2. Oppsett og installasjon

ADVARSEL: 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.

Installasjonstrinn (generell veiledning):

1. Koble fra strømmen: Ensure the main power supply to the circuit is switched off at the consumer unit/fuse box. Verify with a voltage tester.
2. Forbered ledninger: Strip the ends of the electrical wires (phase, neutral, switched phase) according to the dimmer's terminal requirements.
3. Koble til ledninger: Use the spring terminals to securely connect the wires to the dimmer insert. Refer to the specific wiring diagram for your setup.
4. Monter dimmer: Carefully place the dimmer insert into the flush-mounted box.
5. Installer dekkplate: Attach the appropriate Gira cover frame and operating element (push/rotary knob) to the dimmer insert.
6. Gjenopprett kraften: Switch the main power supply back on.

Viktige hensyn:

• 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. Bruksanvisning

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

• Slå på/av: 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.
• Myk start: 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. Vedlikehold

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

• Rengjøring: To clean the visible operating element (rotary knob and frame), use a soft, damp klut. Ikke bruk slipende rengjøringsmidler, løsemidler eller sterke kjemikalier, da disse kan skade overflaten.
• Interne komponenter: Do not attempt to open or service the dimmer insert yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

5. Feilsøking

If you experience issues with your Gira 117600 dimmer, please review følgende vanlige problemer og løsninger:

• Lysene slår seg ikke på:
  • Sjekk om hovedstrømforsyningen er på.
  • Kontroller at lyspæren(e) fungerer og er riktig installert.
  • 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.
  • Sjekk om det totale vannettage/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.
  • Reduce the connected load or ensure adequate air circulation around the dimmer.

If problems persist, consult a qualified electrician or contact Gira customer support.
