Appendix A: AMX Lighting Curves

FIG. 42 shows three different Low End Settings of 5%, 10%, and 20%. Each curve holds its assigned value until the dimmer level reaches 0. Ramping up from level 0 will turn on the lamps at three different levels respectively. Low End settings can be used to correct for problems in dimming various lighting products at low levels. Dimming ranges can be controlled using the low end setting.

Curve 1 dimming range is normally 0 -120 VAC, but with a Low End Setting of 5 the range is reduced to 26 - 120, or a 20% reduction in total dimming range.

A Low End Setting of 10% reduces the range from 40 to 120 VAC or 35% reductions while a Low End Setting of 20 on Curve 1 is about a 50% reduction in dimming range.

Small adjustments in a curve can cause significant changes in a dimmer's response.

Economical Dimming Curve (2)

Similar to Curve 1, Curve 2 rolls off at 90% of the top end or about 105 volts maximum. FIG. 43 shows a curve that reduces the maximum output to 90% of maximum to conserve energy. It is also called the 'energy saving curve'.

Relay turn on level = 1%

Dimming Range = 0 - 114 VAC.
