ETC Standard Dimmer Module

The Standard Dimmer Module is designed for use in all Unison/Sensor3 Series Racks.  Standard Dimmer Modules provide cost-effective digital forward phase angle dimming for standard loads such as incandescent, low voltage, quartz, neon, cold-cathode and 2/4-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.

• Dual 15A or 20A Dimmers
• 350μS or 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
• 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
• 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
