Load

No motors!

Use the dimmer terminals for lamp loads only. Motor loads can fully destroy the terminal.
Please consider that the wiring of the dimmer terminal output to a power socket could lead to the use of any type of load.

For motor loads, please use the KL2791 (single-channel speed controller for AC motors).

Do not mix capacitive and inductive loads!

Capacitive and inductive loads must not be mixed on one dimmer terminal!
For example, an electronic ballast and a transformer must not be operated together on one dimmer terminal!

You may operate an ohmic load (e.g. an incandescent lamp) together with either a capacitive or an inductive load.

No additional switches!
Do not connect any additional switches between

• the dimmer terminal and the load
• the dimmer terminal and the ballast
• the ballast and the lamp

Use the right operation mode!

Use only the intended operation mode for each type of load

• capacitive loads may only be controlled with trailing edge phase control.
• inductive loads may only be controlled with leading edge phase control.

• If a load is controlled with the wrong operation mode, this can lead to the destruction of the dimmer terminal or the load!
  A typical result is the overheating of the input capacitor of an electronic ballast that is controlled with leading edge phase control.
