RE-DM6Radia Eclipse 6-Channel Dimmer Module (120 or 240 volts)

Overview

The RE-DM6 RADIA Eclipse 6-Channel Integrated Dimmer Module (120V: FG706-03;

240V: FG706-04) controls up to six circuits with six 1200-watt onboard dimmers (FIG. 1). The RE-DM6 is designed for use with the RDA series of enclosures, in an AMX Lighting™ modular digital dimming system. The RE-DM6 is controlled by AXLink or by dry (contact) closures.

Caution: Pre-Installation Notes

WARNING: This unit should be installed only by qualified electrical personnel, and in compliance with all national electrical codes, local codes and ordinances. To prevent possible personal injury or death, disconnect power to the enclosure at the breaker box before attempting to work with any AMX Lighting modules.

• All Class 1 and 2 wiring must be connected to their dedicated terminals.

• Class 1 wiring should be connected through the top of the enclosure, and Class

2 wiring through the bottom.

• Load conductors must be same size as line conductors, regardless of

connected load.

• Disconnect power while installing or connecting the unit.

• Keep top and bottom air vents clear at all times, and maintain 12” (30.48 cm)

Radia Lighting System Configuration Pages

The AMX Radia Web pages provide a simple interface for users of the Radia Duet module. The web pages reside on the AMX master when running the Radia Duet module and may be accessed through Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. The RE- DM6 may also be configured using NetLinx code or a terminal. For more information, refer to the RE-DM6 instruction manual available at www.amx.com.

High-Voltage Connections

Each AMX Lighting module has its high-voltage connectors marked on its circuit board. Line, load, and neutrals are also clearly marked.
