus 12 Channel Professional Architectural Dimmers constantlymonitor the mains frequency. If the mains frequency falls below 40Hz orabove 80Hz the unit will isolate all 12 output channels until the mainsfrequency returns to within range.8.1.5 Soft StartWhen a channel is first turned on to a level greater than 50% the voltageis limited for the first 5 mains half cycles (at 50Hz this is a duration of 0.05seconds). This allows the bulb filament to warm up, minimizing nuisancecircuit breaker tripping. Soft start is applied to a channel after it has beenat a level of 0% for a period greater than 1.5 seconds. This allows thechannel to be flashed on and off repeatedly, but have it soft start onlyonce.© Copyright 2003 Clipsal Integrated Systems Pty Ltd. Page 23

Intelligent Building SeriesC-Bus 12 Channel Professional Architectural Dimmer Installation Instructions8.2 Output FaultsIf a short-circuit lamp or output cable is plugged into the dimmer, the circuitbreaker will disconnect the fault from the dimmer. In nearly all circumstances, itis quick enough to prevent damage to the output devices in the dimmer. Insome instances however, a failure may be experienced, although the dimmer istypically robust to this. If an output channel is damaged isolate it with its circuitbreaker.8.3 DMX FaultsThe C-Bus 12 Channel Professional Architectural Dimmers feature a Last Holdfacility that remembers the last received DMX message. In the event of a DMXsignal cable being unplugged or severed, the dimmer will hold the last DMXsignal until a new DMX message is received. The DMX LED will light whenthere is a DMX signal, be off if the dimmer has not received DMX or flashcontinuously if a previously received DMX signal has disappeared.8.4 Phase Fault IndicationThe three green PHASE LEDs on the front panel will light when all three phaseshave power. A missing phase will also be reported as error “E09”.8.5 Error MessagesSeveral messages such as E06 though E09 may appear on the seven-segmentdisplay. These indicate error conditions. The RUN LED flashes rapidly to attractattention. Errors E07 to E09 will disable all the outputs. After properinvestigation, the messages can be erased from the display by holding theCONTROL key while pressing on the FLASH key.
