General Information:

The Standard Dimmer Module is designed for use in both Sensor®+ and Unison® Dimming Series modular rack enclosures. Standard Dimmer Modules provide cost-effective digital forward phase angle dimming for standard loads such as incandescent, low voltage, quartz, neon, cold-cathode and 2 and 4-wire fluorescent ballasts. The patented, high-density, dual modules feature modular installation and removal, fully magnetic circuit breakers and standard or enhanced risetime toroidal filters.

FILTERING

• High quality toroidal filters

- 350μS risetime - Standard 100-120V modules*

- 500μS risetime - Enhanced 100-120V modules*

* Risetime measured at full load, at worst case firing angle (90 degrees), from 10-90% of output wave form

DIMMER RANGE

• Incandescent, low voltage dimming range 100-0%

• Dimming range of 2 and 4-wire fluorescent ballast is dependent on lamp ballast combination.  Contact ETC for range verification.

• Sizing of Neon transformer used in dimming applications should be 1.5x greater than size used in non-dimming application
