PD Series Dimmer and Switch Packs

The PROTOCOL lighting control system simply consists of two main components  the PSFxx control stations  and the PD Series Dimmer and Switch Modules.

( available for LED PWM dimming and Voltage DC loads dimming)

PD Series DIMMER Modules can handle a total of 4000 watts and come in 2, 4 and 8 circuit dimmers and switches versions.  ( compatible with Fluorescent power line dimmable ballasts , QUICKTRONIC ® POWERSENSE ®, Mark 10 ® Powerline, etc... )

PD Series DIMMER Modules could be controlled from a computer / PC or integrated with other Audio Visual  or lighting Control systems through the RAU-96  interface.

Each PD Series Module has a built in processor, Memory and self contained power supply. The PD Series Modules communicate directly with the Protocol wall stations using only one twisted pair of DATA wires from the system low voltage 4-wire bus.

The PD Dimmers come in compact surface mountable aluminum enclosures and can be distributed to convenient locations near the electrical panels or close to their loads to minimize line-voltage wire runs. Switch packs have a hardware lock for non dimming loads only with features and specifications similar to the Dimmer packs without the RFI filters.

PROTOCOL dimmers and control stations could be interconnected through wireless RS485 links.
