Relay operation is dependent upon the channel mode as set by the operator. Additionally the appropriate relay/s will operate if the dimmer drive level is at full or off for more than one minute, maximising system efficiency and safety. You can now connect a dimmer per outlet in your stage lighting system and without the need for patching and be able to deliver high quality dimmed power or clean mains from each socket as required, says the company. The adaptability of the HPC series is not limited to the output mode however as it is fully capable of operating under a variety of conditions and in a range of configurations.
The HPC will operate from a 100 to 240VAC supply with various rise time options, single Triac or dual SCR dimming devices, various channel current ratings, and with a variety of output connectors. Additionally the HPC may be optionally fitted with an RCD protection device per channel ensuring maximum safety. All models may be powered from two phase power supplies while maintaining equal numbers of channels per phase, and will operate from mains power supply frequencies of between 40 and 66Hz with no setting changes. Monitoring via RDM is incorporated.
Physically the HPC returns to the 350mm depth configuration of the popular HP Series dimmers meaning full compatibility with existing racking.
The new JANDS HPC range is shipping now with The State Theatre of Western Australia, Albany Performing Arts Centre and the soon to be completed Chatswood Civic Place all benefitting from the inclusion of this product.
