Varilight V-Pro Smart Series Master Dimmer (non WIFI), 4 Gang, can be used for both 1 or 2 Way circuits, 0-120 Watt Micro-Push On/Off Rotary LED Trailing Edge Dimmer, on a Double Plate, for most good quality LEDs. The dimmer has special software with the ability to adjust the minimum/maximum brightness, change the driving mode to Leading Edge, set a child lock and setting a Boost level. All these settings can be done from the front face without the need for dimmer removal.This product is not for use with WiFi. Choose Master Dimmer with WiFi for Smartphone Control.

One of the most common product requests we've had over the past decade has been a rotary controlled dimmer with the capability to dim from multiple positions. Until recently, the technology hasn't been available to do this but with the new simple to use V-Pro Smart Rotary dimmers, Varilight has now made it possible.
..................................................
The new range of V-Pro Smart dimmers uses an encoder in place of a potentiometer, allowing for infinite rotation of all the lighting controls on the circuit. This means that it doesn't matter where the control is on a different position, all that matters is what you're inputting when you want to adjust the lighting, making Multi-Way dimming possible while maintaining the look and feel of a rotary dimmer.

It is important to select the correct dimmer switch for your application, so please read the following information carefully, if need be look at PDF manuals, and if you are still unsure, then contact us.

Appearance, Function and Applications

This dimmer is Micro-push on/off and rotary controlled, meaning to turn the dimmer on or off simply push the dimmer knob in slightly, and it will click back out; then to turn the brightness up or down, rotate the knob clockwise and anti-clockwise. This dimmer is different to conventional dimmers, as has been designed so the spindle can keep on turning with no definite stop.
..................................................
V-Pro Smart micro-Push on/off dimmers are suitable for both 1 way and 2 way circuits, and can be used for multi-way circuits too.
..................................................
The V-Pro Smart Series are programmable intelligent dimmers with a choice of dimming modes for wider compatibility. All V-Pro Smart dimmers offer superior dimming technology to deliver the best possible dimming performance for numerous applications. It is also possible to set a child lock and has a special Boost Level setting. All these settings can be performed whilst the dimmer is attached to the wall.
..................................................
V-Pro Smart Series dimmer switches are trailing edge by default, Mode 1, this versatile mode is suitable for most dimmable LEDs and is also gentler on the load. Some types of dimmable LED perform best with Leading-Edge control, Mode 2 on the dimmer. Mode 3 is suitable for some LED drivers. The driving modes can be easily changed by following the instructions under 'Programming' as shown in the dimmer instructions manual.
..................................................
Boost Level Function: Some LED lights require a large amount of power to come on and so do not illuminate at low brightness levels. The Boost Level Function caters for LED lights that require more power at start up by rising the start up brightness level, and putting the brightness back to the specified level.
..................................................
Some LEDs are set to a default minimum brightness which may be too bright, the dimmer can be easily adjusted so the minimum or maximum brightness of the LED is set to your own desired setting.
..................................................
There are some extra functions of this dimmer that can be used alongside the regular push on/off and rotary dim controls. A sharp turn up will set the dimmers to maximum brightness, with a sharp turn down setting them to minimum brightness. Either of these can be performed from off. Turning the dimmer slowly in either direction from off will bring the dimmers on at minimum brightness, allowing you to ramp up from a very low level.
..................................................
The V-Pro Smart Series (non WIFI) were primarily designed for Dimmable LEDs, the dimmers, with a minimum load of 0 Watts and maximum load of 120 watts, can operate the majority of quality dimmable LEDs on the market, it works especially well with the manufacturers, Megaman, Philips and Integral, and any of the LEDs that we sell. They are also suitable for most dimmable electronic transformers, with no minimum load, especially Varilight's transformers.
..................................................
When using Electronic Low Voltage Transformers we recommend that a maximum of 5 good quality dimmable Electronic Transformers are used (10 if Varilight Transformers) with this dimmer range. Please note: add the watts of the bulbs/lamps if using Varilight Transformers, to determine which wattage of dimmer to select, but if using another manufacturer of Transformer, add up the VA of the Transformers so it does not exceed the maximum of the dimmer. Please note that noise levels can depend on the quality of the Transformer being used.
..................................................
The V-Pro Smart Series are equipped with some intelligent features: Soft-Start Technology, allows a longer life span of the bulbs or lamps used by increasing the brightness level softly, which also creates a welcoming effect; Self Re-setting Overload Protection, so is able to handle overload situations, for example, if the wattage of the bulbs/lamps are accidentally too high on a circuit. This is achieved by either, stepping down the dimmer's output to the lamps (if the watts are marginally overloaded), or the dimmer cuts out before there is any damage, (if the watts are grossly overloaded), until the load is reduced and the dimmerswitch is switched off and then switched back on again. However, if the dimmerswitch receives a total short circuit it may be damaged beyond repair, and in this circumstance, the warranty is void; Intelligent Thermal Protection which again stops damage to the dimmer, if it becomes too hot.
..................................................

2 Way Dimming

The V-Pro Smart Series Push on/off Dimmers can also be used in 2 way circuits (where one lighting circuit is controlled from two locations). In order to achieve 2 way dimming, they must be paired with a V-Pro Smart Series Companion Controller in the other location. 3 way dimming can be achieved by adding an extra V-Pro Smart Companion Controllers in to the circuit. When using V-Pro Smart Series Dimmers in 2 or 3 way circuits, the lights can be dimmed from any locations that the Master and Companion Controllers are situated in.
..................................................

Limitations

The best dimmer series for dimming Electronic Low Voltage Transformers, including dimming more than 5 Transformers, is the V-Plus Series, which has many features including Overload Protection; Soft Start which is gentler on the load; and Dimmer Buzz Elimination, that can be created from the transformers. V-Plus can NOT dim LEDs.
..................................................
Varilight Dimmers can NOT be used for wire-wound or torroidal Transformers. For Fan applications choose V-Dim Solid State Series, please check with manufacturer of appliance to be dimmed.
..................................................
For dimming lighting panels such as LED or CFL, choose the V-Com Series.
..................................................
These Dimmers are NOT suitable for TRIAC compatibility LED dimming, for this type of dimming, choose the V-Com Series.
..................................................

Cleaning

This product can be easily cleaned with a soft dry micro-fibre cloth. Never apply masking tape or other similar tape to the product. Avoid the use of any cleaning chemicals and always use a Gasket on freshly plastered, painted or damp walls as the plates may tarnish. (Plaster can take up to 6 months to dry out). A Gasket can be made from the packaging the product comes in, or a plastic bag can be cut to stop the plate touching the plaster. Unfortunately, if these Instructions are not followed, and the plate is damaged, it will void the product warranty.
