IMPORTANT!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Failure to follow these instructions may result

in premature bulb failure.

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 4 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.
