17. 12v then read this section as it is very important TRANSFORMERS FOR LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING COMPATABILITY Your Futronix dimmer is designed to Dim on the LEADING EDGE of the mains AC power supply sine wave This is superior technology to LAGGING EDGE dimming used in some European countries If you are using transformers supplied from these countries or light fittings with integral transformers you will have to check to see that they can be dimmed by LEADING EDGE dimmers This only applies to electronic transformers wire wound ones can be dimmed by either type of dimmer However wire wound transformers are becoming less popular due to their larger size weight and lower efficiency If your electronic transformers are LAGGING EDGE you will need to replace them with a quality LEADING EDGE electronic transformer The UK USA and most other countries in the world use LEADING EDGE dimming as standard Exceptions are European countries such as Germany and Italy If the transformer is of the wrong type it will not dim properly it will generate more noise than usual and may damage the dimmer If you don t wish to change the transformer you can always just set the circuit to switching only The circuit can then be set up to either turn ON or OFF on any scene without dimming See the section describing this on Page 29 SELECTING THE LOCATION FOR MOUNTING YOUR DIMMER The first thing when fitting a scene dimmer is to select the location of where it is to be

20. Futronix dimmers being all digital are quieter than most dimmers Excessive noise can be generated by having the wrong transformers fitted as described above Noise can be generated by the transformers and the fittings themselves We would recommend you swap transformers for high quality ones Futronix and or change your fittings for higher quality ones The mounting of both of these items can influence noise Transformers should be mounted where vibration from them cannot be amplified An example of this is where they are left lying on a plaster board ceiling void 7 The dimmer appears to overheat the front plate is quite hot Check the loadings Add up the number of lamps on each circuit and multiply that by the wattage of each one The total on each circuit should be less than the MAX value of your dimmer See Diagram 1 page 7 The total load of all circuits shouldn t exceed the TOTAL given for the dimmer You take into account the load of a low voltage transformer i e a 50Watt 12v lamp will have a higher loading due to the transformer losses Transformers often go faulty wire wound and electronic and they can then consume a lot more power than their rating It is worth checking all the low voltage transformers A bad one will often get quite hot If you are not sure substitute with a known good transformer The rule of thumb is if the dimmer is getting hot it is unlikely to be the dimmer butalmost certainly it will be a pro
