dougalzeb Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Does anyone have any information on the Strand Multidim. We use them for house light control but as they are no longer supported by strand it is hard to get any wiring info on them. What I am particularly interested in is the control standard they use as I need to add extra control points to the system. Cheers in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I believe it is just 0 to +10V dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robloxley Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, why not phone Strand up? They may not be made anymore (if you say so), but that's not to mean they don't still have information about them - you might even get hold of someone who worked on them. They might even still have some outstations around, if that's what you need (equally, SLX/Northern Light/The Service Company/other strand dealers may have some).

Ike Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I have a feeling the outstations are still made as they are of use with other products however saying that I thought the multidims were still in production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 As Rob says, why not just give Strand a call? Ask to speak to someone in the service department, they're usually very helpful. 020 8571 3588 is their number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bunting Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 You are best mailing John Wright (jwright@stranduk.com) as he is head of technical service (well actually he IS technical service -due to cutbacks). John is at least 150 years old and has been with Strand forever, so knows most of the control and dimming products, that have been produced in the last 20-30 years.However, don't overload him with questions and queries, as he has enough on his plate as it is. Multidim production stopped around 1997, but John has a very good library of old manuals, diagrams, etc. Richard B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougalzeb Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 Thanks for the help. I tried to get info from strand but via a distributer who said they could not get anything and that the control boxes were no longer made but I have not tried Strand direct. Will get in touch and see how we go. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if John's not 150 years old, large parts of his beard must surely be .... I'll vouch for the fact that he's a very helpful and knowledgeable chap, though - I've had occasion to enlist his assistance in the past, and he's always come up with the goods.
