Product description
The DMX8DIM is an 8 channel, 250 Watt dimmer. It is fed by a single 120VAC 20A
branch circuit. Each output is protected by a self-resetting poly-fuse. Each of the
dimmers can be separately controlled using a typical DMX512-based lighting controller.
The DMX8DIM is housed in a standard NEMA1 electrical enclosure. Knockouts are
provided on the top and bottom of the enclosure for easy installation. Cables may enter
the sides of the enclosure by using standard chassis punches.
