Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of lighting is this dimmer compatible with?

This dimmer is designed for electronic ballasts or LED drivers that use a 1-10V control interface. It can also work with LED converters that have a passive 1-10V interface up to 0.6mA.

Can I use this dimmer with standard LED bulbs?

No, this dimmer is not designed for direct connection to standard mains voltage LED bulbs. It requires a compatible driver or ballast with a 1-10V control input.

How do I set the minimum brightness?

The minimum brightness level can be set using the dedicated % rotary switch on the device. Refer to the installation manual for precise instructions.

What is the standby power consumption?

The dimmer has a very low standby loss of only 1 watt.

Does the dimmer remember my settings after a power outage?

Yes, the dimmer saves the last switching position and brightness level and can restore them automatically upon the return of the supply voltage.

Can I control the dimming speed?

Yes, the dimming speed is adjustable via the 'dim-speed' rotary switch on the device.

What is the Children's Room Function?

This function, activated via the control button, switches the light on at minimum brightness and slowly dims up if the button is held, without changing the last saved brightness level.

How does the snooze function work?

The snooze function uses a double pulse on the control button to dim and switch off the lighting from its current position to minimum brightness, with a maximum dimming time of 60 minutes.

Troubleshooting

Dimmer not responding to control buttons

Verify that the control buttons are correctly wired to the designated terminals. Ensure the buttons themselves are functional.

Lights flicker or do not dim smoothly

Check if the connected LED drivers or ballasts are compatible with 1-10V control and the dimmer's output specifications. Ensure the minimum brightness is not set too low.

Dimmer does not retain settings after power loss

Confirm that the device is receiving stable power. Refer to the installation manual to ensure memory functions are correctly configured, as this feature depends on proper power return.

Unit overheats or shows no output

Ensure the load connected does not exceed the 600VA rating. Verify wiring for correct polarity and secure connections. If the issue persists, the unit may require professional inspection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Energy efficient with very low standby loss (1W).
  • Durable and reliable due to wear-free electronic control and zero-crossing switching.
  • Offers advanced customization options like minimum brightness, dimming speed, and special functions (children's room, snooze).
  • Retains settings after power outages, ensuring a seamless user experience.
  • Suitable for controlling a wide range of loads up to 600VA.

Cons

  • Requires professional installation; not a simple plug-and-play device.
  • Primarily designed for 1-10V controlled lighting systems, limiting compatibility with older or simpler dimming types.
  • Advanced features may require a learning curve for optimal configuration.
  • The unit is not designed for direct connection to mains voltage LED bulbs without a compatible driver.
  • The machine-translated description may lead to minor interpretation issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Eltako 21100800 is designed for professional installation. It requires wiring into a suitable lighting control circuit. After initial installation and connecting the consumer, it is crucial to wait for automatic synchronization before the load is activated. Direction buttons or a universal button can be connected for manual control.

Compatibility: This dimmer is specifically designed for electronic ballasts or LED drivers that feature a 1-10V control interface. It can also control LED converters with a passive 1-10V interface up to 0.6mA without auxiliary voltage. The supply voltage is 8-230V multi-voltage, and it supports loads up to 600VA. It is not directly compatible with standard mains voltage LED bulbs or incandescent lamps without appropriate drivers.

Care: Due to its internal components and professional installation requirements, routine care typically involves ensuring adequate ventilation around the unit. Cleaning should only be done with a dry cloth if access is possible, avoiding any liquid contact. No user-serviceable parts are inside.
