C// Grounding
The term GROUNDING refers to a separate wire with green insulation
which is connected from the equipment case to earth ground
(often through a properly grounded conduit system). This is not the
same as the neutral or common and must not be confused with them.
The neutral is a separate, load-carrying circuit conductor. The ground
conductor should not normally carry current. When the
Dimmermaster is connected to its power source by conduit, the ground
connection can be made via the conduit itself. If flexible conduit is
used, a separate bonding conductor will usually be required.
Always check your local codes for hook-up before operating this
equipment. It is recommended that power connections to the
Dimmermaster be made by a qualified electrician.
D// Load Connections
The dimmer pack consists of 12 or 24 dimming channels.
The Dimmermaster will dim any load from 1 watt through 1200 watts
or 1 watt through 2400 watts at 120 volts for a 2412 and a 1224
respectively. The load may be incandescent, inductive, or resistive.
This includes conventional incandescent, quartz incandescent,
rain-lights, pin beams, and similar lamp loads. This does not include
fluorescent or neon lamps. Fluorescent lamps with dimmable ballasts
may be dimmed by other means; consult the factory for help.
There is one lug for each output and a neutral bar for all neutrals.
Lugs are numbered according to their circuits. There should be a
separate neutral returning from each load circuit.
E// Control Connections
The Dimmermaster 1224 and 2412 can take either of two control
protocols: USITT DMX-512 or 0 to +10VDC analog. All control
connections are made on connectors or terminals inside the pack.
Positions are labeled as to function. The optional power supply
sends power to passive controllers (those that do not plug into
the wall).

Common
When the temperature of the heatsink exceeds 75 degrees Celsius,
the control is cut off. This prevents overheating. When the heatsink
cools, the loads begin to work again. If this happens, the air
circulation around the dimmer should be improved. Check that the
internal fan has not failed.
