AMX Control Card RDC-PDC Installation Sheet

The RDC-PDC Control Card module controls up to six dimmable channels
with six satellite connectors (for RDM series dimmer or switching modules).
The RDC-PDC is controlled by AXlink, PROlink, or by dry contact closures.
The RDC-PDC is designed for use with Radia enclosures, in a modular dig-
ital dimming system. The module's 120 and 240 VAC ratings are CE, UL,
and C-UL approved.
