RE-DM4 and RE-DM6 RADIA Eclipse Dimmer Modules
The following table provides a general relationship between load type and which curve to use:
Standard Dimming Curve (1)
FIG. 39 shows the curve 1 voltage output in 120 volts DC.
Load Type Curves
Incandescent Curve 1 – Standard dimming curve
Curve 2 – Energy efficient, uses 10% less energy.
Advance Mark VII Ballast Curves 3, 5, or 6
4-wire Ballasts Curve 5 – Used for some ballasts
Curve 7 – Used with other ballasts with the RDM-DC series of modules.
Low voltage Curves 5, 6, B, C – All logarithmic curves with slight variations in the curve.
Lutron FDB Ballasts Curve 8 – Used in conjunction with the RDM-FDB series of modules.
Curve 9 – Used in conjunction with the RDM-FDB series of modules.
Provides a slightly different “look” than curve 8. Since this curve has the
highest low end turn-on level by default, it is probably a good choice for
Advance Mark X. We have found the Mark X usually needs its low-end set-
ting adjusted higher.
Non-dimming/Switched Curve N, Curve E – Used for ON/OFF control only. Useful for all switch
modules (i.e. RDM-SWM, RDM-HSW, RDM-DPSM, RDM-ZC modules).
Fan motors Curve R - Used for devices that start at a high voltage and then decrease
voltage in order to function.
