Take Control Rotaries

  • Unique dimming-control product, enabling rotary dimming and switching from up to four different locations – ideal for use in large areas with more than one entrance, such as hallways or bedrooms with bedside controls
  • Take Control Rotaries TCR are designed to work with Take Control Unit TCU100 and fit into UK manufacturers’ plate and grid systems
  • Gives exceptionally smooth dimming, while LEDs and other light sources can be controlled effortlessly, even at low levels
  • Adjustment of minimum and maximum brightness levels is easy
  • Allows any rotary dimming module to switch on at pre-selected brightness levels (for example, minimum brightness at night), by turning the selected rotary to desired position before switch-on.
  • The four rotary dimming modules can be wired up in rooms or throughout buildings, using only 2-core cable (low voltage) to dim and switch (on/off) single lighting circuits. They enable retrofit use in many instances
  • Has unlimited building-block capabilities, enabling complex standalone dimming and switching applications (see System Building in TechPack)
  • Versions can be tailored to meet specific needs, such as global commands, different dimming curves and other options
  • Please enquire about compatibility with international plate systems
  • When any Rotary (TCR) is adjusted by more than 10% of its range, it will ‘take control’ of the TCU100’s output dimming signal. This signal then reflects the TCR rotary control knob position
  • The lighting circuit can be turned on or off by pushing in any TCR rotary control switch
  • Take Control Rotaries (TCR) can be connected individually using just two wires. The voltage between these wires is less than 10V and the current less than 1mA, so low-voltage cabling can be used
  • Take Control output varies between 0V and 10V. The dimming control range is factory set to 1V and 10V. If this is not suitable for a specific application, it can be adjusted (see installation and setting up procedure in the TechPack)
  • When used in conjunction with Multiload dimmer products, Take Control will operate mains-dimmable circuits (leading-edge or trailing-edge, see Related Products)
  • Square-law dimming is standard. Please contact us if a different dimming law is required
  • Power consumption is extremely low
  • Requires 15V power supply (see Related Products)
  • Meets all relevant safety standards and is SELV-compatible

These products, including leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmers, lighting contactors and others, increase the functions of the Take Control system.

Lighting Contactor - single circuit unit (LC100)

A DIN-rail mounted unit. It switches the mains supply to a single lighting circuit and delivers the 15V power supply for Take Control Unit (TCU100)

  • When Take Control Unit (TCU100) and up to four Take Control Rotaries (TCR) are used to control 0-10V or 1-10V control gear (drivers, ballasts, etc) from any position, they allow the mains supply to the lighting circuit to be switched on and off
  • A wiring diagram can be found in the TechPack
  • More information on LC Series can be found here

Trailing-edge Dimmer (ADT400)

10W-400W

A DIN-rail mounted trailing-edge dimmer which is controlled by a 0-10V signal, for dimming and switching a mains lighting circuit

  • When controlled by the 0-10V signal from Take Control Unit  (TCU100) it allows up to four Take Control Rotaries (TCR) to switch and dim a mains-dimmable lighting circuit (trailing-edge) from any rotary position. It also supplies a 15V power supply for Take Control (TCU100)
  • A wiring diagram can be found in the TechPack
  • More information on ADT400 can be found here

Leading-edge Dimmer (AD2500)

75W-2.3KVA

A high-power leading-edge dimmer which is controlled by a 0-10V signal, for dimming and switching a mains lighting circuit

  • When controlled by the 0-10V signal from Take Control Unit (TCU100) it allows up to four Take Control Rotaries (TCR) to switch and dim a mains-dimmable lighting circuit (leading-edge) from any rotary position
  • A wiring diagram can be found in the TechPack
  • More information on AD2500 can be found here

Power Supply for Take Control (MCPS1)

A DIN-rail mounted power supply

  • Provides a 15V DC power supply for Take Control Unit (TCU100)
  • Please note MCPS1 is not required for LC100 and ADT400

LEDrose Constant Current Driver (LDR100)

A controlled dimming driver for constant current LEDs

  • A constant current voltage driver for LEDs which can be positioned at great distances from light source(s) and dims smoothly to zero
  • Dimming by constant current reduction (CCR), it produces very low  electro-magnetic interference
  • Can be controlled by 0-10V signal from TCU100
  • More information on LEDrose can be found here

VoltMaster Intelligent Transformer

A voltage-stabilised power supply for low-voltage light sources

  • For driving 12V and 24V AC supplies. Also used for 12V and 24V AC LED replacement lamps
  • Can be controlled by 0-10V signal from TCU100
  • More information on VoltMaster can be found here
