The Standard Dimmer Module is designed for use in both Sensor®+ and Unison® Dimming Series modular rack enclosures. Standard Dimmer Modules provide cost-effective digital forward phase angle dimming for standard loads such as incandescent, low voltage, quartz, neon, cold-cathode and 2 and 4-wire fluorescent ballasts. The patented, high-density, dual modules feature modular installation and removal, fully magnetic circuit breakers and standard or enhanced risetime toroidal filters.

FILTERING
High quality toroidal filters
- 350μS risetime - Standard 100-120V modules*
- 500μS risetime - Enhanced 100-120V modules*
* Risetime measured at full load, at worst case firing angle (90 degrees), from 10-
90% of output wave form
DIMMER RANGE
Incandescent, low voltage dimming range 100-0%
Dimming range of 2 and 4-wire fluorescent ballast is
dependent on lamp ballast combination. Contact ETC for
range verification
Sizing of Neon transformer used in dimming applications
should be 1.5x greater than size used in non-dimming
application
