Section 2
DETAILED FEATURES
The MDP-1219 works with the phase angle control method with SCRs.
This method produces disturbance especially in the lower frequency range.
The disturbance will be filtered by using interference suppression filters.
The heat produced by SCRs will be blown out by an electric fan.
The short circuit protection for each channel is achieved by a high-quality
magnetic circuit breaker and SCRs with 1000A peak current capacity.
Built-in DMX512,analogue input voltage(0~10V) and load outputs allow
different applications.
About Fan Cooling
The unit's fan is used to dissipate the heat so that this unit can work in
a perfect condition.
When the power is turned on, the cooling fan will automatically run.
When the power is turned off, it will stop.
Attention!
After you've set up the wiring connection, remember to replace the
back cover and seal up the wiring holes so that the cooling fan can
blow the heat out.
