LD12 Remote Mount Light Dimmer
Product Description
The LD12 is a remote mounted light dimmer module that is designed for complicated annunciator requirements in Loran/GPS systems. It is capable of controlling 12 independent lamps with full test function. In its basic operation mode, the LD12 can function has a bulk lamp dimmer at one amp current capacity. Also, it can interface with RS-series remote switches from AEM that are used in Loran/GPS installations.
Features
- Adjustable lamp dimmer provides 12 separate 28V lamp lines
- Operates in preset mode at 12V – 24V or adjustable via an external remote control
- Selectable day, night, and lamp test functions
- Day mode provides regulated 24 VDD for all lamps — preventing early lamp failure from excessive voltage
- Sealed, nitrogen filled, vibration resistant relays with gold-plated interconnects
- G10-FR constructed circuit boards, with solder masks reflowed tin-plating, and environmental post-coating
