LumenDim3 3-Channel CRMX Wireless Dimmer

The RC4Wireless LumenDim3 is a low-voltage DC 3-channel wireless dimmer utilizing the LumenDim CRMX wireless dmx receiver. It communicates with LumenRadio CRMX transmitters, and is also compatible with Wireless Solution W-DMX components.  When used in a LumenRadio CRMX system, LumenDim3 provides extensive Remote Device Management (RDM) functionality*.

LumenDim3 is the ideal way to add wireless dimming to an existing LumenRadio or W-DMX wireless DMX system, to put battery-powered lamps, motors, relays, solenoids, and more into hand-held props, moving sets pieces, and other hard-to-reach locations.

Intended for power input from 6V to 24VDC, LumenDim3 delivers up to 150W per dimmer at 12VDC. Three high-efficiency pwm (pulse-width-modulation) dimmers provide high output power with minimal heat and power loss.

Comprehensive monitoring of internal operating conditions, including temperature, supply voltage, and current draw on each individual dimmer, is accessible through RDM* or a custom PC application.

LumenDim3 is easy to connect and use. All wiring is done with Anderson Powerpole connectors. Input power, usually from 12V rechargeable batteries, enters on the RED+ and BLACK- terminals. Each of the 3 dimmer outputs has a YELLOW+ and GRAY- terminal for direct connection to load devices.

LumenDim3 Specifications
  • Compatible with LumenDim wireless DMX products, including SuperNova RDM* controller software.
  • Compatible with Wireless Solution W-DMX transmitters.
  • Voltage range 6 – 30VDC.
  • Each individual dimmer can be assigned to any DMX channel with non-dim, linear, or Inverse Square Law (ISL) dimmer curve.
  • 16-bit resolution (65,536 steps) ensures very smooth dimming of LEDs.
  • Absolute maximum peak output current, per dimmer: 42A (non-continuous).
  • Typical continuous output current, per dimmer: 12.5A.
  • Absolute maximum input voltage: 30VDC.
  • Proprietary RC4 Digital Circuit Breaker technology allows the user to specify a maximum current for each dimmer.  When current passes this limit, the dimmer is disabled electronically to avoid damage.
  • Digital monitoring of battery voltage, current, and temperature are accessible via RDM* or custom software via USB port.

* RDM functionality will be available later in 2011.  All existing customers will be offered firmware updates free of charge for the life of the product (some exceptions apply).
