City Theatrical WDS 5520 1CH Wireless Data System 15A Dimmer

$72.00

The City Theatrical WDS 5520 is a robust, single-channel wireless dimmer that liberates lighting designers from the constraints of cable runs. Operating on the reliable W-DIM™ protocol, this system provides seamless control over a single 15-amp, 120-volt circuit without the need for a wired DMX connection. It is the industry-standard solution for powering and dimming practical props, set pieces, and hard-to-reach fixtures in theatrical, film, and event environments. The system consists of a transmitter that connects to your lighting console and a receiver/dimmer unit that plugs directly into the fixture. Known for its rock-solid performance and minimal latency, the WDS 5520 ensures flicker-free dimming from zero to full, enabling creative freedom and simplifying complex installations where running new cables is impractical or impossible.

About the City Theatrical WDS 5520 1CH Wireless Data System 15A Dimmer

The City Theatrical WDS 5520 is a single-channel, wireless DMX dimmer designed to provide flexible and reliable control of lighting fixtures without the constraints of physical data cabling. This system is particularly valuable in theatrical, live event, and architectural lighting applications where running control wire to a fixture is impractical, expensive, or impossible. The unit combines a robust 15-amp triac-based dimmer with an integrated wireless DMX receiver that operates on the globally available 2.4 GHz ISM band. It receives standard DMX512 control signals transmitted from a compatible wireless DMX transmitter, translating them into precise, flicker-free dimming curves for incandescent, LED, or other resistive loads. This enables lighting designers to place fixtures in dynamic locations—such as moving set pieces, aerial rigs, temporary installations, or hard-to-wire architectural features—while maintaining full, responsive dimming control from the main lighting console.

The system is engineered for performance and ease of integration. The dimmer module itself provides professional-grade electrical specifications, including a high off-state impedance to prevent ghosting, soft-start circuitry to extend lamp life, and advanced thermal management. The wireless component utilizes frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology to ensure a stable, interference-resistant link in crowded RF environments typical of theaters and events. Setup involves pairing the receiver with a transmitter, assigning a DMX start address via DIP switches or software, and connecting the fixture's power. Once configured, it operates transparently as a standard DMX dimmer channel, allowing designers to use their existing console programming without modification.

Housed in a compact, UL-listed enclosure suitable for permanent installation or portable use, the WDS 5520 is built for the demanding environments of professional entertainment. It features standard electrical connections (like NEMA 5-15 or terminal blocks) for power in and fixture out, and may include status LEDs for power, link, and DMX activity. By eliminating the need for a physical DMX cable run, this wireless dimmer system offers significant cost savings in labor and materials for installations and provides unparalleled creative freedom for dynamic lighting design, all while maintaining the reliability and control precision expected in professional lighting.

Key Features

  • Single-channel wireless DMX control for 15A fixtures.
  • Eliminates the need for long and costly cable runs.
  • Reliable W-DIM protocol for rock-solid, low-latency performance.
  • Enables dynamic lighting for practical props and set pieces.
  • Flicker-free dimming performance from zero to full intensity.
