Introduction
The JANDS FP12 is a high quality, rugged, 12 channel, 2.4kVA per channel (10A/240V)
dimmer rack specifically designed for demanding touring and theatre applications.
The FP12 can be powered from three-phase or single-phase mains supplies. The FP12
features opto-controlled Triacs and medium risetime chokes protected by
thermal/magnetic circuit breakers. The FP12 uses microprocessor-based digital control
for accurate dimming and in-built test functions. Digital control is via standard DMX-512
protocol.
The FP12 features toroidal output chokes. These chokes provide excellent high
frequency noise suppression and, together with the temperature-controlled fan, low
acoustic noise.
Control signal to the dimmer is via a standard DMX-512 socket at the front panel, while
the dimmed outlets and three phase power entry are located on the rear panel.
