Product Overview
The DMX12DIM ELV-JBOX from Doug Fleenor Design is a 12 channel, 100 Watt per channel dimmer pack that is fed by a single 120VAC 15A branch circuit. Each of the dimmers can be separately controlled using a DMX512-based lighting controller. The dimmers use MOSFET power devices and the dimmed outputs are Electronic Low Voltage (ELV) compatible using reverse phase (aka: trailing edge) control techniques. The DMX12DIM ELV-JBOX is housed in a standard NEMA1 electrical enclosure. Knockouts are provided for easy installation.
Specifications
- Input circuit: Protected EIA-485 receiver (LT1785)
- Input protection: Undamaged by up to 60 Volts continuous, 15KV transients
- Input signal: 0.2 volts minimum, 12 volts maximum, DMX512, DMX512/1990, or DMX512-A
- Input/thru connector: One 3-position terminal block
- Termination: None. A 120 Ohm termination resistor isrequired if the dimmer is the last device on the line
- Power input: 120 VAC 60 Hz 10 Amps at full load. Actual current draw is 0.07A plus connected load
- Power input connector: 3-position terminal block (Line, Neutral, Ground) suitable for up to 12 AWG wire
- Idle power: 7 Watts
- Power output: 120 VAC 60 Hz 0.83 Amps (100W) maximum per output
- Minimum load: No minimum load requirement
- Output protection: 1.5A internal fuse on each output channel
- Output connectors: 2-position terminal block (Line,Neutral) on each output suitable for up to 12 AWG wire
- Dimming circuit: Digitally fired, opto-isolated, MOSFET power devices. These components allow for forward or reverse phase dimmer control
- Rise/fall time: 2 uS (10% to 90% at 90° firing angle) at rated load
- Dimming curve: Square law. Visually appealing on LED lamps (120V), halogen lamps, magnetic low-voltage (MLV) and electronic low-voltage (ELV)
- Non-dim curve: Each channel can be configured as anon-dim which turns on at 60%, off at 40%. Outputs switch on at zero crossing. Other non-dim trip point options include 50% and 1% (globally settable)
- DMX footprint: Twelve consecutive DMX slots beginning with the selected DMX starting address
- DMX starting address: Three digit front panel thumbwheel switch. Address changes are immediate (no power cycling required)
- Local control: An "address switch" setting of 601 turns on output 1, 602 turns on output 2, etc. Setting 699 turns on all outputs. Setting 698 turns on all outputs when DMX is present. Setting 697 turns on all outputs if any DMX level is above zero
- Status indicators:
- Red POWER indicator
- Green MIMIC 1 indicator mimics the intensity of output 1 (useful in troubleshooting)
- Green SIGNAL indicator illuminates when DMX512 is present; flashes when local control is active (address switch settings of 601 thru 624 and 697 thru 699)
- Cooling: Convection cooling, no fan required
- Isolation: DMX512 input is optically isolated from AC power circuits to 600 Volts
- Color: Gray
- Safety listing: ETL Listed to UL 508
- Size (HxWxD): 18" x 12" x 4"
- Weight: 10 lbs
- Warranty: Five years parts and labor. Dimmer must be returned to Doug Fleenor Design for warranty repair. Shipping to Doug Fleenor Design is to be paid by the customer. Return ground freight is paid by Doug Fleenor Design.Warranty covers manufacturing defects
Notes
- Safety warnings:
- The DMX12DIM ELV-JBOX should only be installed by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical codes
- There are no user serviceable parts in the DMX12DIM ELV-JBOX. Servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel
