Installation Sheet

RDC-PDC Control Card, Dual or Three Phase (120 or 240 VAC)

The RDC-PDC Control Card module controls up to six dimmable channels with six satellite connectors (for RDM series dimmer or switching modules). The RDC-PDC is controlled by AXlink, PROlink, or by dry contact closures. The RDC-PDC is designed for use with Radia enclosures, in a modular dig- ital dimming system. The module's 120 and 240 VAC ratings are CE, UL, and C-UL approved.

Mounting points

Button/Jumper Information:

RESET button: By pressing the RESET button, located on the RDC- PDC circuit board, it is possible to restart the processor without having to power-down the unit or disconnect AXlink or PROlink. RESET does not affect saved presets or curve settings.

MEMORY PROTECT on/off jumper: The MEMORY PROTECT jumper is set to Off by default. To protect saved curve settings and pre- sets from accidental recording, put the jumper in the On position.

Caution: Pre-Installation Notes

All Class 1 wiring must be connected to proper terminals.

All control wiring must be connected to proper terminals.

Disconnect power while installing or connecting the unit.

Keep the top and bottom air vents clear at all times.

Test loads for shorts before connecting.

Use low-voltage wires with a 300 volt rating or greater.

Use field-installed copper conductors.

All electrical ratings are for continuous duty.

For indoor use only.

AC lighting loads only.
