12V Sensor By-pass

Once the Deco Drive CV4 receives a DC 12V input signal all dimmer channels will go to a full position and by pass DMX Control. Once 12V signal is removed the DMX Control will be reengaged.

Output Connection

Deco Driver CV4 is designed to be used as a driver for Constant Voltage lighting fixtures. There are many fixtures a Deco Driver can control . Each of the 4 output can be individually controlled and addressed to use the same or different fixture per each output. The Deco Lighting fixture manual will give you the information with power link limitations and control type for that unit.
Fixtures that require Strip Cable connection will connect the input cables via 5Pin Screw terminal.

Use 20AWG cable or thicker for connections. Cables exceeding 100ft will have voltage drop. Voltage drop will result in intensity drop.

Fixtures that require RJ45 connection will connect the input cables to RJ45 Output.

Use Cat6 A AWG 24 or thicker cable for cable connection with RJ45 connections. Cables exceeding 100ft will have voltage drop. Voltage drop will result in intensity drop.
