Description
Lowell’s LVC Series volume controls are UL Listed, compact
easy-to-install controls that provide precise level adjustment of
single or multiple speaker lines. Choose 25W, 50W or 100W
models with standard, Decora
®
-style, or adhesive rackmount
plate. All models (including 100W versions) mount within a single
gang E.O.Box with a minimum depth requirement of 2.125".
Standard, one-piece plates are offered in brushed stainless
steel or plastic (white or ivory) versions. Decora®-style twopiece plates are available in plastic (white, ivory or black) or
with a stainless steel coverplate and a white or black plastic
subplate. Rackmount models feature an adhesive dial scale
with clear label area instead of a plate. All LVC Series volume controls have easy to connect, phoenix-style plug-in
screw termination strips for pre-wire convenience with wire
capacity up to 14gauge. Attenuation is 3dB per step or 1.5dB
per step as noted.
For applications that require emergency and paging signals
to bypass/override the attenuator, choose Series 100LVC-PA
equipped with a 24VDC @ 5mA relay (see diagrams on page 2).
Accessory Rackmount Panel (order separately)
Lowell offers three different RMP Series pre-punched rack panels for easy installation of multiple LVC Series controls on to a
rack panel. All include a rear lacing flange for wire management
and a clear PocketID
TM
window for inserting 1/2" labels for control
identification. Choose 3RU panel Model LD8-RMP
(8 positions
with generous spacing) or LD9-RMP
(9 positions with narrow
spacing) for mounting Decora
®
-style 1-gang volume controls or
other low-voltage devices. Model LD9-RMP will also accept 2-
gang devices. Space saving 2RU panel Model L
VC-RMP has 8
positions for mounting rackmount LVC Series volume controls*.
