DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
The AB-0602N is a 6 circuit, 2400 Watts per circuit
ballast driver intended for non dimmable fluorescent
and LED fixtures which can use a switched,
remotely controlled 120VAC hot to operate them. A
three circuit version (AB-0302N) is also available
and operates identically.
EXTERNAL CONTROLS
The AB-0602N can communicate with remotely
located control equipment in several ways.
A USITT DMX-512 protocol bus is provided so the
unit may be used with any DMX lighting console.
The AB-0602N is fully patchable with respect to the
DMX bus.
The AB-0602N may also be controlled by several
types of wall mounted smart remote stations. Smart
remotes communicate with the unit by way of a low
voltage RS-485 bus. This bus is completely separate
from the DMX bus. Smart remotes are used to
activate preset scenes which have been stored in the
AB-0602N. There are several types of smart remote
stations. Multiple smart remotes of the same or
different types may be chained together on the RS-
485 bus. The same RS-485 bus may be chained to
multiple AB-0602N units.
The AB-0602N may additionally be controlled by an
arrangement of one or more momentary switches
(simple remotes). The switches may be used to
control a specific set of eight scenes which are
stored in the AB-0602N.
INSTALLATION
PHYSICAL LOCATION
The unit is intended for INDOOR USE ONLY and
should not be subjected to excessive moisture or
heat. The unit should be installed where a supply of
circulating air is available. The AB-0602N is
designed to be wall mounted in a equipment room or
electrical distribution area.
The ambient air in the installation area should be
below 86 deg F. Provide spacing between the unit
and other equipment to allow air flow around it.
See the DIMENSIONS AND LOCATIONS diagram
for more information about mounting the unit.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The internal AB-0602N circuitry requires a 120VAC
line feed. The circuitry is fused with a 1/2 Amp fast
acting 1 1/4" x 1/4", 250V fast acting fuse.
POWER INPUT CONNECTIONS
A separate 120 VAC line feed is needed for each of
the six switched hot loads (LINE A - F). The
maximum load for each load is 2400 Watts (20
Amps).
The connections are made on a terminal strip inside
the AB-0602N. The diagram
DIMENSIONS AND
LOCATIONS shows the connection details.
A grounding bar is also provided.
SWITCHED LOAD HOTS
These connections (LOAD A - F) are made on a
terminal strip inside the AB-0602N. The diagram
DIMENSIONS AND LOCATIONS shows the
connection details.
CONTROL SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
Connectors with screw down terminals are provided
for connection to DMX consoles, smart remotes, and
simple remote stations.
Specific wiring connection point information for all
external control signals is shown in the diagram
CONTROL SIGNAL CONNECTIONS .
