Information on MODULES
Functions: These modules implement various functions: toggle relay, staircase light timer, dimmer, timed relay
and dimmer. They may be used in installations with one or more pushbuttons.
Installation: The module may be installed in rectangular flush-mounting boxes for 3, 4, 6 modules or in round
boxes (diameter 60 mm), all from 40 to 50mm deep. In all cases, the switch modules must not apply mechanical
force on the module and the depth of the box must be such as to guarantee at least 1 mm of clearance around
the module. It may also be installed in junction boxes providing that a minimum volume of 100 cm³ is available
for each installed module.
The module must be installed only by qualified personnel and into a place the end-user cannot access. In order
to follow the safety rules, the module must be connected to a power line that is upstream protected by a
magnetothermic switch 10A C curve.
DO NOT INSTALL ON REMOTE CONTROLLED SOCKETS: see the 2000 range.
Important to know before installation:
Standard installation, 250W 1A power: when the module is installed in sealed flush-mount boxes which do
not let air circulate, the maximum permitted power is 250W, 1A current.
Specific installation, 500W 2A power: in some specific cases, if flush-mount boxes are connected by
corrugated pipes which let air through to provide ventilation or in open-air installation, the maximum
permitted power is 500W, 2A current.
Wiring: the flush mount version of the module is not equipped with terminal blocks, but of wires. The electrical
network must be wired using caps or equivalent equally suitable systems and installing the product in
accordance with the regulations in force in the country in which the material was sold.
The module is wired in series to the circuit. It can be positioned either on the phase or on the neutral. It can be
used to connect buttons with common to phase or neutral.
The figures No 1, show the wiring of pushbuttons with common connected to live. If the common terminal is
connected to neutral, instead, simply change the purple and orange wires (corresponding to terminals '5' and
'6' on DIN rail module) as shown in the figure No. 2. The module may accept an unlimited number of
pushbuttons with a maximum distance of 50 m between module and pushbuttons.
CAUTION! ACCESSORY FDVDT (CODE 5454075) MUST BE INSTALLED IF THE POWER LINE OF THE
MODULE IS SHARED WITH INDUCTIVE LOADS (e.g. window shutters or ferromagnetic ballasts or
ferromagnetic transformers). The accessory must be connected as close as possible to the module in parallel
between live and neutral. The internal overvoltage protection of the module could be rapidly damaged without
this accessory.
Power-up: The operating state of the module is stored in case of blackout. The module will remain off when
power is restored if it was off before the blackout. It will switch on again at the same dimmer level if it was on.
Backlit buttons: All the modules of the 500 range are compatible with backlit buttons, by means of the addition
of the BV40 accessory (Code 5454071), as shown in figure 4. This function is particularly useful in the case of
staircase light timers.
Centralisation: All 500 range modules can be centralised using a driver wire via the CVI50 accessory (Code
5454805). Simply connect all the local controls to a driver wire using multiple D600V accessories (Code
5454072) and a CVI50 module (5454805), as shown in figure 5.

Dimming: on sinusoid at start or end of phase with automatic load type detection.
Protections: short-circuit and overheating protections.
(1) The waveform must be pure sinusoidal. Non-sine waveforms (such as those generated by some inverters for photovoltaic
systems or motorhomes) or strong disturbances on the power supply line (construction site) may lead to malfunctions.
