Dimmer Units

ARCHITECTURAL RANGE (UNIVERSAL) AND  PROFESSIONAL RANGE (TRAILING EDGE AND LEADING EDGE). 

Dimmer Units 

All units in the series incorporate the C-Bus ‘Learn Mode’ feature. Learn mode allows the units to be programmed without the need for a PC connected to the system. Alternatively, the units can be programmed via a PC using the installation software. The dimmers feature four or eight leading edge phase controlled dimming channels. Each channel has a load rating of 1 or 2 Amps, capable of controlling incandescent lighting and low voltage lighting (utilizing iron-core transformers and electronic transformers compatible with leading edge dimmers).

C-Bus connections are conveniently achieved at the unit through the use of RJ45 connectors, allowing similar units to be quickly looped together. During normal operation the units consume no current from the C-Bus network. Two variants of the product are available. One incorporates a 200mA C-Bus power supply used to source current to the C-Bus network. The other is an economical model with the same features and performance, but does not include the 200mA power supply.

This series of units are capable of generating a C-Bus clock signal and providing a C-Bus network burden. Both the clock signal and the burden are selectable through the C-Bus Installation software. Local toggle buttons have been included to allow individual channels to be toggled at each unit as well as via C-Bus commands. Remote ON and OFF facilities are available, permitting all channels to be turned on ON and OFF without C-Bus Network communication.
