AMX Dual Incandescent Dimmer Module RDM-2INC Installation Sheet

The RDM-2INC Dual Incandescent Dimming Module 2400 W (x2) incan-
descent dimmer is designed for use with the RDA series of enclosures, in
an AMX Lighting™ modular digital dimming system. It can dim incandes-
cent lights, cold-cathode, neon and two-wire dimmable ballasts. The mod-
ule's 120, 240, and 277 VAC ratings are CE, UL, and C-UL approved.
