RDC-DC Control Card (120, 240, or 277 VAC)

The RDC-DC 6-Channel Control Card module controls up to six dimmable channels with six satellite connectors (for RDM series dimmer or switching modules). The RDC-DC is designed for use with the Radia enclosures, in a modular digital dimming system. It is controlled by AXlink, PROlink, or by dry contact closures. The module's 120, 240, and 277 VAC rating is CE, UL and C-UL approved.

Button/Jumper Information:

•RESET button: By pressing the Reset button, located on the RDC-DC 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 any 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 presets 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 top and bottom air bents 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.
