Main features include quick and simple installation; proven design reliability; the ability to operate in all types of environments - hot and cold; a hot patch option; 100% duty cycle on all channels simultaneously; virtually silent operation; thermostatically controlled fan in ducted, force cooling chamber; dual Isolated DMX inputs with merge and full soft patch; flexible dimming, mains distribution or contactor modules; intelligent cooling system; smooth dimming of low voltage, low wattage or inductive loads and RCD protection as standard.
The 48-in-to-48-out Hot Patch option is intended for applications which need a high degree of flexibility since it removes the hassle of the retrospective installation of a custom hot patch. The ART2000i Install is designed so all lamps are terminated in the Top Box, allowing the wall units to be installed at the early ages of the site build. When the site is near completion and a dust free zone, the ART2000i Install electronics can then be added. Once in place, the Live and Neutral conductors for each circuit may easily be disconnected making annual (mandatory) checking very fast and simple. Fundamental to the system is its expansion option: a master 24 channel system can take control of a further 24 channels of dimming, fitted into a similar sized unit, without the cost of all the control electronics.
