8 CHANNEL LOW VOLTAGE HALOGEN CONTROLLER

Description

Use the 8 Channel Low Voltage Halogen Controller from RMA Technologies in displays and exhibits for museums, zoos, aquariums, and specialized trade shows.

This unique controller can operate up to 8 low voltage halogen lamps from single or multiple electronic transformers depending on total wattage. This is ideal for backlit maps or other displays where pushbuttons are needed to operate one or more lamps with some timing or other logical control. The built in microprocessor can be custom programmed for your application while a serial interface can be used for control from a remote host. Displays requiring both halogen and LED lighting can combine the 8 Channel Controller with the 32 Channel LED Controller for an economical stand-alone control solution.

Combine the 8 Channel Low Voltage Halogen Controller with our other LED or AC controllers and Audio Player products for a complete interactive, multi-technology display.
