The line voltage wall switch with integrated 0-10V dimmer offers a stylish and compact solution for spaces requiring manual dimming control. Significantly shallower than standard dimmers, the unit reduces wall box crowding and simplifies installation. Versatile wiring allows installation with or without a neutral connection, providing flexibility for a wide range of applications. Dimming adjustment is achieved through intuitive raise and lower buttons, complemented by a dedicated on/off button, while five vertically stacked LEDs indicate the current dimming level. Configurable dimming parameters include high and low trims, turn-on levels, and selectable curve types. The dimmer’s design aligns visually with the SENSORWORX family of wall switch occupancy sensors and 0-10V dimming wall switch sensors, creating a cohesive aesthetic across multiple spaces.
This dimmer enables compliance with manual control energy code requirements while maximizing the dimming capabilities of LED fixtures. Task tuning, such as capping the maximum output of a fixture, is easily achieved with the stand-alone unit. Typical applications include private offices, open offices, conference rooms, classrooms, storage rooms, and break rooms, making it suitable for commercial, educational, and professional environments.
Electrically, the dimmer accommodates both three-wire (neutral) and two-wire (no neutral) installations. Electronically timed switching prolongs relay life, and the unit functions independently or in 3-way switch configurations. The design meets NEC guidelines for current leakage, ensuring safe operation across various lighting loads. The dimmer is compatible with 0-10V ballasts or drivers in accordance with IEC 60929 Annex E.2, with a maximum dimming load of 50 mA (sink only). Supported load types include LED drivers and lamps, CFLs with electronic or magnetic ballasts, and tungsten incandescent lamps. The operating voltage ranges from 120 to 277 VAC at 50/60 Hz, with an operating temperature range of 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C) and relative humidity from 0 to 95% non-condensing for indoor use.
Physically, the unit measures 2.74 inches high, 1.68 inches wide, and 1.39 inches deep, excluding the mounting strap, with a wallbox mounting depth of less than one inch. The compact 4.5-ounce device mounts in a standard single-gang switch box and features a self-grounding mounting strap for easy installation. The modern design includes intuitive easy-tap buttons for on/off and dimming, with all settings adjustable without removing the cover plate.
Dimming operation offers extensive flexibility. High-end trim allows setting a maximum lighting level, ranging from 50% to 100% or custom levels, while low-end trim establishes the minimum level users may reach, from 0% to 50% or custom values. Turn-on behavior can recall the last user level or a preset level, while turn-off options include switching off power via the internal relay or dimming below the electronic off level. Lighting can remain at the low-end trim during unoccupied or off states. Fade-on and fade-off times are adjustable from 0.75 to 15 seconds, allowing smooth transitions. The dimming curve can be selected as linear (default), square law, or logarithmic, defining how voltage output responds to button commands.
LED functionality enhances user experience and visibility. Five white LEDs display the current dim level when lights are on, while a blue LED serves as a locator when lights are off, ensuring the switch is easy to locate in low-light conditions. This combination of intuitive controls, flexible dimming parameters, and compact design makes the line voltage wall switch with 0-10V dimmer a versatile and aesthetically consistent choice for commercial, educational, and office lighting applications.
