Nehsmit Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Can either of these be used for multi location switches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brekfastb Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 dim is a dimmer, sw is a switch. if you need to use them in more than a single pole application that device goes at the load and a keypad at the other end that just gets power and programming. i would not dim anything but incandescent or mlv with that dinner.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehsmit Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Ok thanks for the reply. Can I use both of them for multi-pole sites? also what’s mlv? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brekfastb Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 that dimmer is a forward phase dimmer and if you want to use in a 3-way or larger you would need a control4 keypad at each remote location.MLV = Magnetic Low VoltageSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehsmit Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Sorry for the silly questions but what’s difference between forward phase and adaptive phase? and are Either of the ones listed in OP a C4 keypad that would work for 3 way?

JSTRONG Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 You can also just use the auxiliary keypad In the 3-way and save $160 SMHarman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Forward phase is a type of dimming, and so is reverse phase. Adaptive phase can do both. Forward phase is just forward. Legacy stuff was reverse phase. I have a Snow White auxiliary keypad I’d sell cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
