A Guide to the Outlook Digital
Network Interface
The Outlook Interface™ has been
developed to enable the Outlook™
range of control stations to be used with
dimming systems that do not directly
support Outlook’s Digital Network
Control protocol.
The Outlook range of control stations
access, modify and recall lighting levels
stored in the dimmer electronics via a
common Digital Network cable without
the need of an external central
processor. Outlook has been designed
specifically for use with Strand Lighting
Digital Environ, LD90, CD80sv and SLD
dimmers, all of these systems
supporting the Outlook functionality as
standard.
There are many applications however
where the flexibility and features offered
by Outlook will result in a requirement to
upgrade an existing control system,
retaining the original dimmers, or a
requirement to control dimming products
from other manufacturers. Similarly, an
Outlook system may be added to an
existing installation (such as auditorium
lighting previously controlled from an
“entertainment” console) where dimmer
cabinet(s) do not support Digital
Network Control.
In these circumstances, one or more
Outlook Interfaces may be used to
provide the necessary support for
Outlook, each interface providing up to 6
analogue 0 to +10 volts dc signals for
direct dimmer control.
