Power-DAC8-TL

powerDAC8  TL is primarily designed to control dimmable electronic ballast (from PHILIPS, OSRAM, and HUCO) with DMX512 instead of 1-10V. There for it has an analogue output of 0-10V and a power switch, both controllable by the same DMX channel. The power switch is meant to switch the mains power of the ballast. The power switches have a hybrid structure; a snubberless triac handles the switching current and a relay the steady current. Switching action takes place at mains zero voltage crossing. Because of that all, each channel can control for example 18 ballasts with 50W lamps. One must realize that an electronical ballast can create an inrush current of about 20A. Read the ballast specification for that!
powerDAC8-TL can also be used as a DMX controlled switchpack with an additional demultiplexer. By internal jumper you can change settings, see features
