1.4.2 Dimming or Switching Outputs
Redbacks are constructed using internal modules that contain 6 channels each. Two types of
modules are available:
 Dimmer modules.
 Switch modules.
Redback’s can be therefore be ordered with combinations of dimming modules and
switching modules to provide a system with dimmed channels for conventional lighting and
non-dimmed (switched) channels for control of devices that require switched “non-dimmed”
power such as LED fixtures or moving lights.
For example, a Redback Wallmount 24 can be ordered with 18 channels of dimming and 6
channels of switched power.
To see the type of modules that are fitted to your Redback press the large status button at
the bottom of the LCD screen home page:
then from the Status menu that appears press [About].
The “About” screen shows the type modules that have been fitted to each group of 6
channels. They will be either an “Opto Dim Module” (dimmer) or a “Switch Module”
In this example, a 24 channel Redback is fitted as follows:
 Channels 1 to 6 are Dimming outputs (Opto Dim Module).
 Channels 7 to 12 are Dimming outputs (Opto Dim Module).
 Channels 13 to 18 are Dimming outputs (Opto Dim Module).
 Channels 19 to 24 are Switched outputs (Switch Module).
1.4.3 Output Connections
Redback’s can be supplied with either internal load connectors or front mounted load
sockets.
The following types of front mounted load socket are available:
 Australian sockets.
 U.K. 15A sockets.
 Shuko sockets.
 GST 18 sockets (Two x GST18 dimmed outputs and one GST18 non-dimmed output
per channel).
1.4.4 Neutral Disconnect Output MCB
Redback’s can be supplied with a “Neutral Disconnect” MCB for each output channel. This is
a MCB with a 2nd set of contacts to break the Neutral circuit (as well as the Active) when an
overload on the active causes the MCB to trip. It is not a two pole MCB, as these trip with
an overload on Active or Neutral.
1.4.5 Inverted Controls
The 24 channel Redback can be ordered with reversed labels and LCD screen for mounting
the opposite way up. This places the load connectors on the left of the dimmer which allows
it to be located to the right of a cable patch panel without the cables from the patch panel
running in front of the circuit breakers. A normal Redback 24 can be mounted on the other
side of the patch panel thus providing 24 channels on each side of the patch panel without
any patch cables hanging in front of the circuit breakers. See section 2.5.
