RDM-HFDB Heavy Duty FDB Module 2400 W

The RDM-HFDB Heavy Duty FDB Module is a heavy-duty, 2400 W positive air gap relay and dimmer, built for strength and for reliable switching/dim- ming of Lutron FDB ballasts. It is designed for use with the RDA series of enclosures, in a AMX Lighting™ modular digital dimming system. The RDM-HFDB module's 120, 240, and 277 VAC ratings are CE, UL, and C-UL approved.

Use field installed copper conductors.

All electrical ratings are for continuous duty.

For indoor use only.

This module may require extra power from the AXlink connection or an external power supply connected to the control card.
