Ordering KeyProduct Description
The G3448 5234 2-output
lighting scene dimmer is a
component of the Dupline
Installation System. It permits
different types of lamps with
wattages up to 2 x 230 W to
be operated and dimmed and
enables up to 4 lighting
arrangements (per output) to
be stored, which can then be
retrieved at any time. In addi-
tion, it transmits the status of
the dimming output for every
individual output. The dimmer
setting which was selected
last is stored as a "memory
setting" in the internal memo-
ry and is reselected next time
the lighting is switched on via
channel 1/5. A power failure
will erase the memory setting.
The brightness of the lighting
scenes is preset at the factory
in steps; these settings can-
not be altered. By the aid of
push-button combinations or
by means of the test unit, the
lighting scenes can be
unlocked, modified and also
retrieved. With the change-
over switches on the front
panel, it is possible to select
either negative phase angle
control or positive phase
angle control dimming. The
lighting is switched on via a
bulb-conserving softstart
facility. The dimmer is elec-
tronically protected at the
power output against over-
load and short circuits. The
"Fault" LED on the front indi-
cates both faults by means of
different flashing frequencies.
An alarm caused by an over-
load or short circuit must be
reset manually after rectifying
the fault by disconnecting the
phase from the mains supply
for approx. 3 seconds.

Mode of Operation
Coding
With the GAP1605 programming unit, each switching channel
can be assigned any address between A1 and P8 via the mod-
ular socket on the front of the dimmer. The allocation of the
channels is as follows:
Functions which are not required should remain uncoded. The
coding of the dimmer can be carried out without either supply
voltage or Dupline signal. It is retained permanently, but may be
overwritten at any time. The Dimmer outputs are configured in
such a way at the factory that they will be switched off in the
event of a fault. This configuration, too, can be changed with
the GAP1605. Setting "1" results in switching on the lighting to
100% in case of a fault, while setting "0" switches off the Dim-
mer outputs (factory setting).
Putting into service
Commissioning may only be carried out by an authorized,
trained technician. Observe the connection diagram when
installing. All lines to be connected must be dead. The N-con-
nection is absolutely necessary for the operation of the dimmer.
The desired operating mode should be selected before con-
necting the phase, because the switches are disabled during
operation as a safeguard against accidental r esetting.
Although an incorrect setting will result in malfunction, it will not
cause irreparable damage to the dimmer. The following table
shows the allocation of terminals:
Connections between the Dupline signal and to earth potential
will cause malfunctions and are not permissible. Attention
should be paid to the correct polarity of the supply voltage and
the Dupline signal. In order to meet the r equir ements for pr otec-
tive low voltage, VDE 0100, part 410, should be observed and
applied during installation.
Functions and programming
The dimmer is programmed with the GAP1605 programming
unit. Up to eight addresses can be pr ogrammed, 2 x 3 of which
(IN/OUT 1-3, 5-7 of the GAP1605) are dedicated to controlling
the dimmer itself (light level) - see the following table "Factory
Settings". The remaining two addresses (IN/OUT 4, 8 of the
GAP1605) are output signals on the bus and indicating if the
dimmers are activated. The addresses are selected in the con-
figuration software as push button channels.
The eight addresses (including two status signal addr esses)
The light levels 3 and 4 can be programmed by combining 2
addresses.
( ) Factory settings
The shown values are factory settings and are consequently
protected against accidental resetting. Nevertheless, it is possi-
ble to disable the protection to change the default values. The
following steps 1-4 explain how the protection can be disabled,
the values changed, the protection reestablished and default
settings restored. The steps are explained with addresses for
Dimmer 1, but the same is valid for Dimmer 2.
