RDM-INC50 Incandescent Dimmer Module

6000 W

The RDM-INC50 Incandescent Dimmer Module is a standard 6000 W
incandescent dimmer. It can dim incandescent lights, cold-cathode, neon
transformers and two-wire dimmable ballasts. It is designed for use with the
RDA series of enclosures, in a AMX Lighting™ modular digital dimming
system. The RDM-INC50 module's 120, 240, and 277 VAC ratings are CE,
UL, and C-UL approved.

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 vents clear at all times.
Test loads for shorts before connecting.
Run all control and low-voltage wires away from heat producing parts
of the dimmer.
Each dimming circuit must have a separate neutral connection.
Use low-voltage wires with a 300 volt rating or greater.
Use field installed copper conductors.
All electrical ratings are for continuous duty.
AC lighting loads only.
For indoor use only.
This module may require extra power from the AXlink connection or an
external power supply connected to the control card.
