AP3DM Apprentice 3 Dimming Module AP3DM Apprentice 3 Dimming Module

Apprentice 3 Dimming Module

Model: AP3DM-P, AP3DM-R

The Apprentice3 Dimming Module is designed for 0-10V device control. This dimmer is galvanically isolated up to 1500V and designed to be used with MC luminary style cable. This  module can be installed in the lighting control panel or remotely mounted on the LightSync network. Each of the 4 independent channels can control up to 100 ballasts with 256 steps  between 0 and 10V. Outputs are designed to sink voltage up to 100mA per channel. Each output may be programmed to respond to 16 inputs per channel. Upon loss of power, the  dimmer outputs will go to 10V or full bright-ness.  The intuitive software provided makes it easy to program and adjust the settings.

Features
  • Made in the USA
  • Digital CAT-5 Ready
  • 4 independent channels per module provide the flexibility to control up to 4 zones
  • Each output can control up to 100 typical ballast at .5mA each (sink voltage)
  • Galvanically isolated up to 1500V
  • Power-On level settings allows each output to be configured for 0 to 100% levels upon power-up
  • Power loss to dimmer module sets dimming to full brightness
  • LightSync photocell tracking programmed directly to output point(s)
  • Each output may be programmed to respond to 16 Light-Sync or hardwire inputs. Each input can be programmed to force the output to a preset level, raise or lower  at 10% increments and can work in conjunction with a photocell.  Inputs can be set to "revert to photocell control" after a period of time that can range from 5 to 600  minutes in 5 minute increments. 
  • Fade rate of 0 to 300 seconds can be programmed for each output
  • Minimum and maximum output levels can be configured for each output
  • With a DMX512 serial interface, each output can be controlled by any of the 512 DMX512 signal channels
  • Panel mount (P) option for mounting with relay driver module
  • Remote mounting (R) provided with 4-11/16" J-box
  • RJ45 connectors for connection to LightSync network using CAT-5 cable
  • Removable connectors for easy installation
  • Digitally addressable
  • 12 dimmer modules supported for a maximum of 48 channels
