The system uses a PWM dimmer and is designed for use in entire cockpits equipped with incandescent bulbs. Of course, LEDs can also be dimmed using the system. The basic components are the base module and the driver module. The base module commands the brightness, while the driver modules are used to control the lamps. Multiple driver modules can be connected to a single base module to allow for the simultaneous dimming of different types of lamps (voltage and sink/source type) or to dim higher currents.

The brightness can be adjusted using a potentiometer (100 ohms to 1 megohm), which is not included.
The board has an input that can be used to turn off the dimmer. In this case, the connected lamps are turned off. To do this, ground must be applied to the input.
The dimmer requires its own stable 5 V power supply, which must not be subjected to a high PWM load.

Potentiometer not included in the delivery contents.

An external 5 volt power supply is required.

At least one driver module is required for dimming.
