User Manual
Description
CBU-TED is a Bluetooth controllable trailing-edge dimmer for phase control of incandescent
lamps, dimmable LED lamps and dimmable LED control gear. It is to be connected between
the incoming line voltage and the light source. Maximum allowable ambient temperature must
be taken into concideration when selecting the mounting location.
CBU-TED is able to control up to 75 W at 120 VAC.
As a part of Casambi network, CBU-TED can be used to control lights based on multiple con-
trol strategies including preset scenes, automatic schedules and daylight responsive dimming.
CBU-TED can be congured and controlled with Casambi app, available for iOS and Android
devices, as well as with traditional wall switches.

1. Turn lights on from a wall switch.
2. Quickly ick the wall switch o (max.
1 sec.) and back on. The light level
starts to increase gradually.
3. Flick the switch again at desired dim
level. The selected level is saved
automatically.
4. If the second ick is not done within
8 sec. the light intensity reaches its
maximum level.
5. Flicking the switch can also be
used to switch between predened
scenes.

Installation
Make sure that the mains voltage is switched o before making any connections. Use 16-18 AWG solid or stranded conductor electrical wires. Strip the
wire 6-8 mm from the end.
Press the buttons on top of the dimmer case and insert the wires to the corresponding holes. Make sure to connect the input and output correctly. Input
connector is marked with letters L and N, while the output connector is marked with letter N and a symbol with a wave and an arrow ( ).
If you install the dimmer into a heat sensitive environment (e.g. inside a luminaire or in a ceiling outlet box above a luminaire), make sure that the ambient
temperature does not exceed the specied maximum value. Using the dimmer in a heat sensitive environment may limit the maximum output power.
CBU-TED, as any other Casambi product, should not be placed in a metal enclosure, such as metal junction boxes. Metal will attenuate radio signals which
are crucial to the operation of the product. If the product will have to installed into a junction box, make sure to use a plastic junction box.
Range
The range between two CBU-TEDs or between a CBU-TED and a smart phone can vary a lot depending on obstacles and surrounding material. In open
air the range between two CBU-TEDs can be in excess of 200 ft, but if the unit is encapsulated into a metal structure, the range can be only few feet.
Therefore, thorough testing is highly suggested.
Casambi uses mesh network technology so each CBU-TED acts also as a repeater. When testing the network, it is important to test that each unit can
be controlled from any point of the network covered area.
