Overview
The LCS and LDP series LED light dimmers are designed to control EPRAD 36 Volt
LED lamps. They can be integrated with any cinema automation system to create
lighting effects in the auditorium. The standard unit is available as either a 1 or 2
channel configuration of either 200 or 320 watts per channel. The number of
channels can be expanded to 4 with the addition of the LDP LED dimmer expansion
unit. Each channel can be configured for any light zone with independent levels and
fade times. EPRAD LED lamps are standard profile with a medium screw-in base in
order to utilize existing lamps fixtures.
LSC LED Dimmer LDP LED Dimmer
The LCS dimmer consists of the QDC-400 control board and one or two LDD-36V
LED power modules.
The LDP LED dimmer cabinet is available in three base models with one or two
LDD-36V LED power modules:
• The LDP Expansion unit is used to expand the number of channels to the LCS
dimmer.
• The LDP Conversion unit can be used with existing phase-cut dimmers to
provide compatibility with EPRAD LED lamps.
• The LDP DC Control unit can be used with existing 0-10V dimmer controllers to
provide compatibility with EPRAD LED lamps.

QDC-400 Dimmer Control Board
The QDC-400 is a four channel light dimmer controller. Light levels for each channel
are saved both locally and at the eCNA. Each level can be set from 0% to 100% in
1% increments. Each level has a Fade-In time that time controls how long it takes
the lights to ramp to a new level. The Fade-In time can be set from 0 to 99 seconds
with 1 second resolution. The channels can be independently configured for any of
sixteen zones. The LDD-36V LED dimmer module receives the level and fade time
from the QDC-400 control board to control EPRAD 36VDC LED lamps.
Note: The QDC-400 control board receives power from multiple sources: The LIN, the power modules
and the local power supply. The board can operate from any of these power sources, but only the
local power supply is large enough to power the level LEDs and LCD backlight.

The eCNA Local I/O Network (LIN) can support up to 32 devices. Each of these devices requires a unique ID
number. IDs 13 through 16 are reserved for the QDC-400 control board. The ID must be set correctly. The ID
number determines which channel configuration or control record data the QDC-400 will use. ID switches are
ignored in Stand Alone mode.
