CORE Lighting Controls
e. When ON, the slider shall change the light level/fan speed. When OFF, the slider shall set the
preset the light level/fan speed that the control will turn ON to.
f. Paddle switch shall turn lights/fan ON to the preselected level, or OFF.
g. Paddle switch and slider shall be captured internal to the control.
h. 3-Way controls shall be capable of multi-location ON and mechanical air-gap OFF using standard
3-way and 4-way switches. Multi-location switches shall be DEVINE decorator style with a gloss
finish.
i. Within rated capacity, dimmers shall be available for direct control of incandescent, halogen,
magnetic low voltage, electronic low voltage, and fluorescent. Matching fan-speed controls shall
also be available.
j. Controls shall be capable of operating at the rated capacity; this includes modified capacities for
ganging configurations which require the removal of fins (tabs). Operation at rated capacity shall
be possible across the full ambient temperature range, without shortening design lifetime.
k. To ensure a precise color match between all plastic parts, color variation of any gloss finish control
shall not exceed a delta E of 1, CIE L*a*b* color units, as defined in ASTM E 308-99.
l. Dimmer shall provide smooth and continuous Square Law dimming curve, for the full slider travel,
on their rated load per The IESNA Lighting Handbook, 9th edition, p. 27-4.
m. Controls shall meet the applicable requirements of UL 20 and UL 1472 referring to the inclusion of
a visible, accessible air-gap off switch and the limited short circuit test.
n. Controls shall meet ANSI/IEEE Std. C62.41-1980, tested to withstand voltage surges of up to
6000V and current surges of up to 200A without damage.
o. Dimmers shall be designed to reduce interference with radio, audio, and video equipment.
p. Controls shall incorporate power-failure memory. Should power be interrupted and subsequently
returned, the lights or fans will come back on to the same levels set prior to the power interruption.
Restoration to some other default level is not acceptable.
q. Controls shall not be susceptible to damage or loss of memory due to static discharge.
r. Controls shall operate in an ambient temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F).
s. 3-Way controls shall wire using conventional 3-way and 4-way wire runs.
2. Incandescent & Magnetic Low Voltage (MLV) Transformer Dimmers
a. Provide unit operating as single-pole/3-way incandescent/magnetic low voltage dimmers in 600
Watts (DI06P) and 1000 Watts (DI10P) capacities.
b. Dimmer shall be capable of being wired as either a single-pole or 3-way device.
c. Dimmer shall be capable of operating in either 3-way switch location.
d. Dimmers shall contain circuitry specifically designed to control and provide a symmetrical AC
waveform to the input of magnetic low voltage transformers per UL1472 section 5.11.
e. Dimmers shall not cause a magnetic low voltage transformer to operate above the transformers
rated operating current or temperature.
3. Electronic (Solid State) Low Voltage (ELV) Transformer Dimmers
a. Provide ELV dimmer for direct control of up to 600 watts (DE06P) of electronic low voltage load.
b. Dimmer shall be capable of being wired as either a single-pole or 3-way device.
c. Dimmers shall contain circuitry specifically designed to control the input of electronic (solid state)
low voltage transformers. Dimmers using standard phase control shall not be acceptable.
d. Dimmers shall be designed to withstand a short, per UL 1472 section 5.10, between load hot and
either neutral or ground without damage to the dimmer.
4. Fluorescent Dimming Ballast Dimmers
a. Provide 8A (DF8AP) Fluorescent dimmer for direct control of fluorescent dimming ballasts up to the
manufacturers specified rating.
b. Dimmers shall be designed to operate the following ballasts:
1) Advance Mark 10® Powerline
2) Advance Ambistar®
3) Tu-Wire™ High Performance Dimming Ballasts (5% 2-wire)
b. Dimmer shall be capable of being wired as either a single-pole or 3-way device.
