It uses a 0 to 10 VDC current sinking for use with four-wire ballasts. It is designed for use with the RDA series of enclosures, in an AMX Lighting™ modular digital dimming system. The module’s 120 and 277 VAC ratings are CE, UL, and C-UL approved. RDM-DC UL and C-UL Ratings • 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 1920 W • 277 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 1920 W • Control Out: 50 mA, 12 VDC sinking Suggested Dimmed Loads • Four-wire dimmable ballasts, like Advance Transformer Mark VII™ or the Energy Savings SuperDim™ series Specifications • Dimensions (HW): 10" x 2.75" (25.4 cm x 6.99 cm) • Non-phase dependant • Use wires rated at 75°C (167°F) • Torque terminals to 20 in-lbs. (2.3 N/M) • Max. wire size: 10 AWG (4 mm²) • Wire stripping length: 0.28" (7 mm) • Weight: 2.3 lbs. (1.043 kg) • BTU/hr: 150 • Control current: 125 mA @ 12 VDC 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. • Use low-voltage wires with a 300 volt rating or greater. • Use field installed copper conductors. • All electrical ratings are for continuous duty. • For indoor use only. • Test loads for shorts before connecting. • This module may require extra power from the AXlink connection or an external power supply connected to the control card.
