APC 2ch Dimmer Module

Our Advanced phase Control (APC) technology is a Highly Efficient “Green” dimmer, uniquely developed by State Automation’s engineers to provide a new of generation dimmers with high rise time (that is, extremely good filtering) but with low heat loss compared with other dimmers.

APC also greatly increases the range of switchable loads that may be controlled by the dimmer channels. In addition, each APC dimmer output can be supplied with an optional relay to enhance its functionality.
The fitted relay may have either NO (Normally Open) or NC (Normally Closed) contacts. They can be connected either in parallel or in series with the load. This provides three control enhancements that are exclusive to the State Automations APC Dimmer Modules.

Why Parallel Relay?
This option wires a relay contact in parallel with the dimmer circuitry when the channel level is at 100% the relay contact is closed and the current path has virtually no loss.

Why Serial Relay?
The serial relay option wires a relay contact in series with the current path to the load. When the DMX level is set to 0%, the relay contact is opened which removes any voltage from the filtering circuits being present at the output terminals.

VST 2ch Dimmer Module

Our Variable Sinewave Technology (VST)  is the most technological advanced dimming technology available on the market. A dimmer incorporating  Variable Sinewave Technology is close to an “ideal dimmer”. Dimmers employing VST technology produce essentially zero electrical noise pollution. Specifically, power factor, input harmonics and output harmonics are all dramatically reduced when compared with phase control dimmers.

VST is a new type of dimming technology, using modern insulated gate bipolar transistors (transistors) and pulse width modulation (PWM). This enables an AC input voltage to be regulated to produce a variable amplitude sinusoidal output, with virtually no change in frequency or wave-shape. Thus the term “VST”, meaning “Variable Sinewave Technology”.

RPC 2ch Dimmer Module

Our Reverse Phase Control dimmer (RPC) uses an innovative approach to create a slower turn off edge. It has a slim case without using a chunky heat sink and equips a discrimination circuit to protect dimmer from both overload and short circuit. When an overload happens, it reduces the output voltage gradually until a rated current is reached. If a short circuit appears, it shuts down the circuit after confirming a short circuit by sending a series of pulses to the output. The RPC module also has a load type detection circuit which will sense the load condition and shut down its output a heavier inductive load be connected.

The SA RPC produces a Reverse Phase Control waveform and therefore is the ideal choice for dimming incandescent and capacitor loads. With the introduction electronic transformers on LV light fittings and LED drivers, dimmer systems today need to be tailored to best suit the load types. The gentle rising waveform of the RPC dimmer ensures the capacitors in the loads are not overstressed with the high rate of rise experienced with a standard phase control dimmers.

Dimmer electronics are also not stressed, therefore ensuring a long life for both the dimmers and the loads. Silent electronics (no buzzing rise time controlled chokes) gives the RPC dimmer the edge for installing within the studios or on-stage where annoying buzzes are not welcomed. As a bonus, the SA RPC dimmer has both short circuit protection and overload protection. This means your dimmer will recover by itself once you have removed the offending fault “o need to lower that bar or spend 5 minutes resetting the circuit breaker”
