Appearance, Function and Applications

This PowerGrid dimmer is push on/off and rotary controlled, meaning to turn the dimmer on or off simply push the dimmer spindle in and it will click back out; then to turn the brightness up or down, rotate the spindle clockwise and anti-clockwise.
..................................................
V-Dim PowerGrid dimmers are also suitable for either 1 way, or 2 way circuits. What does 1 or 2 way mean? It means you are able to use this type of dimmer for both 1 way circuits (1 dimmer controlling 1 light) and 2 way circuits (1 dimmer and 1 switch controlling the same light). If the lighting circuit is controlled by 1 dimmer and 2 switches (3 way), in seperate locations then one of the switches in the circuit must be an Intermediate Switch Intermediate Switch with four terminals enabling you to link all three switches together.
..................................................
The V-Dim Series PowerGrid Dimmers are Leading Edge and can be used with mains voltage lighting, mains incandescent GLS lamps (standard mains light bulbs), up to the maximum load as specified on the dimmer, GU10 or similar Hi Spot Mains Halogen lamps (only use good quality lamps) up to the maximum load as shown in the PDF instruction manual.
..................................................
The V-Dim PowerGrid Series are equipped with 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.
..................................................
The V-Dim PowerGrid Series Push on/off Dimmers can be used in 2 way circuits (where one lighting circuit is controlled from two locations). In order to achieve 2 way switching, they must be paired with a standard 2 way switch in the other location. 3-way switching can be achieved by adding an intermediate switch in to the circuit. When using V-Dim Series Push on/off Dimmers in a 2 or 3 way circuit the lights can only be dimmed from the location that the dimmer is situated in, if total dimming is preferred from many switched locations, in a 2, 3 or more way circuit then choose the Varilight Touch and Remote range of dimmers, in conjunction with Slave Dimmers, like the V-Pro IR Series, alternatively opt for the V-Pro Smart Range.

Limitations

The best suited 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.
..................................................
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.
..................................................
These dimmers will NOT dim LEDs, if dimming LEDs choose either the V-Pro, V-Pro IR, Multi-Point Remote, Multi-Point Touch, or V-Com Dimmer Series.
