Chilli Net

Chilli has a number of features designed to meet the needs of the professional user including a variety of playback options, network capability through ChilliNet and comprehensive configuration options through the backlit onboard interface.

The ChilliNet system uses standard CAT 5 cabling to interconnect the units in the system. Units are daisy chained together up to the maximum network limits. CAN Bus provides a stable network protocol for ChilliNet to run over.

Zoning software allows users to assign any dimmer channel to any one of 10 zones or areas. This enables one dimmer in an architectural system to be used to control multiple areas within a room or environment.

Take a nightclub, which has 6 areas, each requiring 4 channels of dimming and localised control as an example. The zoning software enables one 24 channel dimmer to be split into 6 areas, each area having 4 channels and each area with its own control panel. This allows for shorter installation time and costs as only one mains supply is needed and only one dimmer installed.


The zoning software provides
  • 10 Areas/Zones
  • 1 Master Area/Zone
  • 12 Memories Per Area/Zone
  • 3 Assignable Sequences Per Dimmer
  • Alarm Input
  • User Selectable DMX interface relationship – DMX on/off, DMX takes precedence, LTP or HTP.

All Chilli Dimmers are compatible with the Zero 88 Frog Box.
