AMX Lighting - Enclosure Worksheet Guide
Volt s: Use this cell to enter the voltage of the load connected to the dimmer. This is
important because some local electrical codes do not allow mixing of voltages in a single
enclosure. Local codes may also require use of a separate container for each voltage device
used on the premises. Some dimming modules are phase dependent, and mixed voltages will
cause poor dimming performance when the controller is out of phase with the supply voltage
to the dimmer. The voltage of the controller chosen often determines what voltages can be
specified in the dimmers.
VOLTS uses a drop-down menu containing the voltage choices
listed below:
Load (W): Use this cell to specify the load rating in Watts (default) or Amps. Dimmers are
generally specified in Watts, whereas switches are specified in Amps. Data in this cell cis used
to determine the total Watts per dimmer or integrated dimmer (DM series). This column can
also help determine if the load ratings of the dimmer or switch are overloaded or undersized.
AXlink
DEVICE # uses a text field that allows (5) characters:
Rows and Cells
The following describes the various row information and fields. These are the available choices to enter
data into the worksheet cells.
SLOTS: Each slot is made up of three rows and can contain three dimmers or switches. Slots
can have one, two, or three dimmers (or contain no dimmers at all). Slot can contain Radia
accessories such as power supplies or a choke module. When no dimmers or accessories are
installed, a blank plate (RDA-EFP) must be used/specified.
DIP Switches: Set these according to what you specified in the AXlink Device # and
PROlink
PACK # cells. These are binary state numbers using On or Off to indicate the state of
the DIP switch setting. The AXlink switches accommodate an 8-bit number from 0 to 255.
The first four PROlink switches accommodate a 4-bit number from 0 to 10. The 8th DIP
switch on PROlink is for the Test Mode and is defaulted in the Off position. DIP Switch uses
a drop-down menu containing the switch choices listed below:
Controller Cards: Up to three controllers can be located in a surface mounted enclosure.
The ENC8W can have four Radia control cards. I would then use two distinct Worksheets.
