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.

•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.
