Product description
The myTEM FT RGBW Modul is used for controlling and dimming 4-coloured LED
strips or 4-coloured LED bulbs. The LEDs are no longer switched directly via a
(possibly existing light) switch, but from the switch a signal is sent to the
Smart Server or the Radio Server, which in turn controls the FT RGBW Modul.
The programmable behav-ior allows therefore a flexible use in the house.
The myTEM FT RGBW Modul must be powered by a 24 VDC power supply and can
control a separately sup-plied 12 VDC or 24 VDC RGBW LED light. The device is
intended for installation in a flush-mounted box, e.g. di-rectly behind the
lights.
Applications:
- Switching of 4-coloured LED lights
- Dimming of LED lights
- Wiring according to the tree topology. Supply and communication each have four connection points for distribution to other devices. These push-in terminals can be pulled upwards for easy replacement of the device.
- Operation via the central server
Functions
- Supply voltage device 24 VDC with 4-pole push-in support terminals for further wiring. The device is working properly even if the supply voltage drops down to 10 VDC.
- Four dimmable, electronic MOSFET outputs (R / G / B / W) with 2 A per channel, i.e. 48 W per channel with a 24 VDC LED supply or 24 W per channel with a 12 VDC LED supply.
- Up to 50 FT devices can be connected per CFT bus.
- CFT bus with free wiring according to the tree topology as indicated in the picture below. The total length of the lines can be up to 500 m.
Installation
WARNING!
- Depending on national safety standards, only authorized and/or trained technicians may be al-lowed to make electrical installations on the power supply. Please inform yourself about the legal situation before installation.
- To avoid electrical shock and/or equipment damage, disconnect power to the main fuse or circuit breaker before installation or maintenance. Prevent the fuse from being accidentally switched on again and check that the system is de-energized.
- The device shall be connected according to the wiring diagram only. Covers of the flush-mounted boxes must comply with relevant safety standards.
- The electrical installation must be protected with a fuse of max. 10 A.
- The myTEM FT RGBW Modul should be installed in a flush-mounted box (wall, ceiling) in compli-ance with relevant national safety standards and with a depth of not less than 60 mm.
CAUTION! The myTEM FT RGBW Modul and the LED lighting should be placed
close to each other. The cross-section and cable length of the LED supply
should be dimensioned so that the voltage drop is lower than 1 Volt. A cable
with 1.5 mm² should therefore not exceed 5 m in length in order to be able to
use the maximum drive power.
Use a separate LED supply per FT RGBW Modul. To avoid ground loops, do not
connect its ground (GND) to the ground of the FT RGBW Modul.
WARNING! The maximum length of the cables on the output side must not
exceed 2 m. The myTEM FT RGBW Modul and the LED lighting should be placed
close to each other. The cross-section and cable length of the LED supply
should be dimensioned so that the voltage drop is lower than 1 Volt. A cable
with 1.5 mm² should therefore not exceed 5 m in length in order to be able to
use the maximum drive power. Use a separate LED supply per FT RGBW Modul. To
avoid ground loops, do not connect its ground (GND) to the ground of the FT
RGBW Modul.
WARNING! The maximum length of the cables on the output side must not exceed 2
m. Maximum loads must not exceed 2 A for each channel.
Please install the device according to the following steps:
- For your safety, switch off the mains voltage (break fuse) during installation. Make sure that wires are not short-circuited during and after installation, as this may damage the device.
- Connect the device according to the circuit diagram of the myTEM ProgTool or the terminal assignment from the picture below. Use solid wires (Ø0.8 mm) for sup-ply and communication, stripped by 5 to 6 mm. Insert the conductors until they hit the backstop. Use up to 2.5 mm² wires as LED supply, stripped by 6 mm. Con-nect the 1.0 mm² strands to your loads via terminals, using the orange strand as power supply for the LED lighting.
- Check the wiring and then push the device into the flush-mounted box.
- Switch on the mains voltage and include the device with the myTEM ProgTool in the server.
- Switch off the mains voltage and fit a cover over the flush-mounted box. When you switch the mains volt-age back on again is your device ready.
NOTE! To release a wire from the push-in terminal, hold it firmly and
pull it out of the terminal by simultaneously twisting it back and forth.
LED display
The LED next to wires may show the following states:
- LED flash-ing green: Device is connected to the FT Base Modul and is in normal operating mode
- LED green: Device gets network configurations from the FT Base Modul
- LED flash-ing blue: Device is identified using the myTEM ProgTool
- LED flash-ing green and red: Device started and connected to the FT Base Modul but not yet added to a Smart Server or Radio Server. (Re-quires an action in myTEM ProgTool.)
- LED red: Device started but has no connection to the FT Base Modul
- LED off: Device not powered, not started or broken.
Behavior after power failure
After a power failure, all outputs are switched off until the new settings are
received from the Smart Server or Radio Server
Quick trouble shooting
The following hints may help solving trouble:
- Make sure that the power supply is connected with the correct polarity. With wrong polarity the device does not start.
- Make sure that the voltage has not dropped below the allow operating voltage. The push-in terminals have openings (Test) for test probes.
- If a device cannot establish communication to the myTEM FT Base Modul, check if the CFT bus (C+/C–) is correctly wired and the ground ( / GND) is connected. A missing ground connection can affect communication.
