Professional Dimmers are designed to control incandescent and
compatible low-voltage lighting. These dimmers are ideal for tight space applications
where traditional rack mounted assemblies are not practical.
Professional dimmer units are available in 5 A (4 channels), 10 A (two channels), and 20
A (one channel) models. Each channel provides independent dimming and incorporates
thermal overload and over-current protection. These dimmer units automatically
compensate for voltage and frequency uctuations and employ advanced phase-control
techniques to reduce icker and increase lamp life.
The aluminum enclosure acts as a heat sink and is designed for easy wall mounting,
including keyhole mounts and removable terminals for the C-Bus and override
connections. An optional terminal box is available for conduit connections.
Conguration options include network monitoring of the channel load and network
voltages, adjustable delays for dimming levels, and master override.
Product Features
• Suitable for use with resistive and inductive
loads and low-voltage lamps utilizing iron
core or electronic transformers
• Quick-mounting design, including keyhole
mounts, front and rear cable access, and
removable terminals for C-Bus connections
• Specialized dimming modes–soft turn on/off
and linearized brightness control
• Built-in power supply sources 60 mA to the
C-Bus network
• Compensates for uctuations in frequency
and voltage of power source
• Monitors load current by channel
• Integral thermal overload protection on each
channel
• Individual channels can be turned On/Off at
the unit or via C-Bus commands
• LEDs indicate the status of the network at
the unit and the status of the unit’s load and
power
• Optional terminal box for connecting conduit
• Non-volatile memory stores operating status
for recovery from a power outage
Distributed Intelligence
• Compatible with all C-Bus devices and the
Powerlink
®
NF3000G3C controller
• Easily congured with the C-Bus Toolkit
