1 to 10 V interface
Lighting control protocols for the control of lighting and lighting systems are divided into analog and digital control. The 1 to 10 V interface is a standardized analog control protocol for dimmers with which they control the electronic ballasts between 1 V and 10 V. The 1 V value corresponds to the lowest dimming value and thus the highest brightness.
The 1 V value corresponds to the lowest dimming value and thus the highest brightness, the 10 V value corresponds to the highest dimming value and the lowest brightness.
The control voltage is transmitted between the control unit, i.e. the dimmer, and the electronic ballast via a two-core control line. Separate lines are available for the supply voltage. The electronic ballast provides the regulated control power. The control itself can be manual, via remote control or automatic.
