CONTROL ELECTRONICS MODULE
A.
B.
General
1.
The dimmer rack electronics shall be contained in one
plug-in Control Electronics Module (CEM+). Each CEM+
shall plug into a dimming cabinet, with no discrete wire
connections. A simple User interface shall be provided for
system configuration, testing and diagnostics. There shall
only be one model for all rack types.
Electronics
1.
The CEM+ shall be provided with an Ethernet control signal
input. This input shall be fully configurable with a range of
patching and priority programming capabilities.
2.
Two optically isolated DMX512 inputs shall also be provided,
allowing overlapping or separation of any control level.
2,500V of optical isolation shall be provided between the
DMX512 inputs and the CEM+. This shall protect the
DMX512 inputs from a failed control module and the CEM+
from failed DMX512 inputs. Systems that do not have
optical isolation on a prewired factory plug-in device shall
not be acceptable.
3.
The CEM+ shall be completely digital, without employing any
digital-to-analog de-multiplexing schemes or analog
ramping circuits.
a.
In the event of data loss each rack shall maintain the
last level for a user-programmable time of zero to five
minutes or indefinitely, or may be programmed to fade
to and play an emergency preset. Systems that do not
offer this feature shall not be acceptable.
4.
The CEM+ shall respond to control changes in less than 25
milliseconds. Dimmer outputs shall exhibit no oscillating or
hunting for levels. Dimmers set to the same level shall
output within ±1V of each other, regardless of phase or
electronic module control.
5.
Dimmer output shall be regulated for incoming line voltages.
The regulation shall adjust for both RMS voltage changes
and deformations in the incoming AC waveform. The CEM+
shall monitor and adjust each dimmer's output to maintain a
constant power to the load. Regulation shall maintain the
desired output voltage ±1V for the entire operating range
(90-140V AC) with the exception that the maximum output
Talmadge Auditorium – Rock Eagle
Lighting, Audio-Visual
C.
University of Georgia
RCE 2013029
will be no greater than the line voltage minus dimmer
insulation loss. The regulation shall compensate for dips
and anomalies in the AC waveform on a dimmer-by-dimmer
basis. There shall be no interaction between dimmers in the
system or any other equipment. The output shall be
nominally regulated to 120V, but shall be field adjustable on
a dimmer-by-dimmer basis to allow for varying cable length.
6.
The entire response to incoming line changes shall take no
more than 25 milliseconds. Dimming systems that do not
respond to line fluctuations and do not contain wave
deformation detection shall not be acceptable.
7.
The CEM+ shall contain diagnostic routines to allow the user
to test and troubleshoot the system. The CEM+ shall
contain a Test/Bypass switch to turn all dimmers on to full
for testing. This switch shall bypass all electronics and shall
force the fan on.
8.
A system-wide panic circuit shall be provided. Any dimmer in
any rack may be assigned to the panic circuit.
9.
The CEM+ shall be able to record up to 128 backup looks.
Backup looks shall be programmable by recording current
dimmer levels (as set by the console), by entering dimmer
levels on the CEM+ directly, or a combination of both
methods. When a backup look is active, the DMX512 inputs
shall be ignored in the default priority mode.
10. All system functions may be activated by the CEM+'s user
interface and shall not require any remote unit. Systems
that do not offer this feature shall not be acceptable.
11. The CEM+ shall be able to configure dimmers for ETC
Dimmer Doubling, which allows a single dimmer to set two
different levels on one dimmer circuit by splitting the AC
power into positive and negative halves.
User Interface
1.
A backlit 6-button keypad and 2-line-by-20-character backlit
LCD shall be provided for system configuration, testing and
diagnostics. The backlit design of the panel controls shall
provide for ease of use in dark environments.

shall also have the capability of storing up to three
custom curves and shall have an adjustable Preheat,
all assignable on a per dimmer basis.
The dimmer mode shall also be capable of being set
on a per-channel basis. Modes shall include: Normal,
Dimmer Doubled, Switched (unregulated on/off with
adjustable threshold), or Fluorescent with adjustable
threshold.
DMX Loss behavior can be set to Hold Last look, Wait
and Fade, or Fade to Preset.
Up to 128 presets may be programmed, recording
any level, whether set in direct level menu or by a
Data input. Presets shall be activated in the default
fade time of 2 seconds.
The direct level menu shall provide the ability to set a
dimmer or groups of dimmers to a level.
The CEM+ shall be capable of monitoring and
displaying [LCD] incoming line voltage for all three
phases. With installed current sensors the same
