RDM-2ZC Dual Zero Cross Module
2400 W
The RDM-2ZC Dual Zero Cross Module is a dual 2400 W zero-cross relay
built for long term, reliable switching of electronic fluorescent ballasts, elec-
tronic transformers and incandescent lamps. It is designed for use with the
RDA series of enclosures, in an AMX Lighting™ modular digital dimming
system. The module's 120, 240, and 277 VAC ratings are CE, UL, and C-
UL approved.
