Cumberland CFL and CCL Lighting Curves allow you to dim your dimmable CFL and CCL bulbs with your Evolution Variable Output Controllers.

  • Variable Curve jumpers: select the best lighting or fan motor curve for your specific needs.
  • Optimized for CFL bulbs: The "Jumper Removed" curve gives finer intensity control and is a good choice for CFL bulbs.
  • Test both curves: Try both the "Light" curve (jumper installed) and "Jumper Removed" curve to determine which works best with your chosen bulbs.

CFL and CCL Lighting Curves for
Evolution Variable Output Controllers
IMPORTANT:
1. The Variable Curve jumpers are used for selecting the light setting or fan motor curves. The jumper
must be placed in the appropriate position or removed based on the equipment being varied.
Software version V0.07 and later includes new functionality which allows the EV-VAR to function with
CFL and CCL bulbs.
2. Dimmable CFL and CCL bulbs do not dim in the same manner as incandescent bulbs and therefore
require testing to choose the best specific intensity curve that is programmed into the EV-VAR
controller.
3. It is important that both the “Light” curve (jumper installed in the “Light” position) and also the “Jumper
Removed” curve (selected by removing the jumper altogether) be tried and tested to select the one
that works best with the customer chosen CFL or CCL bulbs. When determining which curve to use,
vary the intensity of the bulb from 0%-100% and make sure that there is not a point at which the bulbs
strobe or flicker. If the bulbs strobe or flicker at any point in the curve, it may shorten the life of the
CFL or CCL bulb. Also give special attention and observe the point at which the lights are at full
intensity. For example, if the lights seem to be at full intensity at dimmer setting “6” on the “Light”
curve, remove the jumper altogether to see if this gives finer control throughout the variable range.
4. The “Jumper Removed” curve is optimized for CFL bulbs such as the ones that Retrolite distributes.
It gives the user finer intensity control throughout the entire range from 0%-100%.
• Ensure that software version V0.07 or later is installed before use of CFL or CCL bulbs.
• If controlling dimmable CFL or CCL bulbs, the jumper selection should be tested for the best
results.
5. Failure to follow these instructions may result in premature bulb failure.
See curve and condition table below for each jumper setting and description.
Curve Condition
LIGHT For use with incandescent light bulbs; Sometimes also used with CFL and CCL bulbs. Refer to instructions
above.
Jumper
Removed
For this curve, the jumper is not installed in any of the four positions. This curve is sometimes used with CFL
and CCL bulbs. Refer to instructions above.
FAN0 This curve is optimized for use with Cumberland’s line of Funnel Flow Fans that are 24" or less. Also, the line
voltage must be single phase.
FAN1 This curve lends itself better to operation of 36" fans. The power distributed at each percentage is somewhat
greater than that of curve FAN0. Therefore, the speed will be a little greater than that of curve FAN0.
FAN2 This curve is optimized for use with the Emerson 1/3 HP motors which is used with 24" and smaller fans.
120 VAC is present when power is applied. Disconnect and lock out/tag out all
the electrical power supply to the system before performing any service or
maintenance.
