  • For most models of Sensor dimmer, the electronics and inductor are still in the circuit when set to non-dim in the rack so the waveform is altered and voltage and current are out of phase. Relay modules or ThruPower modules in relay mode are recommended.
  • Thank you. I heard this recently and wanted to get some addtl info. A school I am helping out remodel after a fire has a 24 channel Sensor dimmer rack and they plan on using the dimmer rack channels for some of their led power up on the bars because that is the only thing wired to the bars (various dimmer channels spread over the venue). Originally I just thought putting those few modules on non-dim would be ok however since I heard this info that will change. Don't know what led's they are planning on getting yet but I wanted to give them the heads up.
