Type Description
N 528/31, N 527/31, N 527/32 universal dimmer main modules
• Interface for connecting universal dimmer submodules and with
software for controlling up to 5 universal dimmer submodules
• Power supply of electronics via AC 230 V, 50/60 Hz
• One output for switching and dimming resistive, inductive or ca-
pacitive loads
• Automatic adjustment to leading edge or trailing edge control,
depending on the type of load
• Electronic protection of the output against overload, short cir-
cuit and temperature rise
• Reporting of overload, short circuit and temperature rise via the
bus
• Configurable parallel operation of the outputs of two universal
dimmer submodules for 20…1000 VA for doubling the dimming
power to 40…2000 VA
• 2 subsidiary inputs for 230 V AC (with neutral line as reference
potential) for connecting 2 conventional pushbuttons for direct
switching and dimming of the output and with selectable addi-
tional transmission of these switching and dimming commands
via the bus
• Length of connecting lines on the subsidiary inputs up to 100 m
• A pushbutton on top of the device for switching between bus
mode and direct mode and for selecting the device (output
A…F) to be switched directly
• Yellow LED to indicate direct mode activated
• Status object for reporting direct mode
• 6 bicolor LEDs for indicating the switch status (red = on, green
= off) or an error (blinking) in the selected device (output)
• Two pushbuttons on top of the device for switching and dim-
ming the selected output in direct operating mode, functional
when main module and submodules are connected to 230 V
AC, even if bus communication fails or has not yet been started
• Selection of whether all devices (outputs) are to be configured
identically or individually
• Selectable mode for each output (normal mode, one- or two-
level timer mode, blinking)
• Adjustable On- and Off-delay
• Separately adjustable dimming time from 0 ... 100% for swit-
ching on/off and dimming brighter/darker
• Two dimming value objects, each with individually adjustable
dimming time from 0 ... 100%
• Ability to switch an output on or off by dimming brighter/darker
• Adjustable dimming value when switching on
• Immediate activation (jumping) or dimming to a new dimming
value
• Selectable additional status object switching and/or status ob-
ject dimming value for each output
• Additional object for each output for blocking/releasing the out-
put
• Sending of status objects on request and / or automatically after
a change
• Adjustable blocking time for sending status objects after restart
and bus voltage recovery
• Adjustable dimming value for each output in the event of bus
voltage failure and recovery, as well as for mains voltage reco-
very
• Additional night mode object for time-limited switching on the
output (and hence illumination) at night
• Adjustable ON period at night or with timer mode
• Selectable warning of imminent switching off the illumination by
dimming to 50% of the previous dimming value during night
mode or timer mode
• Integrated 8-bit scene control and integration of each output in
up to 8 scenes
• Separately adjustable dimming time for scene control
• Integrated bus coupling unit, bus connection via bus terminal
• Device for DIN-rail mounting on a TH35 mounting rail according
to DIN EN 60715, max. width 3 MU (1 MU = 18 mm)
