Set lighting levels to create different moods - for entertaining, relaxing, reading, watching TV or a movie - or for security or energy saving.

Once set up, recall your favorite dimmers scenes simply by touching a single button on either the switch panel or the supplied remote control unit. Quality P400 series IV dimmers features commercial level power components for a high level of protection & longevity.

Remote Control

Your choice of dimming levels can be selected from the remote control supplied with the P400 dimmers. Program dimming levels, master raise and lower, fade rate and sleep timer duration – all from the convenient remote control. Or adjust any of the lighting levels without storing them. Choose power up dimmer options, either the last dimming level selected or OFF. Additionally, the P400’s remote control commands can be ‘learnt’ by any universal learning remote control.

I-Phone Connectivity
Use your iPhone or iPod touch to take control of Futronix dimmers and other home electronics devices. Your choice of scenes can be selected from the menus or automatically using one key MACRO commands. Eliminate that cluttered mess of remotes, by consolidating all your remotes into one single i-Phone application. Select your favorite lighting scenes, close the blinds, power up the surround sound system, turn up the volume and flip through channels using one of these Futronix compatible devices.

Timer

Program the P400’s timer to select any scene at any time and on any day of the week - up to 70 different events each week (10 per day). In the bedroom, the P400 sleep delay timer can be set to automatically switch lights off for up to two hours after being selected. Or set the timer to wake you up gently in the morning by fading up your bedroom lights.

For living spaces, uses range from ‘welcome’ scenes - which automatically fade the lighting on for when you return home - to selecting security settings. Use the dimmers timer to control lighting for 4 channels – set scenes to appear at pre-programmed times and adjust the atmosphere of a room or space, even if you are away from your home.

Security

Program a dimmer security sequence that can last several minutes or many hours, giving the impression that the property is occupied. Automatically sequence through your pre-set scenes, displaying each one for any variable length of time.

Zones

The P400 domestic dimmer can control the lighting in up to 4 different areas or rooms – meaning you can set 20 scenes in each of the 4 rooms. For bigger dimmer systems providing multiple channels of lighting control with even more flexibility, multiple P400 and/or P800 dimmers can be connected together via the in-built X-Bus® switch panel databus.

Display

Create dramatic lighting displays with the P400 dimmer by linking a series of scenes with pre-programmed duration and fade rate. This is ideal for your home cinema – you can easily create a ‘transition’ light show before and after a movie. Also applicable for architectural highlighting, product display and exhibitions. With P400 dimmers you can effortlessly control the lighting in your own home, as shown in the Demonstration of Scene Dimming below.
