StrongLumio LED Switch/Dimmer For Profile 12/24V, Blue Indicator

Switch and dimmer for LED strips designed for installation in an ALU profile. Power rating: 90 W (12 V), 180 W (24 V). The switch cannot be used with battery-powered supplies. It also cannot be used with power supplies that have grounded output voltage (e.g. some units with a grounded metal transformer housing). Not suitable for use in lacquered profiles or in profiles connected from two or more sections.

The profile must not touch the wall, other metal objects, or be placed near additional electronic or electrical devices (risk of interference and malfunction).
Innovated version with higher resistance to interference, equipped with a blue indicator light. Allows connection of multiple sensors to a single power transformer. Switch designed for installation in ALU profiles for LED strips. The ALU profile functions as a large-area switch. Recommended maximum ALU profile length is 3 m. Touching any part of the profile switches the lighting on/off. A long touch allows you to decrease or increase the light intensity. Maximum profile length is 2 m; with longer profiles, the switch may not function correctly.
To prevent accidental activation, the touch must be deliberate – a light or brief touch is not sufficient.
Installation:
Use a fine-tip micro soldering iron and standard tin solder alloys. A thin rosin-core solder wire is recommended. The use of a transformer soldering iron is not recommended, as it may damage the switch.
2. Observe the polarity (±) and solder the switch to the LED strip. On the opposite side (closer to the screw hole), solder the power supply cables.
Solder carefully to ensure that solder and any flux (rosin) do not spread to other parts.
In particular, there must be no connection to the sensor input – the area around the screw hole must remain isolated.
Use the shortest possible power cables with the largest possible cross-section. Cables that are too thin or too long may negatively affect the function of the switch.
3. Insert the LED strip with the sensor into the ALU profile, mark the position for the hole and drill a 2 mm diameter hole.
We recommend first driving the supplied self-tapping screw (O 2,2 mm) into the profile without the switch to create the thread, and only then fastening the switch.
Warning: Tighten the screw only lightly to avoid damaging the printed circuit board.

Use only the supplied stainless steel screw!
If a zinc-plated screw is used, corrosion may occur between the screw and the ALU profile, which can lead to switch failure in a short time.
Operation:
Touch anywhere on the ALU profile to switch the light on with a smooth fade-in. A second touch switches the light off. There must be approximately a 1-second interval between touches; otherwise, the touch will not be registered.
Pressing and holding (a long touch) for more than 3 seconds will start adjusting the light intensity. When the touch is released, the selected brightness level remains stored.
Calibration:
The switch features built-in automatic calibration. Factory-set parameters are optimized during the first switching cycles. Therefore, manual calibration is not required.
Technical specifications:
The sensor cannot be used with battery-powered supplies. It is also not compatible with power supplies that have grounded output voltage (e.g., some power supplies with a grounded metal transformer housing).

For these cases, a mechanical switch 231820 can be used.
Supply voltage: 12 V / 24 V
Max. current: 7,5 A at 24 V
Dimensions: 10 × 25 mm
Power consumption: 0,1 W / 12 V, 0,28 W / 24 V
Electrical waste – dispose of in accordance with applicable regulations.
By soldering the pad at the “+” input, the indicator LED can be disabled without affecting functionality. It is also possible to enable startup in the state prior to power interruption (e.g., when switching via an external switch) – see updated instructions.
