A dimmer includes a primary intensity actuator coupled to a primary intensity potentiometer, the primary intensity actuator structured to be actuated for at least one of: controlling an amount of power delivered to a load connected to the dimmer in normal operation mode, and adjusting light intensity based on a first user input in the normal operation mode; selecting a type of end trimming based on a second user input before entering configuration mode; or adjusting, based on a third user input, an end trim value; a configuration actuator arranged on a side of the dimmer and structured to be actuated for entering the configuration mode based on a fourth user input within a first predetermined period; and a controller coupled to the primary intensity potentiometer, the configuration actuator, and a driver circuit coupled to a bidirectional switching device, the controller structured to control dimmer operation.

Dimmers with an actuator for switching dimmer mode

A dimmer includes a sole intensity actuator structured to be used for at least one of: adjusting light intensity based on a first user input during normal operation; or entering configuration mode based on a second user input and adjusting an end trim value based on a third user input; a sole intensity potentiometer coupled to the sole intensity actuator and comprising a variable resistor, the sole intensity potentiometer structured to measure an input voltage based on variable resistance, and a controller coupled to the sole intensity potentiometer and a driver circuit coupled to a bidirectional switching device, the controller structured to control dimmer operation, comprising receiving an input voltage signal and transmitting a dimming signal to the driver circuit, the dimming signal based at least in part on the signal.
