RDM-MDM Multimode Dimmer Module

2400 W

The RDM-MDM Multimode Dimmer Module is ideally used in situations 
where the load is not specified or the load may change at the last moment. 
This unit is a unique combination 2400 W Incandescent dimmer, 
2400 W Switch, or 2400 W FDB fluorescent dimmer. It consists of a heavy 
duty SSR construction for dimming and a heavy duty positive air gap relay 
for switching. The RDM-MDM module's 120 and 240-277 VAC ratings are 
CE, UL, and C-UL approved. 

RDM-MDM UL and C-UL Ratings:

120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2400 W per circuit

240/277 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2400 W per circuit

Suggested Loads:

Caution Pre-Installation Notes:

All Class 1 wiring must be connected to proper terminals.

All control wiring must be connected to proper terminals.

Disconnect power while installing or connecting the unit.

Keep top and bottom air vents clear at all times.

Test loads for shorts before connecting.

Use low-voltage wires with a 300 volt rating or greater.

Use field-installed copper conductors.

Run all low-voltage and control wires away from heat producing parts 

of the dimmer.

Each dimming circuit must have a separate neutral connection.

All electrical ratings are for continuous duty.

For indoor use only.

AC lighting loads only.

This module may require extra power from the AXlink connection or an 

external power supply connected to the control card.
