BE SURE THAT SUPPLY POWER IS DISCONNECTED AT THE SOURCE BEFORE PROCEEDING!
If the lighting load exceeds 72 watts for 12V loads, or 144 watts for 24V loads, a repeater (item number AL-3R-6A) can
be used in conjunction with the AL-PWM-6A dimmer and the constant voltage driver. See Figure 2 and installation
instructions for AL-3R-6A for more details about connecting multiple loads to one AL-PWM-6A dimmer.

72 watts of load may be attached to each of four runs in this 12V configuration when
two 150-watt drivers are used (part number PS-150-12).
144 watts of load may be attached to three runs in a 24V configuration when three
150-watt drivers are used (part number PS-150-24). See inset above. For 24V FlexForm,
one run of 144W max is directly powered by one driver. The two other runs of 144
watts will used a combined 288 watts and be powered by the two 150-watt driver
with the leftover 12 watts available for a short fourth run, if desired.
Note that the repeater and one of the 6A runs get their power from the secondary side
of the driver using the dual outputs (two positive and two negative terminals), In most
cases, when drivers with a single output (the 25-watt, 60-watt and 100-watt drivers)
are used, the repeater will not be necessary. In the case that multiple separate lower
wattage runs are attached to a 100-watt driver, for example, land the leads to both the
dimmer and repeater on the same terminals (matching polarity: red to positive and
black to negative) and do not exceed 100 watts of combined load, and no single run
can exceed the maximum run of the lighting product. See installation instructions and
cut sheets online for maximum runs for specific lighting products.

When using a 24V system and three drivers, connect one max run up to
150 watts through the dimmer; then supply the repeater with power
directly as shown. The remaining three runs not to exceed 300
combined watts nor the maximum single run of the lighting product.
