Overview

The SCA1210 is a 12 x 10 amp adaptive source controller designed to provide scene set dimming of lighting loads that require either leading or trailing edge dimming. This FET-based adaptive dimmer is suitable for resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads. In the event of reactive loads being detected, it uses patented circuitry to protect both itself and the connected load. With a 128 scene integral memory, this device offers multiple control options to meet the most demanding specifications.

The device features dynamic voltage and current monitoring, providing short circuit protection and protecting lamps from thermal shock, thereby extending lamp life. It operates silently when using trailing edge dimming. In addition to iLight network connectivity, it also has an audio visual port and auxiliary inputs, as well as an optional DMX512 input. Its versatility and adaptability make it ideal for hotel ballrooms, museums, visitor centers, entertainment venues, and as part of large integrated systems.

Typical Schematic: A diagram illustrates a typical connection setup involving a control panel, iCANnet™ network, and source controllers. It shows two variations: one with a mini colour touch screen control panel and another with a standard control panel, both connecting to the source controller via the iCANnet™ network.
