The Z?m™ Wireless ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU is a single-channel universal dimmer module designed to control a wide range of dimmable lighting load types. Utilizing proprietary zero-cross filter technology, the ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU compensates for line voltage and frequency fluctuations, providing superior immunity to power line noise and a dramatic reduction in lamp flicker.
Zum Mesh wireless technology affords easy "pair and play" integration as part of a complete Zum commercial lighting system. Energy-saving options are available to enable daylighting, occupancy or vacancy sensing, HVAC system integration, and centralized monitoring and management.
Auto-Detecting Universal Dimming:
Under normal operation, the ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU detects the connected load type and selects the appropriate operating mode automatically. Reverse phase (trailing edge) mode supports incandescent and electronic low-voltage load types, while forward phase (leading edge) mode supports LED, magnetic low-voltage, neon/cold-cathode, and 2-wire fluorescent load types. Center phase mode is also available, combining reverse and forward phase load control to address special cases. The operative mode is indicated by two LEDs located on the front panel.
Energy Efficiency:
Occupancy sensor, vacancy sensor, and daylight sensor connectivity drive the potential for significant energy savings.[1] Lights will turn off automatically when the room is vacant and dim gradually according the amount of natural daylight in the room. This reduces energy usage while maintaining a consistent light level for a comfortable workspace.
Pair and Play Setup:
Designed with flexibility and ease-of-use in mind, the ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU is pre-programmed with "pair and play" functionality. An installer can simply install the ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU along with Zum keypads, occupancy or vacancy sensors, and/or a daylight sensor, set up the room with a few quick button taps, and instantly control the lights in the room – no programming required! Room setup can also be accomplished using the Zum app if the room is equipped with a Zum Network Bridge.
Zum Mesh Wireless Technology:
Ultra-reliable Zum Mesh wireless technology provides steadfast peer-to-peer RF communications within a commercial space without the need for physical control wiring, hubs, or gateways. Employing a 2.4 GHz peer-to-peer mesh network topology, nearly every Zum Mesh device acts as a "routing node," relaying wireless commands directly between Zum Mesh devices to ensure that every command reaches its intended destination without disruption.
