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 24 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 not be able to use this driver
Fixtures that require RJ45 connection will connect the input cables to RJ45 Output.

Use Cat6 A AWG 26 or thicker cable for cable connection with RJ45 connections. Cables exceeding 100ft will have voltage drop. Voltage drop will result in intensity drop.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Installation Maintenance: The operator has to make sure that the unit is operating safely and has the installations and electronics checked by an expert every 2 years.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:

  1. All screws used for installing the device or part of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.
  2.  There must not be any deformations on the housing, fixation and installation spots (rack, suspension, trussing).
  3.  The electronic power supply cables must not show any damages, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables) or sediments. Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed.
  4. Ventilation ports must be clear of any debris.
  5.  Inner ventilation power supply must be clear of any debris

Rigging the Fixture

Caution!

  1. The installation must be carried out by an authorized dealer or trained professional.
  2. Unit may cause severe injures if you have doubts concerning the safety do not install.
  3. Unit is to be 24inches away from flammable materials (decoration material)
  4. Installation location must have adequate air flow.

When rigging a unit it is very important that you follow common safety procedures. Rigging requires extensive experi-ence including but not limited to calculating working loads, material being used and periodic safety inspections. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, instead use a professional structural rigger.
When rigging the unit always be secured with a secondary safety attachment. The installation location of the Fixture has got to be built in the way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any failures. Installation should be checked at least one time a year by a skilled person.
