RDD-DM6
6-Channel Integrated Dimmer Module 120,240,277 VAC
The RDD-DM6 Six-Channel Integrated Dimmer Module controls up to six
dimmed channels with six onboard 10 A dimmers. The RDD-DM6 is
designed for use with the RDA series of enclosures, in a AMX Lighting™
modular digital dimming system. The RDD-DM6 is controlled by AXlink,
PROlink, or by dry (contact) closures. The RDD-DM6's 120, 240, and 277
VAC ratings are CE, UL, and C-UL approved.
