15. R and F The Radia Eclipse controllers can employ a low end cut off that allows the dimmer to turn on to a specified level or to dim down to no less than a specified level This level at which the dimmer turns on is called the Low End Setting This is also used to turn a light off at the low end point when dimming down from a bright level A low end setting of 25 applied to the standard dimming curve would prevent the fixture from being dimmed below Level 25 From an off condition the same fixture would dim up to Level 25 and hold that level until the dimming curve directed the level higher If a fixture flickers just before it goes out then the Low End Setting can be used to avoid the unusable dimming range Setting the Low End Setting to just above the level where flickering problem starts will prevent the dimmer from allowing the flicker to be seen iun luda P V Dimmer manufacturers follow or adopt a level to output ratio called the Square Law curve It is an exponential relationship between percentage of light perceived and the percentage of light measured The Square Law Curve is a presumed relationship between perceived illuminance and measured illuminance The Radia Eclipse controller s Curve is a basic Square Law Curve From this basic curve AMX has developed a set of curves other than standard to accommodate the many different properties of the various loads connected to a AMX dimmer Multiple curves provide a user with multiple ways to

RMS 0 120VAC The second characteristic is displayed on the second curve chart with the Dimmer Output Level in Volts DC 0 12VDC The third characteristic is the turn on level for the switched relay aspect and is noted in text as the Relay Turn On Level This third characteristic controls the RLY output of the RDM connections on the RE DM4 Previous versions of Radia would turn on the RLY outputs at INPUT from control system levels of 1 or above Radia Eclipse turns on the RLY output at the OUTPUT level of 1 so that it can effected by curve choices and low end settings These three characteristics are applied to different AMX Lighting dimmers to change the way the dimmers perform The first characteristic most often used for incandescent dimming requires a variable high voltage output to one Hot wire connected to the incandescent lamp The curve determines the amount of high voltage applied to the dimmer s output in relation to the control level The second dimmer characteristic applied to low voltage output of the AMX RDM HDC module is commonly used for fluorescent ballasts that require a low voltage control signal to vary the output of the ballast The third dimmer characteristic merely turns a relay on or off at a specified level This third characteristic is set at an output level of 1 The combinations of these characteristics allow AMX to tailor the outputs of different AMX Lighting dimmers The RDM INC module only requires the first char

77. nted feature of dimmable fluorescent ballasts and low voltage electronic transformers is their tendency to cause the lamps to flicker when dimmed to low levels The normal way to avoid this is to use presets that are not dimmed below the fixture s threshold or to use any low end trim feature provided by the ballast or transformer manufacturer Problems arise when the performance of the dimmer does not match the performance of the dimmable ballast The AMX Lighting system now gives the user the ability to change the performance of the dimmer to avoid problems Many types of track lights and dimmable ballast only have a limited dimming range for the dimmer to work with In a dimming range of 0 to 120 volts AC many lamps do not start to dim until fewer than 100 volts is applied Lamps often do most of their dimming between 40 and 100 volts Dimmers designed to increment voltages from 0 to 120 volts can be wasted on lamps that do not even respond to 50 of the dimmer s output Some lamps are more sensitive to voltage changes at the low end and can accommodate many degrees of dimming but standard dimmers tend to rush past the lamp s sensitive range and occasionally linger in an unusable range Slowly turning a lamp on can be a very different effect than slowly dimming that same lamp off Some light sources require a minimum level to turn on Once these lamps are on they can be dimmed down to lower light levels At the same time most common dimmers are built
