Zūm® Wired Universal Dimmer Load Controller
A single-channel dimmer module that brings high-power, universal phase control dimming to a wired Zūm® commercial lighting system. Supports dimmable LED, incandescent, electronic low-voltage, magnetic low-voltage, neon/cold cathode, and 2-wire fluorescent lighting loads.
The ZUMLINK-EXP-16A-DIMU is a single-channel universal dimmer module designed to control a wide range of dimmable lighting load types. Using proprietary zero-cross filter technology, the ZUMLINK‑EXP‑16A‑DIMU provides superior immunity to power line noise, resulting in a dramatic reduction of lamp flicker.
Energy-saving options (sold separately) are available to enable daylighting, occupancy or vacancy sensing, integration, and centralized monitoring and management.
Auto-Detecting Universal Dimming
Under normal operation, the ZUMLINK‑EXP‑16A‑DIMU detects the connected load type and automatically selects the appropriate operating mode. 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.
Zūm Link Wired Technology
Zūm Link technology enables in‑room lighting control through keypads and sensors wired to controllers. Zūm Wired devices connect via CBL‑CAT5E‑ZUMLINK‑P CAT5e cable (sold separately) to RJ-45 ports to provide simple daisy-chaining and lighting control of compatible loads. The Zūm Wired devices work together in a local ecosystem to provide customized solutions using the Zūm app.
Energy Efficiency
Occupancy sensor, vacancy sensor, and daylight sensor connectivity enables significant energy savings. To reduce energy usage, lights turn off automatically when the room is vacant and dim gradually depending on the amount of natural daylight in the room.
Plenum Rated NEMA Enclosure
The ZUMLINK‑EXP‑16A‑DIMU is designed to be mounted to a vertical surface and meets the requirements of UL® 2043 for installation in an environmental air-handling space (plenum) above a suspended ceiling. Conduit knockouts are provided on the bottom and lower sides of the unit. All connections are made via screw terminals behind the front cover.
