4.6.3. Dimmers

The dimmers are generally not distributed around the home, but centralised in the fuse box. We use the symbol of a dimmer here. In order to indicate that it is not an ordinary dimmer, we draw a small square around it. We can use that symbol to indicate rail dimmers.

Certain integrated home systems also use “dimmer packs”. These are units that contain a number of dimmers. In such a case, a large rectangle is drawn around the dimmers that are in the dimmer pack.
