OUTPUT UNITS
The C-Bus
TM
Phase Angle Dimmers are C-Bus controlled output units suitable for
incandescent and compatible low-voltage lighting. These units are designed to be rack
mounted in suitable DIN style enclosures.
Each of the unit’s channels can independently control loads to create dynamic lighting
scenes. These dimmer units automatically compensate for voltage and frequency
uctuations and employ advanced phase-control techniques to reduce icker and
increase lamp life.
Product Features
• Suitable for use with incandescent lamps
and low-voltage lamps utilizing iron core or
electronic transformers
• Specialized dimming modes - soft turn On/Off
and linearized brightness control.
• Can supply up to 200 mA to the C-Bus
network (models SLC5504TD4A and
SLC5508TD2A with built-in power supply)
• Integral thermal overload protection on each
channel
• Individual channels can be turned ON/OFF at
unit or via C-Bus commands
• LEDs indicate the status of the network at
the unit, the status of the unit’s load and
power, and the status of each channel
• 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
