Help with next pilot phase

Post by binkiem »

After i bought a Marmitek Starting kit i would like to go on with the next pilot phase in my house. I read a lot of documentation, but before buying something i would like to check if i do the right thing

I would like to do the following thing:
The current situation: i have a dual dimmer which switches/dims two different light (eg lamp A and lamp B). I would like to transform this to Xanura products and will use "twee vlaks manier" on/brighter off/dim

This is what i would like to do:
- I replace the switch with a Jung 531-4U (tweevlaks serie impulsdrukker met nulstand), a Jung CD581WW (afdekplaat) and CD595WW Jung (Tweevoudig Wip)
- behind it i will install a Xanura DIX2 module
- behind each light/lamp (A and B) on the ceiling i will install a DAX10 (in total two)

Is this correct? Is it possible to have the same implementation with in total one DAX10? (e.g. Do they have a dual DAIX10???)

I have the same situation
Almost using the same components.
I'm using the DIX1 for controlling 4 different devices.
All is working fine.

So, let me get this right:

To be able to dim 2 lights in a single frame, you need need a Dimm Interface, like DIX1 or DIX2. AND you need 2 Dimm Actors like the DAX10 at the light source?

I always though the DIX1 and -2 were the dimmers themselves, no need for actors. DOH!

You are correct.
Best combination is
1 DIX2
2 DAX10

I do not know why they never developed a DIX1 or 2 with one or two dim actors in it. It's i think a normal situation.

One follow-up question:
You have experience putting two DAX10's in a central-box(centraaldoos)?

No issues of overheating?

Btw Any problems with S10 products, I hear a lot of mixed signals about them. Most advise to stay clear of them, but some have no problems.
