Eurorack 50+ Range: Installation digital dimmer cabinets

ADB Eurorack 50+ dimmer cabinet
Eurorack 50+
24x 2.3kW

Building on the long-proven reliability and success of the Eurorack 60 installation dimmer, the Eurorack 50+ offers 24 channels of 2.3kW dimming in a very compact all-digital dimmer rack.

Eurorack 50 combines high quality with low cost and above average performance and is intended for general purpose applications in stage and architectural lighting, whenever space, cost and reliability are the prime considerations.

The standard Eurorack 50+ is supplied with DIN rail terminations to the outgoing circuits, however Eurorack 50+ is also available with a pre-wired hard patch installed within the dimmer cabinet. The lower front panel enloses 24 power outlets, available in most of the standard European formats, allowing circuits to be physically patched as required. The hard patch options available are illustrated below.

Hard Patch Options

24x Twin NF/CEBEC sockets
24x Twin Schuko sockets
24x Triple Swiss sockets
24x Single CEE 16A (P17) sockets
24x Single UK 15A sockets
24x Twin IEC 10A sockets

Operation

The dimmer is configured and controlled via 5 key keypad, identical to Eurorack 60 and Eurodim/3. A bright 12 character LED display and user-friendly scrolling menu provides easy access to all dimmer functions. The display provides local status reporting with clear error messages (400V, overtemperature, fan failure, processor check), and display of DMX and optional analogue control levels.

Eurorack 50+ can be operated without a lighting control desk, allowing local test of dimmer channels (steady or chaser), setting of dimmer levels, and storage of a lighting cue. AFter loss of DMX data, the dimmer can be configured to maintain the last levels, fade to black, or fade to the pre-stored internal memory. All programmed data is saved for an unlimited time.

Installation

Eurorack 50+ is shipped as a complete unit, factory tested and ready for installation. The cabinet can be mounted directly onto a wall, or with optional stand-off brackets to allow trunking to pass behind. The load terminals are conveniently grouped at the bottom of the cabinet and N-disconnect allows periodic isolation testing to be carried out without disconnection of the load wiring.

The bottom panel is fitted with PG31 steel pressure gland for supply cable, XLR5 connectors for DMX, and 24 holes for output cables.
