ASTdim BT

INTELLIGENT LUMINAIRE POWER REDUCTION CONTROLLER WITH BLUETOOTH BLE

Device Description

ASTdim BT is an intelligent power reduction controller designed for LED luminaires equipped with DALI drivers. The controller enables automatic power management based on programmable time schedules, significantly reducing energy consumption while maintaining the required lighting performance.

The controller features a DALI control interface and integrated Bluetooth BLE 5.0 wireless communication, allowing fast and convenient configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics directly beneath the luminaire using a dedicated mobile application.

Designed for installation inside lighting luminaires, ASTdim BT provides an ideal solution for both new lighting installations and modernization projects.

Intelligent Power Reduction

ASTdim BT supports up to five independently programmable power reduction periods, allowing lighting output to be precisely adjusted according to traffic conditions, operating schedules, or project requirements.

Each programmable period includes:

  • Start time
  • End time
  • Power level

This intelligent control strategy significantly reduces electricity consumption while maintaining lighting quality, operational safety, and user comfort.

 

Wireless Bluetooth BLE Configuration

A dedicated ASTdim Android application has been developed for complete wireless configuration and diagnostics using a smartphone or tablet.

The integrated Bluetooth BLE 5.0 interface enables immediate parameter changes without the need to perform power cycling sequences traditionally required for controller programming.

Using the mobile application, users can:

  • Modify power reduction schedules.
  • Configure dimming levels.
  • Monitor the current operating status of the luminaire.
  • Perform service switching for 1, 10, or 30 minutes, or continuous operation.
  • Return the controller to automatic operating mode after maintenance.

The controller can also be programmed locally using ASTmidi or ASTmicro controllers and remotely using an ASTgsm controller through the web platform.

Integration with External Devices

ASTdim BT features a trigger input that allows integration with external devices such as motion sensors.

When the trigger input is activated, the controller immediately disables power reduction and restores the luminaire to 100% light output. Once the trigger signal is removed, the controller automatically returns to the programmed dimming level, improving both safety and user comfort.
