2. Configurazione e installazione

AVVERTIMENTO: Installation of this device involves working with mains electricity. For your safety, installation should only be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local wiring regulations and standards. Always switch off the main power supply before beginning any installation work.

The Gira 117600 dimmer insert is designed for integration into a standard flush-mounted box. Follow the wiring diagram provided with the product packaging for correct connection.

Fasi di installazione (indicazioni generali):

1. Scollegare l'alimentazione: Ensure the main power supply to the circuit is switched off at the consumer unit/fuse box. Verify with a voltagetester.
2. Preparare il cablaggio: Strip the ends of the electrical wires (phase, neutral, switched phase) according to the dimmer's terminal requirements.
3. Collegare i fili: Use the spring terminals to securely connect the wires to the dimmer insert. Refer to the specific wiring diagram for your setup.
4. Monte Dimmer: Carefully place the dimmer insert into the flush-mounted box.
5. Installare la piastra di copertura: Attach the appropriate Gira cover frame and operating element (push/rotary knob) to the dimmer insert.
6. Ripristina alimentazione: Switch the main power supply back on.

Considerazioni importanti:

• Do not connect capacitive loads (e.g., Gira Tronic transformers) and inductive loads (e.g., conventional transformers) simultaneously to the universal dimmer insert.
• An extension control is possible by connecting up to 5 extension inserts (e.g., Gira 1177 00). The maximum cable length between the main dimmer and the last extension should not exceed 100 meters.
• Ensure the total connected load (W/VA) does not exceed the dimmer's maximum switching capacity.

3. Istruzioni per l'uso

The Gira 117600 dimmer insert is operated via a compatible push/rotary control element (not included with the insert itself).

• Accensione/Spegnimento: Press the rotary knob briefly to switch the connected lights on or off.
• dimming: Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the light intensity and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
• Avvio graduale: When switched on, the dimmer features a soft start function, gradually increasing the light intensity to the last set level, which helps to prolong the life of the light sources.

4. Manutenzione

The Gira 117600 dimmer insert is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation once correctly installed.

• Pulizia: To clean the visible operating element (rotary knob and frame), use a soft, damp panno. Non utilizzare detergenti abrasivi, solventi o prodotti chimici aggressivi, poiché potrebbero danneggiare la superficie.
• Componenti interni: Do not attempt to open or service the dimmer insert yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

  • Ensure the dimmer is correctly wired according to the installation instructions.
  • The dimmer may have activated its electronic short-circuit protection. Disconnect the load, check for short circuits, and then reconnect.
• Lights do not dim or dim incorrectly:
  • Confirm that the connected light sources are dimmable.
  • Controllare se il peso totaletage/VA of the connected lights is within the dimmer's specified range (50-420 W/VA).
  • Ensure that capacitive and inductive loads are not connected simultaneously.
• Dimmer feels hot:
  • The dimmer has automatic overheating protection. If it becomes too hot, it will reduce power or switch off. This usually indicates an overload or insufficient ventilation.
