Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for brightness control of lighting devices.
- dimmers for mounting in a flush-mounted box are for switching and dimming of a consumer or a consumer group. Such dimmers can be exchanged in existing systems for switches or change-over switches become.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device that has a series switch can replace and allows two consumers to be dimmed independently.
- Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a dimmer.
- the device contains a power supply unit 1 for supplying its electronic devices.
- Network synchronization 2 denotes means for detecting zero current crossing, which enable operation with leading edge control. The device can alternatively, you can also work with phase control.
- a first driver and Power stage 3 forms a first dimmer I with a first output I.1.
- a second Driver and output stage 4 forms a second dimmer II with a second output II.1.
- a connection terminal for the phase conductor L is a common input terminal available.
- a common microcontroller is used to control the two dimmers I, II 6 arranged.
- the device is designed as a basic device, onto which different operating parts can be attached are. Suitable is e.g. a operated standard touch dimmer, one each Half of the touch surface can be used to operate a dimmer I, II. Connectable is also a control panel 8 with two buttons 81, 82 or a control panel 7 with double potentiometers 71, 72 and separate switches (not shown). Such controls can be connected to the microcontroller 6 via inputs 61, 62.
- the device can have further terminals, in particular at least one extension input NE, and if necessary for each extension input NE means 5 for Level adjustment and isolation, e.g. Optocoupler.
- each extension input NE means 5 for Level adjustment and isolation, e.g. Optocoupler.
- To such an extension entrance NE can be connected to control points remote from the device, e.g. also several switches connected in parallel to control one of the dimmers I, II the use of the means 5 for level adjustment and isolation can push buttons switched to phase L.
