The AMX Lighting product line is modular by design, and includes a wide variety of integrated dimmer control modules, dimmer modules, and also switch/relay modules. There are also circuit cards that can control dimming and switching of incandescent, fluorescent, neon (cold-cathode), high and low-voltage equipment, loads (motors), electronic and magnetic ballasts. These cards and controllers can be housed in any of our five enclosures to ensure complete compliance with any spacing/application requirements. Once the lighting control requirements are defined, you can choose from the extensive group of lighting controllers, modules, etc., install them into the best-suited enclosures, and create the perfect lighting control system for your customers. FIG. 1 shows some of the AMX Lighting Control System components. FIG. 1 AMX Lighting Control System components Features The AMX Lighting Control System features include: Controls up to 1,500 dimmers or 255 6-channel devices (approximate) with a AMX Axcess Control System complete with dimmer-level feedback Controls up to 60 dimmers with standalone PROlink systems Supports 128 lighting scene presets stored in 16K of non-volatile memory Recalls up to 8 of 128 presets with contact closures Modular and scalable lighting system configurations of one to 1,500 dimmers Supports both Axcess and PROlink programming languages Modules are UL and C-UL listed for United States and Canadian compliance Radia Lighting Control System 1 Introduction Applications You can use the AMX Lighting Control System for commercial, corporate, and residential applications. The dual-platform Axcess and PROlink control architecture can address virtually any number of lighting zones. Entire residential or commercial lighting systems can be manually controlled or fully automated. AMX Lighting systems can also be integrated into existing Axcess presentation/control systems. Residential applications can be divided into inter-linked lighting zones using central and local control configurations. FIG. 2 shows a sample AMX Lighting system configuration using PROlink, dry closure, and AXlink devices.
