Mode of Operation
Continuously variable pulse width modulation
Supply Voltage
12V Version: 8 to 20 vdc working, up to 32 vdc momentary.
Fuse or breaker in electrical box
Installation Method
Installs directly into standard 1-gang outlet box
Output Voltage Range
From zero vdc to essentially supply voltage
Continuous Output Current
Full rated current up to 105 F (40 C) ambient, 75% of rated current up to 115 F (46 C)
Ambient Temperature Range
- 40 F (- 40 C) to 115 F (46 C) (with restrictions noted)
DC-DC Conversion Efficiency
About 98% over entire dimming range
Load Types
Resistive loads including incandescent lights and heating elements. Optimized for LED lighting
Reverse Polarity Protection
Input leads can be reverse connected without damage. Fuse link on back of circuit board opens if power is reverse connected across negative leads
Transient Protection
Double resistive/capacitive filtering, zener diode clamping
Size
Unit about 1.8" (47 mm) square
Line Regulation
Directly proportional to supply voltage
Weight
From 3 to about 5 oz (84 to 140 gm depending on options
Load Regulation
Generally less than 3% from minimum load to maximum load at any setting
Voltage Drift
Nil with steady input voltage
Power Dissipation of Drive Circuitry
Less than 0.038W. No-load current draw "on" but at minimum setting is about 1mA
Service Life of on/off Switch
About 50,000 cycles
Heat Sink
Dual Heat sinks are electrically isolated from voltage and act as a protective circuit enclosure. Temperature rise under maximum load is about 40 F (22 C) above ambient
