Description
CBU-DCS is a Bluetooth controllable, Casambi enabled LED driver controller. It is designed to be used with ANSI C137.4 compatible products, such as Philips Advance Xitanium SR LED drivers and OSRAM LED drivers with DEXAL™ technology. CBU-DCS does not have its own power supply. Instead, it is powered directly from the LED driver’s control interface. ANSI C137.4 compliant drivers combine DALI communication with an integrated DALI power supply. CBU-DCS together with other Casambi enabled products can be used from a simple one luminaire direct control to a complete and full-featured light control system where up to 127 units (Classic) or 250 units (Evolution) form automatically an intelligent mesh network. The Casambi system can be controlled with the Casambi app which can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Other controlling methods are, for example, timers, Casambi enable sensors, such as PIR/occupancy and lux sensors, as well as Casambi Xpress and EnOcean switches.

Range
The range between two CBU-DCS units or between a CBU-DCS and a smartphone can
vary a lot depending on obstacles and surrounding material. In open-air, the
range between two CBU-DCSs is 200 ft, but surroundings may affect the range,
so testing is highly recommended. Casambi uses mesh network technology so each
CBU-DCS acts
also as a repeater. When testing the network, it is important to test that
each unit can be controlled from any point of the network-covered area.
Compatible devices:
iPhone 4S or later.
iPad 3 or later.
iPod Touch 5th gen or later.
Android 4.4 or later devices.
produced after 2013 with full BT 4.0 support.
Casambi uses mesh network technology so each CBU-DCS acts also as a repeater. Longer ranges can be achieved by using multiple Casambi units.
- Range is highly dependant on the surroundings and obstacles, such as walls and building materials.
Installation
CBU-DCS must be powered only from the control interface of an ANSI C137.4
compatible device. Do not use a regular DC power supply since it will cause
permanent damage to the CBU-DCS. The product can be installed outside of a
junction box. Use 16-20 AWG (0,5-1,5 mm 2 ) solid or stranded conductor
electrical wires. Strip the wire .25” (6-8 mm) from the end. Press the buttons
on top of the dimmer case and insert the wires into the corresponding holes.
The polarity of DA1 and DA2 does not matter.
CBU-DCS has two sets of connectors. These connectors are internally connected
in parallel with each other. This way the control bus can be routed through
the product for easy installation. Up to four LED drivers can be connected in
parallel to one CBU-DCS. Connecting more than four drivers may cause permanent
damage to the device.

Compliance Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Radiation Exposure Statement for FCC
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits for an uncontrolled
environment. This device shall be installed and operated with a minimum
distance of 0.8” (2cm) between users or bystanders and the device.
FCC Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Radiation Exposure Statement for Canada
This device complies with Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSS.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause interference
- This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
This equipment is exempt from the routine RF exposure evaluation requirements of RSS-102. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the antenna and the user or bystanders. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables
