Dimmer Laws
You can choose a dimmer law for each of the Triac dimmer channels. The dimmer laws determine the relationship between the control value and the output value supplied to the lamp. The following two options are available:
Normal - The standard output of the dimmer.
Linear - Suitable for most live or theatrical situations.
Switch - Output switches from zero to full when the input reaches 50% (DMX slot value of 128).
Square - For use with video cameras.
Non-dimmable loads should NOT be connected to Chilli Pro dimmer channel outputs, without the use of the bypass switch being pressed on bypass variants. Feeding non-dimmable loads off a dimmer channel may cause damage to both the load device and Chilli Pro.
The Switch dimmer law is not a relay, and should only be used to switch dimmable loads.
