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.
