Description
Sensor3 all-in-one ThruPower modules allow free mixing of dimming, switching, or manual bypass on a circuit by circuit basis without replacing the hardware in your Sensor power system. A local override completely bypasses the control system to guarantee that the unsuspecting board operator does not dim your intelligent lighting source. In bypass mode, the integral relay will eliminate the choke and SSR power cube thereby providing clean power to critical power supplies and lighting devices.
The ThruPower module supports circuit-specific setup and load feedback that can be accessed remotely with any ACN control system.
Applications
Where load type is not likely to be known at time of installation
Where production environment load types are likely to change frequently
Where your moving lights, LED, scroller, or power supplies warranty depends on constant power
Low voltage lighting
Use with quartz, neon, tungsten, cold cathode lighting
2-Wire fluorescent ballasts
Attributes
Mechanically latching relays
On/off relay activation through the control system
Manual ThruPower override provides foolproof full AC voltage through from the breaker to the fixture

Filtering
High quality toroidal filters: 500 μS risetime
Risetime measured at full load, at worst case firing angle (90 degrees), from
10-90% of output wave form
Dimmer Range
Incandescent, low voltage dimming range 100-0%
Dimming range of 2 and 4-wire fluorescent ballast is dependent on lamp ballast combination
Sizing of Neon transformer used in dimming applications should be 1.5x greater than size used in non-dimming application
