RDD-DM6
6-Channel Integrated Dimmer Module 120,240,277 VAC
The RDD-DM6 Six-Channel Integrated Dimmer Module controls up to six
dimmed channels with six onboard 10 A dimmers. The RDD-DM6 is
designed for use with the RDA series of enclosures, in a AMX Lighting™
modular digital dimming system. The RDD-DM6 is controlled by AXlink,
PROlink, or by dry (contact) closures. The RDD-DM6's 120, 240, and 277
VAC ratings are CE, UL, and C-UL approved.

This module may require extra power from the AXlink connection or an
external power supply connected to the control card.
Connecting AXlink:
Connect the 4-pin captive-wire AXlink from the RDD-DM6 to the Central
Controller for AXlink control of the dimming system.
Connecting PROlink:
Connect the orange 4-pin captive-wire PROlink connector from the
RDD-DM6 to a PRO-DP8 PROlink wall panel.

Using two feeds for line 1 and line 2 provides
two, 2400 W inputs.
Bridging line 1 and line 2 provides a single
2400 W input.
