Product identificatie:

This image displays various Casambi control modules. The top-left module is the PWM4 Single Color Dimming Controller, identifiable by its 'INPUT 12-24 VDC' and 'OUTPUT 12-24 VDC Max. 6 A total' labels. The other modules are a CBU-ASR 2ch 0-10V controller (top-right), a CBU-A2D 2ch 0-10V/DALI controller (bottom-left), and a general Casambi connector module (bottom-right).

Bedrading instructies:

The PWM4 controller features screw terminals for secure connections. Refer to the top-left module in the image above for terminal locations.

1. Power Input (INPUT 12-24 VDC): Connect your 12-24 VDC power supply to the input terminals. Ensure correct polarity: connect the positive (+) terminal of the power supply to the '+' terminal on the controller, and the negative (-) terminal of the power supply to the '-' terminal on the controller.
2. LED Output (OUTPUT 12-24 VDC): Connect your single-color LED load to the output terminals. The PWM4 has four output terminals (1, 2, 3, 4) which are internally connected to provide a single dimming channel. Connect the positive (+) wire of your LED load to any of the output terminals (1, 2, 3, or 4) and the negative (-) wire of your LED load to the common negative output terminal (often marked with a line or a common symbol, or simply connect to the negative input terminal if the output is shared common negative). Ensure the total current draw of your LED load does not exceed 6 A.
3. Beveiligde verbindingen: Tighten all screw terminals firmly to prevent loose connections.

Initial Pairing with Casambi App:

1. Inschakelen: After wiring, apply power to the PWM4 controller. The connected LEDs should illuminate.
2. Download app: Download the Casambi app from the Apple App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android).
3. Open app: Launch the Casambi app on your smartphone or tablet.
4. Apparaat toevoegen: The app will automatically detect nearby Casambi devices. Select the PWM4 from the list of unconfigured devices.
5. configureren: Follow the in-app instructions to add the device to your network, assign it to a fixture, and configure its dimming behavior.

4. Gebruiksaanwijzing

The Casambi PWM4 is primarily controlled through the Casambi app, which offers a wide range of functionalities for managing your lighting.

Using the Casambi App:

• dimmen: Use the slider controls within the app to adjust the brightness of the connected LED lights.
• Scènes: Create and save custom lighting scenes (e.g., 'Bright', 'Relax', 'Night Light') with specific brightness levels.
• Animations: Program dynamic lighting effects or sequences.
• Timers en schema's: Set up automated on/off times or scene activations based on time of day or astronomical clock.
• Galerijen: Organize your lighting fixtures into groups for simultaneous control.
• Schakelaars: Pair the PWM4 with Casambi-compatible wireless switches for physical control.

5. Onderhoud

The Casambi PWM4 controller is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, general care can help ensure its longevity.

• Schoonmaak: Veeg het apparaat indien nodig voorzichtig af met een droge, zachte doek. Gebruik geen vloeibare reinigingsmiddelen of oplosmiddelen.
• Omgeving: Ensure the device is installed in a dry environment, free from excessive dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. The IP20 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm, but no protection against water.
• Verbindingen: Controleer regelmatig de bedrading om er zeker van te zijn dat deze goed vastzit.
