Leviton-NSI DS dimmer systems feature high power
capacities in an easy to service compact and modular
design.
The DS digital dimmer systems combine convenient
mobility with a rugged design and high caliber
performance for a variety of lighting application
demands. Our innovative modular design concept
provides easy front panel access for control and dimmer
module replacement even while the systems are rack
mounted. This friendly feature is especially important
for touring groups and also permanently installed
systems where complete pack removal is difficult or
impossible. The DS digital dimmer systems include a
sixteen character liquid crystal display and front panel
keypad for intuitive access to features like backup
presets with fade time, soft patch of DMX and NSI
Micro-Plex control signals, O-IOVDC analog input
control, and dimmer module temperature monitoring.
LED's on the front panel also provide status to a host
of functions like dimmer control level, active power
sources, active DMX512 and NSI Micro-Plex control
signals, and over temperature warning. A DMX512
termination switch is also provided on the front panel.
All of these performance features combined with the
highest power density on the market make this dimmer
an unbeatable value. Patents pending.
