Fw: Re: Clipsal rethink

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, so say I have 3 light switches currently (manual standard wall=20
switches) that all control the upstairs landing light.=20

Now, if I plug in a wireless switch, my assumption is that only one switch=
=20
can actual dim a light "locally" - but then im sure things will
go wrong=20
when another switch tries to control it locally.

An ideal method would be to use the power thats their to give the wireless=
=20
switch it's juice, but change the landing light itself to be star wired=20
back to a wired CBUS DIN dimmer module. I think the problem here is on the=
=20
switches they have reserved buttons for local control - but in this
case,=20
i dont need local control - i just need to program them to control the din=
=20
rail.

Now that would sort out 2/3/more way switches.

Isn;t 2 channel just 2 seperate lights - rather than 2way ?

Thats correct you can connect 2 lights to a two channel dimmer , but you=20
can
also program the other buttons to control other lights as the Saturns come
in 2,4 and 6 gang .........

Hi Gareth
I think the wireless Saturns come in either a 1 channel or
2
channel dimmer.....not sure how noisy they are ....

Those DLT units look a bit nasty TBH. Could be different in the flesh of
course.

So tell me, if you were to use Wireless Saturn controllers, you dont need
a dimmer module yes ? The switch is powered locally and the dimming is
done there instead of at the DIN rail unit ?

If so, wonder how noisy it is...

Arni,

Thanks for this feedback. How doe the DLT compare to the ordinary
Saturn? Are they both easy to use? (For non-technical people!!)
Which type of PIR did you order?
How long did parts take to arrive?

Thanks,

Martin
