and magnetic transformers
Art. no.:
492 AN o.A.
1. General description
function selector switch

- non-volatile stored switching times
- basic brightness setting!
(not available with all functions)
New load designation:
R = for resistive loads, light bulbs
L = inductive loads, wound transformers
2. Installation
Work on 230 V mains may only be performed by trained and
authorised personnel. All such activities may only be performed
when mains voltage has been switched off.
This triac unit is designed for installation in a Ø 58 mm accessory
box. It has a prescribed installation orientation (TOP is marked)
to ensure that the attachment will also be subsequently mounted
in its proper orientation. Setting the potentiometer or the rotary
switch is only permissible when the mains supply voltage is
switched off. The attachment used must be carefully plugged
into the appropriate socket when mains voltage is switched off.
Guide it carefully when plugging it in.
The following must be observed:
- prevailing statutes, standards and regulations.
- state of the art technology at the time of installation.
- the operating instructions for FM devices and attachments.
- the fact that operating instructions can only make general
reference to regulations but that these must then be
interpreted in conjunction with a specific system.
These devices may not be used in systems whose operation
could present a hazard to persons, animals or property.
3. Technical specifications
Nominal voltage........................230 V~ +6% -10% 50 Hz
Incandescent light rating (resistive load)........60-600 W
High-voltage halogen lamp rating..................60-600 W
Inductive load rating.......................................50-500 VA
Fuse............................................................T4 H 250 V
Max. wiring length to the remote station................50 m
Protection class.....................................................IP 20
Ambient temperature range.............................0 to +35°C
(with reduced load rating)
These dimmers are equipped with a precision fuse and an
additional thermal protection.
If thermal protection triggers on dimmer 492 AN o.A. due to
overheating, the dimmer is rendered permanently inoperable.
A check should be made to ensure that the installation
complies with specifications. If problems arise, please check
the installed fuse. If necessary, replace with a fuse of the
same capacity and cut-off characteristics.
Ripple fluctuations on the mains voltage can become
noticeable as a flickering of attached lamps when dimming
is set to low-brightness values. The unit may produce a
hum; this is caused by the interference-suppression
capacitor. Neither of these characteristics represent a
dimmer defect nor grounds for complaint or claims.

4. Loads
Unbalanced loads should not be driven, i.e. only identical
transformers are to be connected in parallel; this is to ensure that
brightness remains constant in the lighting branch.
For conventional transformers, open secondary windings are
not permissible. The transformer should have its nominal load
and may not be switched with a series-connected switch.
Electronic transformers may only be used if they are approved
by the manufacturer for leading edge dimming.
Caution!!
- Not suited for electronic transformers approved only for
use for trailing-edge dimming!
- Do not use with additional power stages!
- Do not operate this unit in a circuit with a compensating
capacitor between N and regulated AC voltage (triac output)!
- Reduces brightness with its own energy dissipation!
Permissible loads:
- light bulbs
- 230 V high-voltage halogen lamps
- magnetic transformers

When in operation, the dimmer becomes warm as a small
proportion of the connected load is transformed into heat.
The specified nominal output is based on the dimmer being
mounted in a massive stone wall.
If the dimmer is mounted in a wall of autoclaved aerated
concrete, wood, plasterboard or in a surface-mounted box,
the max. connected load must be derated by at least 20%.
This reduction is also necessary when multiple dimmers are
combined into a single system or when other heat sources
could lead to additional warming.
6. Basic circuits

6.2 Triac unit with resistive load

7. Remote station circuit
Triac unit with remote station 490N
L
N
Permissible attachment for the remote station:
-
For switching or dimming via a remote station, input 1 of the
triac unit is to be connected via the remote station with the
phase leg L conductor. Here it must be ensured that the L
conductor for the triac unit is the same phase leg.
The remote station's control line should be routed at a distance
from load-carrying lines. A maximum wiring length of 50 m to
the remote station switch should not be exceeded.
Caution!! Remote station switches may not contain a glow
lamp light as this could cause malfunctions due to the sensitive
input! Illuminated switches may only be used if they have a
separate connection to the neutral (N) line.
8. Troubleshooting & remedies
Lamps flicker briefly:
- mains voltage fluctuations
80 90 100

60 70
- ripple pulses
Temperature in °C
The dimming function doesn't work:
- inadequate minimum load, increase the load
The dimmer switches without pressing the button:
- a remote station may have a glow lamp,
- short-circuit in the remote station's conductor
Lighting cannot be switched on:
- replace defective lamps
- repair short-circuit
- check wiring connections
- reset the protective switch
- replace defective dimmer
Attachment switch does not work:
- incorrect function is selected, check the rotary switch
- check potentiometer
9. Warranty
These operating instructions are an integral part of both the device
and our terms of warranty. They must be furnished to the user.
The technical design of the device is subject to change without
prior notification.
PEHA products are manufactured and quality-checked with the
latest technology according to applicable national and international
regulations. Nevertheless, if a product should exhibit a defect,
PEHA warrants to make remedy as follows (regardless of any
claims against the dealer to which the end-user may be entitled
as a result of the sales transaction):
In the event of a justified and properly-established claim, PEHA
shall exercise its prerogative to either repair or replace the defective
device. Further claims or liability for consequential damages are
explicitly excluded. A justifiable deficiency is one in which the device
exhibits a structural, manufacturing, or material defect that makes
it unusable or substantially impairs its utility at the time it is turned
over to the end-user. The warranty does not apply to natural wear,
unintended usage, incorrect connection, device tampering or the
effects of external influences.
The warranty period is for 24 months from the date of purchase
by the end-user from a dealer and ends not later than 36
months after the device's date of manufacture. German law is
applicable for the settlement of warranty claims.
