Figure 2, the 

QolorFLEX 3x10A 

Dimmer 

The QolorFLEX 3x10A Dimmer was designed to provide exceptional power and 

flexibility in a low voltage DC control unit.  It will operate with any DC voltage between 

9-24VDC.  Each dimmer channel can be separately configured with any of four different

output profiles, including ISL curve dimming (for incandescent loads), linear dimming,

LED dimming, or Non-Dim operation.  The unit may be configured either locally via the

Button pad and LCD user interface, or via RDM.
