WIRING DIAGRAMS

Follow the steps below for product installation as shown in the connection diagram:

• Connect the positive of the LED load to the “L” terminal with the “+” symbol, instead the negatives of the LED load to the terminals “L1”, “L2”, “L3” and “L4” with the “-” symbol.
• Connect the N.O. push button to the “INPUT 1” and “INPUT 2″ terminals with the ” ” symbol. Be sure not to connect live parts to “INPUT” terminals.
• Connect a 12-24-48 Vdc constant voltage SELV power supply (properly sized power, depending on the technical characteristics of LED load) to the DC IN terminal block with the “+” and “-” symbols. Be sure not to use constant current LED Driver and check that the polarity of the cables is correct.

Like any other product with Bluetooth control, be sure not to place the product inside a metal case or placed near large metal structures. The metal will significantly obstruct the radio signal, which is crucial for the proper functioning of the device. OBSERVATION:
Depending on the type and size of the LED modules, it is possible to divide the LED load power supply on the 2 “L+” output terminals.

UNPAIR DEVICE FROM THE CASAMBI NETWORK

If the device is already connected to a network for which you don’t have the credentials and you wish to associate it with a new network, please follow the instructions provided in the Casambi APP’s “Nearby Devices” section.
Once you have selected the unpair function and started the procedure, turn off the main power of the power supply connected to the LINE-4CC-CASAMBI and turn it on again after 1 – 2 seconds.
If the main power supply is switched off and on again quickly, unpair may not be done properly. Repeat the unpair sequence by allowing 1 or 2 more seconds to elapse between the moment you turn off and re-turn on the main power of the power 6.
A second method to unpair the product is to connect an N.O. push button to an “INPUT” terminal of the LINE-4CC-CASAMBI and during the decoupling procedure press the button.

5 By default, the N.O. Push button is set as “Control a luminaire” and controls the output of the LINE-4CC-CASAMBI.
6 The discharge time of the power supply secondary depends on the construction characteristics of the power supply used.

OPERATING WINDOW

Ambient temperature [Ta]:
– provides a current up to 700mA, with a working temperature range of -10°C ÷ +60°C.
– provides a current up to 900mA, with a working temperature range of -10°C ÷ +45°C.
These maximum current values can be applied only under proper ventilation conditions.

FLICKER PERFORMANCE

Thanks to its 3,4kHz dimming frequency, the LINE-4CCCASAMBI effectively reduces the occurrence of the Flicker phenomenon. Depending on an individual’s sensitivity and the nature of their activities, flickering can impact one’s well-being, even if the changes in luminance are beyond the threshold detectable by the human eye.
The graph shows the phenomenon of Flickering in function at the frequency, measured throughout the dimming range.
The results show the low-risk zone (yellow) and the noeffect zone (green). Defined by IEEE 1789-2015 7.

• Maintenance must be performed only by a qualified electrician in compliance with current regulations. Pay attention when connecting the LEDs: polarity reversal results in no light output and often damages the LEDs.
• The product is designed and intended to operate LED loads only. Powering non-LED loads may push the product outside its specified design limits and is, therefore, not covered by any warranty. Operating conditions of the product may never exceed the specifications as per the product datasheet.
• The product must be installed inside a switchgear/controlgear cabinet and/or junction box protection against overvoltage.
• The product must be installed in a vertical or horizontal position with the label/top cover facing upwards or vertically. Other positions are not permitted. The bottom position is not permitted (label/top cover facing down).
• Keep separated 230Vac (LV) circuits and not SELV circuit from safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit and from any connection with this product. It is absolutely forbitten to connect, for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly, the 230Vac mains voltage to the product (terminal block of BUS included).
• The product must be dissipated correctly.
• The use of the product in harsh environments could limit the output power.
• For built-in components inside luminaires, the ta ambient temperature range is a guideline given for the optimum operating environment. However, integrator must always ensure proper thermal management (i.e. correct mounting of the device, air flow etc.) so that the tc point temperature does not exceed the tc maximum limit in any circumstance. Reliable operation and lifetime is only guaranteed if the maximum tc point temperature is not exceeded under the conditions of use.

POWER SUPPLY

• Only use SELV power supplies with limited current for device power supply, short circuit protection and the power must be dimensioned correctly.
  In the case of power supplies equipped with ground terminals, it is mandatory to connect ALL protective ground points (PE= Protection Earth) to a properly and certified protection earth.

• The connection cables between the very low voltage power source and the product must be properly dimensioned and must be insulated from any wiring or part at non-SELV voltage. Use double insulated cables.

• Dimension the power of the power supply in relation to the load connected to the device. In case the power supply is oversized compared to the maximum absorbed current, insert a protection against over-current between the power supply and the device.

• For the constant current output, the voltage of LED module (VF) must be less than the supply voltage of at least 5V.

COMMAND

• The length of the cables connecting between the local commands (N.O. Push button or other) and the product must be less than 10m. The cables must be properly dimensioned and must be insulated from any non-SELV wiring or voltage. It is recommended to use double insulated cables, if deemed appropriate also shielded.
• ALL device and control signal connected to the local command “N.O. Push button” with symbol, they must not supply any type of voltage.

OUTPUTS

• It is recommended a length of the connecting cables between the product and the LED module less than 10m. The cables must be properly dimensioned and must be insulated from any wiring or circuits at voltage not SELV. It is recommended to use double
  insulated cables. In case you want to use connecting cables between the product and the LED module greater than 10m, the installer must guarantee the correct operation of the system. In any case, the connection between the product and the LED module must not exceed 30m.

ONLY CASAMBI/BLUETOOTH PRODUCT

• WARNING: For optimal functionality of the Casambi signal, do not put the device into metal or aluminium boxes and do not shield the device. As any other Casambi product, should not be placed in a metal enclosure or next to large metal structures. Metal will effectively block all radio signals which are crucial to the operation of the product.

WARNINGS

• To guarantee the best performances and the full use of functions, make sure to download on your device the last release of CASAMBI APP.
• Whenever CASAMBI APP requires an upgrade of the profile installed in the LED Dimmers, follow the instruction to do it. This allows you to stay always up to date and benefit of new functions released.
• Functionality test are done on all dimmers to ensure the right working. In case the device is still paired to “Dalcnet network”, you are asked to unpair it by following the instructions on CASAMBI APP and in paragraph “UNPAIR DEVICE FROM THE CASAMBI  NETWORK”.
