Lighting control and automation group Dynalite has launched the DDMC802GL, the latest in its economical and sustainable multipurpose controller series.
Suited for home automation and hotel suite control applications, the DIN rail-mountable DDMC802GL features a unique hardware-configurable design, where plug-in output cards accommodate specific loads assigned to the system.
“Dynalite’s range of multipurpose modular controllers heralds the next ‘eco’ generation of Dynalite technology,” said Phil Main, Dynalite business development manager.
“No two control systems are alike, and the range of control requirements is ever increasing. By providing the ability to use load-specific modules--whether for luminaire dimming or automation of blinds, curtains or fans--there’s a huge reduction in the waste caused by unused channels in conventional control approaches.
Both the new DDMC802GL and existing DDMC802 modular controllers can control a wide range of loads--including trailing-edge or leading-edge phase control dimmers, HF ballast control (individually programmable DALI, 1-10V and DSI), relay control, fan and curtain control.
Featuring eight channels with a nominal load per channel of 2A, the DDMC802GL (general load) multipurpose controller can accept up to four dual-channel or two quad-channel plug-in modules/cards for different loads.
The total box load is module-specific up to 16A. Alternatively, for applications requiring maximum flexibility, the landmark DDMC802--featuring eight single-channel plug-in module slots--can be loaded to a total box load of 16A in all card configurations.
