Dimmer 2 overcurrent detected


rsjabbens

Question

Hello,

 

I have a problem adding a new dimmer 2. The new dimmer was connected, and included in the HC2 succesfully. 

When turning on the lights (with HC2), i receive a message "overcurrent detected". 

The ligths did not turn on.

I connected the dimmer 2 with the 3 wire scheme and i checked the wires multiple times.

 

The light source is filled with 5x a GU10 LED 5.3W each (Ikea Ledare dimable)

Any idea what is causing this problem?

 

Should a dimmer bypass solve this?

 

Regards,

Roland

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    Is safe to do? could adjust this through parameter 39 or another parameter?

    As long u dont adjust Parameter 38 above 255watt is fine.

    I had a lot of overcurrent warining because of using LED lights so i had to adjust there is no overcurrent in any cases so i dont know why this shall be the default warning.

    In any cases u got a fuse thats protects for overcurrent so not quite sure why this function is there?

    I used the Parameter 15 and adjusting on 30 %

    In the end I solved it with a fibaro bypass 2

     

    I did some tests:

    • the light source was working correctly when directly attached to power
    • the dimmer was connected to anohter light source, a single (non dimable) LED light, it was flickering
    • I used a fibaro bypas with the single light source and enabled auto calibration, it was working (on/of only)
    • I used the fibaro bypass with the 5 LED light source, and enabled auto calibartion, it was working as dimable lights

    Thank you for the help
