DCDE-20 Dimmer/Power Controller |
|
The DCDE-20 was developed primarily
for those who prefer rotary knobs for lighting control. It can support two
control stations. To the best of our knowledge the DCDE-20s ability to
support two rotary controls is unique! The DCDE-20 changes smoothly from one
of its sixteen power levels to the next. The dimmer features an exponential
power curve which provides an even change in illumination with each click of
the encoder . The DCDE-20 powers up to the level
set on the main encoder. This makes it particularly convenient when wired
in-line with an existing circuit switch. Just flick your existing switch ON
and the lights will soft start and ramp up to the level set on the main knob.
After power up either knob can control the power level or turn the lights on
and off. The DCDE-20 has been very popular as an instrument panel dimmer. One
unit easily powers all of your gauges lights and the compass binnacle light
as well. A single unit can handle all of the needs of both upper and lower
helm stations of dual station boats. The compact rotary encoders are
connected to the dimmer/controller with snap-in modular cables. The combined
length of the modular cables can be up to 250ft allowing the control unit to
be located where the load carrying wiring is easily accessible and the
control knob(s) to be installed where they are most convenient. MSRP $154.95 including one control
encoder, one 6ft modular cable, one black & silver knob, and USPS
Priority Mail Delivery. Additional control encoder & knob;$14.95. 50ft Modular Cable; $14.95. We can
also fabricate custom length cables* of any length. Call for details. *Cables are standard three line flat telephone cables and are readily
available at electronics outlets or can be easily fabricated by anyone who
does telephone or computer cabling. |
