Loading
Lamp dims up and down constantly:
• Ensureslaveswitchhasbeenused,nottwowayswitch
• Buttonpressedtoohardandjammed.Releasebutton
• Slavewiringmorethan10mlong.Useshieldedortwistedwiring.
Load cannot be controlled by slave switch:
• EnsureonlyDANLERSslaveswitchesareused.
Load can only be switched off or dimmed down by slave switch:
• EnsurethattheslaveswitchisconnectedtoLandnottoV.
Lamp ickers:
• Minimumloadnotreached.FitRESLOADE
• Electronictransformerunstable.Trytting:RESLOADE
• Loadincompatiblewith‘leadingedgedimming’
Please consider using DANLERS Quiet Grid dimmer.
Soft start dimmer fails after some time:
• Halogenlamp,notincorporatinganintegralsafetyfuse,failed.
Soft start dimmer ‘buzzes’:
• Thiscanoccurwith‘leadingedge’dimmers,
Please consider using DANLERS Quiet Grid dimmer.
Soft start dimmer gets warm:
• Thiscanoccurwithdimmers,especiallywhencontrollinglargeloads.
Troubleshooting
