Hi All,

I need your valuable input to clarify my doubt, just want to know if Kessil a160 can be controlled through current USA ramp timer pro? I assume both can be adapt with voltage perspective. What is the challenges? Please share your thoughts

Since I have the ramp timer it cannot. The Kessil has a minidin plug going into it with a ( like a Ethernet or telephone jack) on the other end the ramp is a two plug non mini din so as far as I know no

I don't have the answer but I saw this

Dimming Type: PWM
Connector: DC Plug 2.5mm x 5mm

The connector is ok. However, the PWM,Pulse Width Modulation, for dimming ( basically that is on/off frequently); I doubt it will work. I think, mostly guessing, the Kessil uses voltage input range for controlling brightness output.

Get a used kessil control for almost the same price and it works 100% (Let me know if you need to find a used one :))

Knowing the ramp timer I think it will be hard to modify but I guess you could I've had the Current marine now for over 2 years. Haven't use it now in 8 months but I tried to sell it but no takers

Answer is convincing. I have one ramp pro sitting at home. I want to give a try. I worried there would be voltage issue. This what is see in their site.
