Target at max and min excitation

NIGHTSEA DIM Option

The DIM option adds a combined switch and dimmer control. When you first turn the unit on it is at full power. As you rotate the switch the intensity decreases, reaching about 30% power at the minimum setting. You have finer control in the brighter portion of the adjustment range. An intensity indicator (1 - 10) makes it easy to record and repeat preferred settings.

  • PWM input for light dimming
  • Footswitch for hands-free operation - contact EMS for details

Specifications

  • Voltage input - 2.8 - 6.0 VDC for ON, 0.6VDC OFF
