The CNLDM-6 dimmer module provides 6 independent channels of dimming for
incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, forward phase electronic low voltage, 2-wire
fluorescent, and neon/cold cathode loads. Each channel can also be configured for
switched-only control of non-dimmable loads. Three CNLDM-6 models are 
available to support 120, 220, or 277 Volt AC applications.

The CNLDM-6 occupies a single module space in any CSTC cabinet. The unit is
designed to communicate with the PAC2 or any other 2-Series control system via
the Cresnet control network. Simplified termination of all high-voltage wiring to the
module is provided via captive screw terminals.

Designed for continuous operation, each of the module’s six dimmer channels is
controlled by dual back-to-back SCR’s rated at 40 Amps, insuring the highest
degree of reliability. Lamp filament buzz and EMI/RFI emissions are minimized
through high-performance toroid inductors potted in thermally conductive epoxy
on each channel. Low-maintenance convection cooling assures quiet and 
trouble-free operation.
