    On the Din Rail Dimmers, there is a wiring diagram showing remote on and remte off wiring, could someone be so kiind as to explain to a lay man the idea behind this concept.

    Where would it be used, how would it be used?

    Thanks in advance...

    Remote Overrides allow you to override the C-Bus state of all the outputs in a system. They still work even if the C-Bus data isn't getting through.

    Typical applications: Control room has a switch on the wall to turn on all loads in the event of a control failure; testing of load circuits before C-Bus is commissioned; emergency shutdown of all lighting circuits; security to guarantee that loads remain On/Off etc.

    Remote Override takes precedence over regular C-Bus messages.

    The remote overrides are for use with any mechanical switch. Could be a standard Clipsal 30 Mech switch, key switch, whatever basically.

    All the switch has to do is connect the Remote Override On or Off lines to the C-Bus negative lines to activate that particular Overrride. Grab a DIN or Pro series unit and give it a go and see what happens!

    Thanks for your response :) . I think I will use one circuit breaker in the DB to handle Remote Override On.

    circuit breaker?

    That sounds unnecessarily hazardous - running cores from the C-bus cat5 amongst the 240v busbar. Unorthodox use of a breaker too. A Clipsal 30 mech mounted next to the DB would be better, surely.

    Yep, I agree with Peter. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.
