Time relay Rabbit APC-LED 1–10V / DALI RABB7012G3W5, autonomous dimming interface

The Rabbit APC-LED 1–10V / DALI autonomous time relay RABB7012G3W5 is a standalone dimming interface designed for time-based control of LED lighting. It accepts 1–10V and DALI control protocols and enables scheduled switching and dimming without the need for an external control system. The device is intended for installations where automated lighting scenes and energy-efficient operation are required across commercial and residential environments.

Advantages

This time relay provides independent, reliable scheduling for LED luminaires using both 1–10V and DALI control methods. Its autonomous operation reduces dependence on continuous central controllers and simplifies system architecture. By enabling time-programmed dimming and switching, the unit contributes to lower energy consumption and predictable lighting behaviour. The interface is compatible with common LED drivers and DALI fixtures, allowing integration into existing lighting systems with minimal rewiring.

Suitable for

• Timed corridor, stairwell and emergency lighting control
• Office and retail lighting schedules to reduce energy use outside business hours
• Residential automated lighting scenes and night-time dimming
• Small installations where a standalone dimming schedule is needed
• Retrofit projects converting non-networked luminaires to scheduled control

Key specifications

• Control protocols supported: 1–10V analogue dimming and DALI digital control
• Function: autonomous time relay with programmable schedules for switching and dimming
• Compatibility: designed for use with LED drivers and DALI-compatible luminaires
• Installation type: standalone inline or DIN-rail mountable interface (consult installer for mounting specifics)
• Input/Output: control outputs for 1–10V and DALI networks to manage multiple luminaires
• Programming: time schedule configuration stored locally for repeatable daily or weekly patterns

How to use

Install the dimming interface in accordance with local electrical codes and the device installation instructions supplied by the manufacturer. Connect power and route the control wiring to the LED drivers or DALI luminaires, ensuring correct polarity for 1–10V connections and proper bus wiring for DALI. Program the required time schedules using the unit’s configuration method so that the relay switches and dims lights at desired times. Verify operation by observing scheduled transitions and adjusting settings if necessary for target light levels and timings.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use the Rabbit APC-LED interface with compatible LED drivers and DALI devices, and have installation and commissioning performed by a qualified electrician. Regularly verify and update time schedules to reflect occupancy patterns and seasonal changes to maximise energy savings and maintain desired lighting conditions.
