NSTALLATION
Risk of electric shock. Ensure that power is disconnected before carrying out any connections.
Both the power and dimming connection can be parallel (or in-line) connected. If so, ensure
to use suitable cables due to the increased current running through the junction box and
spring terminals.

ABLE CONNECTIONS
5.1.1
Dimming Connection (slot 7-10)
On the positive and negative DIM wire connection, it is possible to control the floodlight in three different
ways. The dimming range is approx. from 0% up 100% light output.
Interface
All on the same
connection: DIM +/-

Comment
Resistance
One floodlight: 0-
100 kΩ
corresponds to 0-100%
light output
Several floodlights(n) p
arallel connected: 100 kΩ/n.
Eg. 4x floodlight controlled together would require a
25 kΩ variable resistor or potentiometer.
It is recommended to use logarithmic resistors, since
the sensitivity is greatest when resistance is small. If
nothing is connected the output is 100%
Very simple to set up. Requires
no external electronics, only
cable and a variable or fixed
resistor(s). Resistant to
electromagnetic disturbance.
0-10 V
External low voltage supply up to 10 VDC.
Very common method for DIM
control. The RLX D has a built-in
delay for stable and reliable
control and resistance to
electromagnetic interference.
4-20 mA
External constant current source. Adjusting the
current from 4-20mA at a nominal voltage of 24
VDC. Only one floodlight per 4-20mA controller.
Not affected by
electromagnetic disturbances.
5.1.2
Startup current
A startup current is needed to energize the electronics inside the RLX D LED floodlight. When using a
MCB16 Type C fuse, approx. 11 RLX D floodlights can be started at once. The inrush current is the equal for
all power alternatives.
