Leviton MDS Dimmer Cabinets with Luma-Net Control

Description

The MDS Dimmer Cabinet with Luma-Net® Control is one of the most versatile
dimmer cabinet systems on the market today. It comes in two versions; a wall
surface-mounted version and a freestanding floor model. The cabinets are
modular in design, allowing multiple sections to be assembled into a complete
dimmer cabinet, sized for virtually any job requirement. Because of the modular
construction, any number of dimmers can be accommodated.
Dimmers can be of varying kilowatt ratings from 2,400 kW through 12,000 kW.
The cabinet can be fed from 120/208 VAC, 3Ph, 4W - 120/240 VAC, 1Ph,
3W - 277/480 VAC, 3Ph, 4W - 347/600 VAC, 3Ph, 4W sources, and can be
barriered to accommodate mixed feed voltages. It can also be barriered to
contain an emergency section fed from a separate emergency source.
As part of the same cabinet, it can contain a UL Listed 1008 transfer contactor
where required. It is completely convection cooled in ambient temperatures up to
o o
104 F (40 C).
Some of the dimmer features are:
• Plug-in installation or replacement
• Convection cooling
• Ability to dim virtually any lighting load
• UL Listed for use in USA and Canada
• Compliant with NEMA requirements
• Easy to install
• Generous wiring space
• Main circuit breaker capability
The control portion of the dimmer cabinet employs all digital circuitry for accuracy
and for minimum wiring requirements between the dimmer cabinet and its control
systems. Because of the digital nature, the software can tell a dimmer module
whether it is to be a dimmer or a non-dim, tell it what type of fluorescent dimmer
ballast it will operate, and set up the required parameters to properly drive
virtually any type of fluorescent dimmer ballast. The LCD display provides easy
interaction with the software.
Please see Initial Setup and Installation for complete installation instructions.
