NORMAL OPERATION
LEDs located on the front panel of the RE-82D indicate channel levels as you operate faders on your console.
The "VALID SIGNAL" LED will light whenever the dimmer is receiving a control signal within the range of
channels that the dimmer is assigned to. The "Phase A" and "Phase B" LEDs will indicate that power sources are
applied to the dimmer. The fan will run continuously whenever power is applied to the RE-82D. An over-
temperature sensor will shut down all channel output if the dimmer temperature rises above safe limits (
≈
175
°
F
exit air temperature).
RELAY MODE
The two leftmost switches control the "relay" mode. When either switch is in the up position, the channels
associated with that switch operate in non-dim mode. These channels will be either full on or full off depending on
the level of the faders controlling them.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES
Each channel of the RE-82D is protected by a 20 Amp, fast acting, magnetic circuit breaker located on the front
panel of the unit. If the total load for a channel is greater than 2400 Watts the channel circuit breaker will trip.
There are two 1/2 Amp., 250 Volt, fast acting fuses on the front panel to protect the internal electronic circuits
from an overvoltage condition. These fuses may be replaced ONLY by fuses of the size and type given above.
