Control/Dimming Cd80 vs cd80sv

[TimMiller]

What is the difference between cd80 and cd80sv dimmer modules?

CD-80 (Original)
CD-80 AE (Advanced Electronics)
CD-80 SV (Supervisor)

Darthrob13, rschwimmer, phenry, dimmerdotcom, or others will have to confirm, but I believe dimmer modules for the former two are compatible with each other, but not compatible with the latter.

You're talking racks, not packs, correct?

Hey, I’m one of those 4 people!

I will answer as if the question is about racks, not packs. If you want to know about packs, just ask again…
CD80 and CD80 AE dimmers are the same. The difference in those racks had to do with control. CD80 SV dimmers are different in ssr and connector type.

What is the intent of the question? I (and others) could give you more information, but what are you planning? Are you trying to use modules from different racks? Trying to convert modules from one type to another

I have tons of cd80 modules and I have a cd 80 "supervisor" rack though the electronics are the AE. Rack says supervisor. So I was thinking I could fill up my supervisor rack with modules the modules fit but I have not had a chance to open up 2 to compare

What you may have is an AE or origional rack that has been upgraded with an SV processor. In that case, the rack will require the origional style modules. Easiest way to check is to pull a module out of the rack and compare the connector with what you have.

What is involved in swapping out the electronics in a AE to the sv. I have a AE rack and can get the SV components pretty cheap (processor, power supplies, cic)
