Frequently Asked Questions

I am installing a 2-wire Dimmer, when should I be using a 31CAP or 31LCDA?

Hide Show

The 31CAP and 31LCDA both have separate uses to resolve issues experienced with 2-wire Dimmers.

The 31CAP should be used when minimum load of the device is not being met, this is usually indicated by the load/light, that is controlled by the dimmer, by glowing when it should be off. Adding the 31CAP will increase the load and prevent the load/light from glowing in the off state. Depending on how far off minimum load you are more than one 31CAP may be required.


The 31LCDA should be used in instances where the load/light is flickering constantly, which indicates an issue with compatibility with the 2-wire dimmer used. The 31LCDA resolves these incompatibilities and flickering should then stop, if the flickering is reduced but still present you may need another 31LCDA to completely resolve. No more than 3x 31LCDA’s should be used on one dimmer.

What is the difference between the 31Cap and 31LCDA?

Hide Show
The 31CAP is a load correction device which consists of a "Capacitor only" to help 2 wire products achieve minimum load levels. The 31LCDA has circuitry built in to the device to enable it to correct minor compatibility issues found between dimmers and LED lights for example slight flickering when dimmed at a higher level.



31CAP - Increases minimum load.

31LCDA - Assists with compatibility issues.

What type of LED's can be used on C-Bus Dimmers?

Hide Show
Firstly you will need to confirm whether your C-Bus system contains C-Bus Leading Edge Dimmers or C-Bus Universal Dimmers, You may need to consult with your EcoXpert in Light and Room Control which one(s) you have if unsure. 

The general recommendations for LED compatibility with C-Bus Dimmers is as follows
1) Ensure your LED's have a dedicated LED Driver (electronic transformer) that supports your C-Bus Dimmer type
2) Bench test that the LED Driver is of good quality and works as expected at your site
3) C-Bus Dimmer channels require >25W of load if less is connected to a specific channel that channel will require the addition of a 31LCDA (Load Corrective Device)

4) If the dimming range of the LED fittings is specified by the manufacturer - the installer can programmer the Min/Max settings of the C-Bus Dimming channel to match the LED fittings dimming range.

Note:
C-Bus Leading Edge Dimmers will require LED's which have electronic transformers (LED Driver) which support Leading Edge AC phase control dimming (as noted in the compatible loads section of the installation manual)

C-Bus Universal Dimmers will require LED's which have electronic transformers (LED Driver) which supports Trailing Edge AC phase control dimming (as noted in the compatible loads section of the installation manual).
Although Universal Dimmers can support leading OR trailing edge AC phase control dimming it needs to be exclusively one or the other (NOT BOTH). As such LED Drivers which note LE/TE LED Driver are NOT suitable for the Universal Dimmer.

IMPORTANT: Clipsal by Schneider Electric & Schneider Electric DO NOT make LED's which are compatible with C-Bus NOR can we recommend specific LED Drivers for your C-Bus Dimmer type as LED Dimming and Driver technology is continually changing. The above is a guideline to assist you choose a compatible LED with dedicated LED Driver that supports your dimmer in question. As noted above please have your EcoXpert in Light and Room Control bench test LED Fittings and LED Driver for suitability on your C-Bus Network.
