ETC Advanced Features Dimmer Module

The Advanced Features (AF) Dimmer Module are designed for use in Sensor+ and Sensor3 Series modular rack enclosures.  Advanced Features Dimmer Modules enable dimmer-specific feedback of load circuit data while performing digital phase angle dimming in AF-capable Sensor+ dimmer enclosures.  The high-density, dimmer modules feature modular installation and removal, fully magnetic circuit breakers and enhanced risetime toroidal filters.

• Dual 15A/20A Dimmers, or Single 50A/100A Dimmer
• 500μS risetime¹
• Works great with most:

  • Incandescent lighting (0-100%)
  • Low voltage lighting (0-100%)
  • Quartz lighting
  • Neon lighting²
  • Cold Cathode lighting
  • 2-wire Fluorescent ballast³
• Advanced Features:

  • Load dropped below recorded value
  • Load increased over recorded value
  • DC on dimmer output
  • SCR failed on/off
  • Circuit breaker tripped
  • Dimmer module removed
  • Dimmer load absent
• Withstand hot-patching of cold loads up to full rating
• 100,000A Short Circuit Current Rating
• UL and cUL Listed for continuous duty at 100% of rated load
• Only for compatible Sensor Racks, see datasheet for details.  Not for Unison Racks.
• All available spaces in a rack must be filled to ensure proper cooling.  Use Air Flow modules to complete a rack when fewer than the maximum number of circuits are required.  For example, a 6-module rack powering 8x 20A dimmers requires 4x D20 modules and 2x Air Flow modules.
• ¹ Risetime measured at full load, at worst case 90° firing angle, and from 10-90% of output wave form
• ² Sizing of Neon transformer used in dimming applications should be 1.5x greater than size used in non-dimming applications
• ³ Dimming range of 2-wire fluorescent ballast is dependent on lamp ballast combination.  Contact ETC for range verification
