0-10V controlled lighting contactors with boosted 0-10V outputs

  • Switches mains supply to lighting circuits on or off by means of an isolated (SELV-compatible) 0-10V signal
  • Features boosted sink /source outputs for control of 0-10V or 1-10V dimming drives, including LED drivers and fluorescent ballasts
  • Dimming and switching functions both controlled by the same 0-10V signal input
  • Independent inputs to control switch on and off regardless of the state of the signal input
  • For use with Multiload’s Rotary Push-control Wall Dimmer (RPC), MoodMaker Scene-setting System, Take Control and also with third-party controls (see Related Products)
  • LC100 is designed for a single lighting circuit, while LC200 will handle two lighting circuits with separate mains inputs, signal input and signal output
  • LC100R and LC200R have internal relays rated at up to 10A (resistive), with an inrush current of 80A.
  • LC100T and LC200T use semi-conductor switching, are rated at 2A and capable of handling inrush currents up to 400A

Lighting Contactors are housed in DIN-rail mounted units

  • LC100R and LC200R have internal relays rated at 10A (resistive), capable of handling inrush currents to 80A. LC100T and LC200T use semi-conductor switching, are rated at 2A and capable of handling inrush currents up to 400A

Note: Under certain conditions we can offer increased ratings, please contact Multiload on +44 (0)20 7794 9152 to discuss your requirements

  • The inputs used to control the LC Series are isolated from the mains supply and are SELV compatible
  • LC100 units provide a single switch with boosted 0-10V output.  LC100 units also provide 15V 50mA isolated supply output
  • LC200 units provide two independent switches, each controlled by a 0-10V input, with boosted 0-10V output. LC200 units also provide a 15V 50mA supply output
  • Switch activation is factory set at 1V 
  • Signal output 0-10V, a boosted version of signal input, is capable of sinking or sourcing 40mA
  • Note: In certain conditions we can offer increased boosted capability, please contact Multiload on +44 (0)20 7794 9152 to discuss your requirements
  • 15V output can be used to provide 15V to other devices such as Multiload’s Take Control (see Related Products)
  • Each switch can also be controlled by two independent inputs which control the switch on and off regardless of the state of the signal input

Rotary Push-control Wall Dimmer (RPC)

0-10V rotary dimming and switching. RPC1 fits into wall plates and grid systems from UK wall-plate manufacturers.

  • When the RPC is connected to the 0-10V input of the LC Series Lighting Contactors, the mains supply to the associated lighting circuit can be switched on and off by adjusting the RPC rotary control.
  • RPC allows easy retrofit dimming control, no chasing walls, and no heat and noise generated at the wall plate
  • Two separate RPCs can be connected to LC200R and LC200T
  • A wiring diagram can be found on page 4 of the TechPack
  • More information on RPC can be found here

Take Control (Take Control Unit TCU100, Take Control Rotaries TCR)

Allows up to four TCR Take Control Rotaries to be positioned around a room or building, with each taking control of switching and dimming. TCRs fit or clip into wall plates and grid systems from UK wall-plate manufacturers.

  • LC series Lighting Contactors provide 15V power supply for one TCU100 and switch the mains supply to the lighting circuit. Controlled by 0-10V signal output from TCU100
  • A wiring diagram can be found on page 5 of the TechPack
  • More information on Take Control (TCU100, TCR) can be found here

MoodMaker Scene-setting System

Multi-channel scene-setting system with up to four Scene-select Wall Plates, each with a choice of six scenes (four moods plus full ‘on’ and ‘off’) for any number of lighting channels or circuits.

  • Where dimming and mains switching is required (for channels C to F), the 0-10V signal from MoodMaker can be routed via LC100R and LC100T to control 0-10V or 1-10V LED drivers – or other control gear connected to that channel, and to switch the mains supply to those lighting channels.
  • LC200R and LC200T will allow switching and dimming of two separate channels
  • A wiring diagram can be found on page 6 of the TechPack
  • More information on MoodMaker can be found here

Third-party Lighting Control Systems

Used with third-party lighting control systems providing a 0-10V control signal.

  • Switches off the mains supply below a pre-defined signal threshold, and outputs a 0-10V boosted dimming control signal
  • LC200R and LC200T can control two separate lighting circuits

LEDrose Constant Current Driver (LDR100)

A controlled dimming driver for constant current LEDs​.

  • A constant current driver for LEDs which can be positioned at great distances from light source(s) and dims smoothly to zero
  • Dimming by constant current reduction (CCR), it produces very low electro-magnetic interference
  • Can be controlled by a 0-10V signal from LC Series Lighting Contactors
  • A wiring diagram can be found in the TechPack
  • More information on LEDrose LDR100 can be found here

VoltMaster Intelligent Transformer

A voltage-stabilised power supply for low voltage AC light sources.

  • Drives 12V and 24V AC low voltage lighting
  • Drives 12V and 24V AC LED replacement lamps
  • Can be controlled by 0-10V signal from LC Series Lighting Contactors
  • A wiring diagram can be found on page 7 of the TechPack
  • More information on VoltMaster can be found here
