PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The LINE-4CC-CASAMBI is a 4-channel output dimmer LED, controllable via
Bluetooth thanks to the Casambi APP or locally through two normally open
buttons.
The dimmer LED is suitable for driving loads such as Spot-Light and LED
modules, White, monochromatic colour, Dynamic White, RGB and RGB+W at constant
current. You can connect a power supply at 12-24-48 Vdc.
The maximum value of the output current is from 150mA and 900mA.
The dimmer LED has the following protections: over-power protection, under-
power protection, reverse polarity protection and input fuse protection.
The LINE-4CC-CASAMBI enables you to make not only simple brightness
adjustments but also more intricate lighting control systems. This is made
possible through the creation of multiple scenarios, animations, timers,
daylight controls, and more.
The CASAMBI APP can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store and the
Google Play Store.

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.
CURRENT OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
The LINE 4CC CASAMBI allows to set the maximum current of its 4 output
channels, via CASAMBI APP.
As it is possible to see from the following graphs, once established which
type of load it wants to connect to the product, whether: White, Dynamic
White, RGB or RGB+W. It is possible to load the desired Fixture with the most
appropriate current ranfe for the technical characteristics of the load and
set the maximum current that can be supplied by the device according to how
the system has been configured.

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).

- 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”.
