The Lightronics RE82D is an 8 channel rack mount dimmer with a maximum capacity of 2,400 watts per channel giving a total of 19,200 watts. It is suitable for church, stage, theater, school, night club, live performances and other event and artistic applications.
The RE82D is controlled by a lighting console. The unit uses the DMX-512 control protocol. Channels A - D and/or channels E - H may be switched to operate in"relay" mode. In relay mode channels are either full on or full off (non-dim) depending on console fader position. The unit is overcurrent and overtemperature protected. A fan is used to ensure proper cooling. Dimming channels may be reassigned in multiples of 4 channels via switches in the front panel.
Each RE82 requires both phases of a single phase 120/240 VOLT AC service or two phases of a three phase 120/208 VOLT AC service. The neutral conductor is shared by two hots so it is important that the two hots used are of different phases. EACH PHASE must be capable of providing 80 AMPS. Line frequency can be either 50 or 60HZ. One or more RE82 dimmers are to be installed into a standard 19" equipment rack with provisions for connection to an appropriate electrical service in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
