Dimming Settings
Min Scale (VAC)
Set the minimum scale voltage of the circuit. See
Dimmer Output
Diagram
on
page 26
for an illustration relating to this property.
Max Scale (VAC)
Set the maximum scale voltage of the circuit. See
Dimmer
Output Diagram
on
page 26
for an illustration relating to this
property.
Regulation
Set whether voltage regulation is enabled for the circuit (Yes/No).
Default is Yes.
Preheat
Set whether the Preheat setting is on (Yes = On). Default = No
(off).
Time (sec)
Preheat Time value allows the preheat level to ramp back in after
a blackout to allow rapid snap blackouts. This property specifies
the length of time for the ramp back to preheat level.
Default = 2 seconds.
DC Out Prevent
If enabled, ensures that both positive and negative half-cycles of
the dimmer output are always equal. This setting is typically used
for loads sensitive to DC (for example, transformers and
electronic loads). Default is No (No = Off, Yes = On).
Inrush Protect
Provides a soft-start feature when lamps are turned on from 0 by
ramping up the level over three mains cycles. Default is No (No =
Off, Yes = On).
Scale Load
The scale load setting allows hyper-accurate regulation of the
voltage of the dimmer output. The scale load allows the CEM3
dimming engine to compensate for power losses occurring in the
choke of the dimmer. The scale load is calculated as the load on
the channel divided by the channel’s capacity (in amperes) and is
expressed as a percentage. For example, a 5A load on a 20A
channel would have a scale load of 25% (5A/20A x 100% =
25%).
Panic/Arch Settings
Allow in Panic Control whether this circuit is included in the panic look.
Allow in Preset
Control whether this circuit is included in any presets that may be
recorded in the future.
Arch Zone
Number of the zone for which you are setting the Panic/Arch
parameters.
Advanced Features
AF Enabled
Enable or disable advanced features for this circuit. Yes = AF
enabled. This field is not available for circuits set to Dimmer
Double.
AF Mode
Set the load reporting mode for this circuit. Options are: Off,
No-Load, and Load Change. Default for AF modules is Load
Change. This field is only available if the rack property
AF Enabled is set to Yes. and the Dimmer property AF Enabled is
set to Yes.
AF Reaction
Set the length of time for an AF reaction to occur. Default = 5
seconds. This field is only available if the rack property
AF Enabled is set to Yes. and the Dimmer property AF Enabled is
set to Yes.
Sensitivity
Set the threshold a load can be within before triggering a load
error. Available in 0.5A increments. 2A is default. This field is
only available if the rack property AF Enabled is set to Yes. and
the Dimmer property AF Enabled is set to Yes.
