Onesto DIM ON/OFF Module Only

• A sophisticated control interface designed to bring modern, push-button dimming functionality to the premium Onesto Oracle modular system.
• This is critically a module only; it is the user-facing push-button and not a complete, standalone dimmer switch.
• Functions as the control unit for a separate, remote dimmer regulator, providing a simple push-for-ON/OFF and push-and-hold for dimming action.
• Empowers electricians and designers to create elegant, minimalist dimmer controls that perfectly match the aesthetic of the Oracle range.
• Allows for the integration of advanced lighting control into custom multi-gang switch plates for a clean, consolidated appearance.
• Requires three other components for a complete system: an Oracle Grid Plate, an Oracle Surround, and a compatible Dimmer Regulator (all sold separately).
• Available in both White and Black Graphite to seamlessly match the corresponding Oracle grid plates.

Features

• Control Interface: Provides a momentary push-button action designed to send signals to a separate dimmer regulator for ON, OFF, and dimming control.
• Modular Design: A core "S-size" component of the Oracle modular system, designed to clip securely into any compatible Oracle grid plate.
• System-Based Functionality: Engineered specifically to work as the user interface for a complete dimming system, not as a standalone device.
• Premium Construction: Built with a high-quality, self-extinguishing polycarbonate body and reliable contacts for a long service life and crisp button-press feel.
• Core Colour Options: Available in White or Black Graphite to perfectly match the colour of the chosen grid plate and surround.
• Certified and Compliant: Manufactured to meet the stringent safety and performance requirements for control accessories under SANS 60669-1.
• Assured Reliability: Backed by a comprehensive 5-year manufacturer warranty.

Benefits

• Minimalist Aesthetic: Creates a clean, modern push-button dimmer control that is more subtle and sophisticated than traditional rotary dimmers.
• Create the Perfect Ambiance: When paired with the correct system, it allows for smooth and precise control over light intensity, perfect for setting the mood in any room.
• Potential for Energy Savings: Dimming lights reduces electricity consumption and can significantly extend the lifespan of your dimmable bulbs.
• Flawless Design Integration: Ensures your dimmer switches have the identical premium look and feel as your standard Oracle switches and sockets, creating perfect design cohesion.
• Ultimate Layout Flexibility: Allows for the placement of dimmer controls in custom multi-gang plates alongside other switch types, consolidating controls into one location.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance: In the unlikely event of a mechanical failure of the button, only this inexpensive module needs to be replaced, not the entire, more costly dimmer regulator.

Tips

To avoid purchasing errors and ensure a safe, functional system, it is critical to understand the nature of this product.

• CRITICAL - THIS IS NOT A DIMMER: You are purchasing only the push-button control interface. This module WILL NOT dim lights on its own. It must be wired to a separate, compatible dimmer regulator (the "engine") to function.
• CRITICAL - COMPLETE SYSTEM REQUIRED: To build a single, functional dimmer switch, you must purchase FOUR separate items:
  1. This Dimmer Module (ONMDIM or ONMDIMBK)
  2. An Onesto Oracle Grid Plate (e.g., ON2011Y)
  3. An Onesto Oracle Surround (e.g., ON2000S-P)
  4. A compatible Dimmer Regulator.
• CRITICAL - LED COMPATIBILITY: The system's ability to dim LED lights depends on the Dimmer Regulator and the LED bulbs. The regulator must be a modern LED-compatible type, and the bulbs themselves must be explicitly marked as "DIMMABLE". Using non-dimmable bulbs will cause flickering, damage, and is a fire hazard.
• PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION IS MANDATORY: The wiring of a modular dimmer system is complex and must be performed by a qualified and certified electrician in compliance with SANS 10142-1.
• EXCLUSIVE COMPATIBILITY: This module is designed to fit ONLY in Onesto Oracle grid plates. It is not compatible with other Onesto ranges or any other brand.
