Analogue Mains Dimmer
AD2500
Multiload’s Analogue Mains Dimmer uses unique dimming
technology, proven over a decade, to create a professional
high power mains dimmer rated up to 10A.
AD2500 accepts a 1-10V signal for dimming control, giving
exceptionally smooth dimming, and in addition uses its internal
relay to isolates the mains supply to the load completely when
this signal is taken below 1V.
It is ideal for high power loads such as chandeliers, because
many AD2500s can be connected to the same signal to dim in
unison as a group.
Ideal for retrofit
•
Can be interposed in the existing mains supply to the load.
The live is taken into the AD2500 where it is ‘phase-chopped’
to produce a variable live (dimmed) output for the load.
•
As the signal to the AD2500 requires only a 2-core low
voltage cable, Multiload’s RPC Rotary Push Control (p7) can
use existing switch positions and wiring to provide both
dimming and switching controlled by this signal.
Features and benefits
•
Can dim and switch any phase-dimmable mains load.
•
Eliminates irritating acoustic hum, or dimmer buzz, at the
control point.
•
Easy to retrofit.
•
Preserves the life of drive units.
•
Signal wiring SELV compatible.
•
Proven reliability.
Technical
•
Uses leading-edge phase control to dim any mains load.
•
Rating: 10A, 75W to 2.3KVA.
•
Signal input is isolated 0-10V, SELV compatible.
•
Incorporates an internal 10A mains relay.
•
Unique SoftStart circuitry eliminates high surge currents
which occur during switch-on or after interruption of the
mains supply.
Lamp Conserver
MLC
Multiload LampConserver dramatically prolongs lamp life
of all types of tungsten filament lamps, up to 10A rating.
Simple installation makes the MLC2500 ideal for both new build
and retrofit into existing troublesome installations.
Mains voltage is frequently up to 10% higher than the nominal
230V expected: MLC2500 can reduce this voltage before it gets
to the lamps – which greatly increases lamp life (5% reduction
doubles lamp life). Payback on lamp replacement alone can be
achieved within a year of installation.
Available as
LampConserver MLC2500. Stand-alone – simply wired by
interposing between mains switch and load.
LampConserver Dimmer MLC2500DIM with MRM rotary
module. Allows lamps to be dimmed and switched by
connection of a remote MRM (which has identical features to
RPS (p7) but uses mains potential 2-core signal for dimming).
•
Eliminates irritating acoustic hum, or dimmer buzz, at the
MRM wallplate.
•
MRM – push on/ off 10A switching of mains supply plus
separate mains potential control signal.
Features and benefits
•
Totally eliminates surge currents and their fatal effect on
tungsten lamps.
•
Eliminates nuisance tripping of MCBs and fuses caused by
surge currents.
•
Increases safety of circuit protection by allowing fuses and
MCBs to be rated at nominal current.
•
Special voltage control circuitry reduces overvoltage to the
lamps, thus greatly increasing lamp life .
•
Ideal for pre-setting brightness levels to balance the aesthetic
effects of different light sources.
Technical
•
Rating: 10A.
•
Unique SoftStart circuitry eliminates high surge currents that
occur during switch-on or after mains supply interruption.
