September 2006

The Radia Eclipse Series is a new line of advanced lighting products designed to transform complex lighting requirements into simplified, cost-effective solutions.

The new products are dimmer modules that will make configuring, integrating and installing lighting with AMX control systems easier than ever.

  • Easier to Integrate
    As native NetLinx devices, they are designed to interface with all the residential products you buy from AMX
  • Easier to Program
    Because they are native VisualArchitect devices - simply drag and drop the desired module into your customer’s system, and VisualArchitect will automatically generate the NetLinx code for you
  • Easier to Install
    They communicate with the NetLinx Controller via the AXLink control network making installation a simpler process
  • Easier to Sell
    Radia Eclipse is a low cost alternative to comparable lighting solutions


New Features Include:

  • Custom preset configuration files - which can be saved and reused in any installation - a huge time saver for programmers
  • Support for up to 768 dimmers/zones - a more than 8 fold increase over the previous generation
  • Greater processing power for quicker preset recall - an even better user experience
  • RoHS compliance - an environmentally-friendly product
  • Each traditional dimmer - supports up to 1200 watts
  • Supports Radia specialty dimmers - including fluorescent, energy management switches and low power DC switching

The new Radia Eclipse Dimmer Modules are available in domestic and international versions (120 or 240 VAC).

  • Radia Eclipse Dimmer Module 4 (RE-DM4)
    Supports up to 4 traditional dimmers and 2 specialty
    dimmers
