FEATURES
ISD BC
INTENDED USE
To provide direct dimming and switching control of fluorescent fixtures equipped
with four-wire ( 0-10 VDC) dimming ballasts.
ATTRIBUTES
Fluid slide movement allows fine adjustment of light level over the entire dimming range. Separate ON/OFF preset switch permits switching the lighting without disturbing the light level setting. An integral LED indicator turns ON when
the dimmer is OFF to facilitate location in a dark room. ISD Series controls are
compatible with the DSA Series wallplates and other Decora® style devices.
CONSTRUCTION
Strap-mount device is designed to fit standard single- or multi-gang switch boxes.
FINISH
Standard white or ivory finish devices are supplied with a single-gang Decora
style wallplate. Snap-on color change kits are available allowing field color
change of the device to gray, black, brown, almond, white, or ivory. Color change
kits include a matching single-gang Decora style wallplate.
ELECTRICAL
Uses standard single-pole or three-way wiring. No neutral connection is required. Separate low voltage connection to ballast for 0 to 10-volt control signal.
Dual rated for 120 and 277VAC ballast loads.
For additional switching capacity, use in conjunction with LPCS 120/277 power
control station.
FUNCTIONAL
Integral push ON/push OFF switch allows lighting to be switched ON and OFF at
the level currently set by the slider. Ballast controller can be used with standard
three-way and four-way switches for applications requiring control from multiple
locations.
INSTALLATION
Wall mounts over standard single-gang switch box. Devices can be ganged into
multi-gang assemblies by breaking off the scored aluminum tabs.
