One of the lights connected to the system is chosen to act as the sensor for the system. This sensor can be activated by the touch of a finger on the metal housing of the light and can be turned off with a second touch.

The light that is chosen to become the sensor is connected by a gray wire with three leads. One of the leads (yellow-green) is the sensor wire and has a cable eye that is connected to the mounting screw of the fixture.

When the housing of the sensor fixture is touched initially, the light will be turned on. You can increase or decrease the brightness of the lights by holding your finger on the sensor housing until you have reached the desired light level. To turn the system off, simply touch the fixture again with your finger. The dimming system retains your setting in memory, so the next time the sensor housing is touched it will return to the brightness level that was set prior to them being turned off.

The following fixtures may be used as sensors: 202000, 203000, 204000 and 206100.

You may also use a remote sensor such as 990004 or 990005 if you do not want to have one of the light fixtures as a controller, or if you are controlling units that are not listed above.

For non-dimming only on/off functionality, the electronic transformer 202004 is ideal and cost effective. It can be used with any of our halogen units. You can connect up to 6 units (maximum 60 watts) on this transformer.

On the low voltage side it is possible to connect switch 990006, which will turn all units on or off, or one of two special light units, 202325 or 202425, which have integral switches on their housing that can turn all connected units on or off.

In all other situations you can use your switch in the wall which is connected to your wall socket where the transformer will be plugged in.
