Introduction  

 

The new ULD series dimmer is designed to be a capable and reliable solution 
for temporary and portable dimming requirements.  With the menu-based 
interface, the dimmer can be configured for different applications, including 
stand-alone use without a controller.  Default values can be restored at any 
time, clearing the internal memory back to the standard values. 

 

Please take a few minutes to review the specifications and operating features 
of the ULD-340 dimmer. 

 

The ULD-340 dimmer is designed for use with conventional incandescent 
fixtures.  Transformer loads, such as low voltage devices using a step-down 
transformer, may require an additional load to be connected to the same 
circuit to operate properly. 
For operating florescent fixtures, see the section regarding Front Panel Controls. 

 
 
 
 

2) Specifications  

 

 

Power Connection

 

Unless otherwise indicated, your ULD-340 dimmer is designed for connection to 
standard US power systems, 120 VAC 60 Hz.  Lamp connections must be 120 
V  devices  only.    Line  voltages  over  135  VAC  will  trigger  the  overvoltage 
protection circuit and shut off the dimmer pack. 

 

 
 

Ambient 
Temperature

 

The ULD-340 dimmer is designed for use in a cool, ventilated area.  Ambient 
air temperature must be less than 40 degrees Celsius, or about 104 degrees 
Fahrenheit. 

 

Power 
Capacity

 

The ULD340 DMX is unique in the market of small portable dimmers. A single 
breaker is used on the pack instead of individual fuses per each channel. As a 
result, the limits of the dimmer are 

pack 

limits, not channel limits. The following 

guidelines should be followed: 

 

ULD340 DMX-HP – when plugged into a 100% duty-cycle service or a wall 
socket in the USA 
Pack Limit: 15 Amps (1800 watts) for each of the 2 power input cables, or 30 
amps (3600 watts) total 

 

  Individual channel limit of 1800 watts
