Introduction
The AMX Radia Lighting Control SystemTM employs a dual-platform programming architecture
that supports both the Axcess programming language and PROlink. The AMX Lighting product
line is modular by design, and includes a wide variety of integrated dimmer control modules,
dimmer modules, and also switch/relay modules. There are also circuit cards that can control
dimming and switching of incandescent, fluorescent, neon (cold-cathode), high and low-voltage
equipment, loads (motors), electronic and magnetic ballasts.
These cards and controllers can be housed in any of our five enclosures to ensure complete
compliance with any spacing/application requirements. Once the lighting control requirements are
defined, you can choose from the extensive group of lighting controllers, modules, etc., install them
into the best-suited enclosures, and create the perfect lighting control system for your customers.
FIG. 1 shows some of the AMX Lighting Control System components.
Features
The AMX Lighting Control System features include:
 Controls up to 1,500 dimmers or 255 6-channel devices (approximate) with a AMX
Axcess Control System complete with dimmer-level feedback
 Controls up to 60 dimmers with standalone PROlink systems
 Supports 128 lighting scene presets stored in 16K of non-volatile memory
 Recalls up to 8 of 128 presets with contact closures
 Modular and scalable lighting system configurations of one to 1,500 dimmers
 Supports both Axcess and PROlink programming languages
 Modules are UL and C-UL listed for United States and Canadian compliance

Introduction

Applications
You can use the AMX Lighting Control System for commercial, corporate, and residential
applications. The dual-platform Axcess and PROlink control architecture can address virtually any
number of lighting zones. Entire residential or commercial lighting systems can be manually
controlled or fully automated. AMX Lighting systems can also be integrated into existing Axcess
presentation/control systems.
Residential applications can be divided into inter-linked lighting zones using central and local
control configurations. FIG. 2 shows a sample AMX Lighting system configuration using PROlink,
dry closure, and AXlink devices.
Controllers
The four controllers available for AMX Lighting installations include the RDD-DM4 (4-channels),
RDD-DM6 (6-channels) Integrated Dimmer Control Modules, and the RDC-DC (6-channel) and
RDC-PDC Pro (6-channel) Dimmer Control Cards.

Installation
Space Requirements
AMX Lighting control installations require very little space. Enclosures are the main concern. All
enclosures are mounted flush, on a vertical surface and must have a minimum clearance of 12"
(304.8 mm) above and below to allow for air circulation. Physical dimensions for each enclosure
are described in the Installation section.
Conduit
Conduit runs depend on the enclosures you use and their AMX Lighting modules. All enclosures
have conduit knockouts on the top for high-voltage connections, and knockouts on the bottom for
low-voltage connections.
All conduit knockouts allow for 1/2, 3/4, and 1-inch (12.7 mm, 19.0 mm, and 25.4 mm) conduits as
shown in FIG. 3. You should also consider these recommendations prior to installing enclosures:
 Install separate conduit for lighting loads. The recommended knockout for loads is
located on the top center of the enclosure.
 Install separate conduit for the 120 VAC wiring to the line input terminal block. The
recommended knockouts for incoming power feeds are located on the top-left and top-
right sides of the AMX Lighting enclosure.
Install separate conduit for low-voltage signals for dry closures, AXlink, and PROlink connections.
The recommended knockout for these control connections is located on the bottom of the
enclosure. There are additional knockouts on the bottom-left and bottom-right sides of the
enclosures for alternate low-voltage connections.

Mounting AMX Lighting Enclosures
AMX Lighting enclosures must be mounted on a vertical surface with a minimum of 12" (304.8
mm) clearance above and below the enclosure. FIG. 6 shows the centerline reference points and
dimensions.
1. Remove the front cover by removing the screws at the bottom of the enclosure; two tabs
suspend the cover from the top.
2. Position the enclosure on the wall so that it is level, with the high-voltage terminals of the unit
at the top.
3. Mark the four mounting holes according to the dimensions shown in Figure 8.
4. Install screws at the marks. The maximum screw size is #12.
5. Hang the enclosure on the four screws. Then, tighten the screws.
Refer to the Dimmer Enclosures with Breakers installation guide for more information.
High-Voltage Connections
FIG. 7 shows an example of a high-voltage connection for an RDD-DM4 controller.

Connecting high-voltage, single-phase input power and loads
Follow these steps to wire high-voltage (120 VAC, 240 VAC, and 277 VAC), single-phase power
connections (FIG. 8) to any of the AMX Lighting modules.
1. Connect the green ground wire(s) to the copper ground lug on the enclosure. Ensure the ground
wire is properly connected to earth ground.
2. Connect the white neutral wire(s) to a terminal on the enclosure's neutral terminal block. Each
terminal on the block can accept two 10 AWG wires.
3. Provide a separate neutral wire for each dimmed zone.
4. Connect the black line input from the electrical devices to the module's line terminal. The line
input terminal accepts a 10 AWG copper conductor.
5. Connect load lines from the electrical devices to the Load terminals. Load 1 applies to dimmer
1, Load 2 applies to dimmer 2, and so on.

The RDA-ENC2 enclosure contains a ground-terminating lug. The RDA-ENC4, RDA-ENC6,
RDA-ENC6B, and RDA-ENC12B enclosures contain a neutral terminating block and a ground-
terminating lug.
Low-Voltage Connections
The low-voltage area in the AMX Lighting controllers contain connections and DIP switches for
AXlink, PROlink, dry closures, and module jack connectors. On the controller cards, low-voltage
power for the board is supplied either by line power, optional auxiliary power supply (RDA-PSM),
or the +12 VDC pin on the AXlink connector. There is also a green status LED on the controller
circuit board that blinks, according to the current operating status of AXlink and red LEDs, one for
each of the external connectors for additional modules. Figure 18 shows an example of the low-
voltage connections, DIP switches and LEDs using the RDD-DM4 controller.

Green status LED indicator
When you apply power to the AMX Lighting Control System, the green status LED notes its
conditions:
 It is on full when power is applied to the control module.
 It blinks on and off when AXlink communication is present.
 It is off after default initialization is complete.
The LED indicator is located near the dry closure connector on the control module.
Red status LED indicators
The red LED's function is to indicate level. LED brightness increases as signal level increases from
zero to 100. The LED indicator is located above each external load connector jack on the control
module.
Configuring and connecting PROlink
On all AMX Lighting controllers, DIP switch SW2 sets the PROlink pack number. The pack
number is determined by the value of all the switch position settings. The following table shows the
SW2 DIP switch positions and their values. The pack number assignment range is 1 through 10.
The lighting system will not work if you assign a pack number outside of the range.
1. Power off the AMX Lighting enclosure at the breaker panel.
2. Locate the SW2 DIP switch on the controller circuit card (marked PROLINK ADDRESS), and
set the pack number using the values shown in the proceeding table. The pack number must be
1 to 10.
3. FIG. 18 shows how to wire the PROlink connector to a PROlink wall panel.

number is determined by the value of all the switch position settings. The following table shows the
SW1 DIP switch positions and their values. The device number assignment range is 1 through 255.
1. Power off the enclosure unit at the breaker panel.
2. Locate the SW1 DIP switch (AXLINK ADDRESS) on the controller circuit card and set the
device number using the values shown in the proceeding table.
3. Connect the four-pin AXlink male connector into the four-pin female AXlink connector on the
