PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CBU-PWM4-4-LR is a Bluetooth-controllable, Casambienabled four-channel PWM
dimmer for constant voltage LED loads, such as LED strips and constant voltage
LED modules. It is connected between a 12-24 VDC power supply and the constant
voltage LED load.
CBU-PWM4-4-LR can control up to four channels making it an ideal partner for
RGBW and tunable white (TW) applications. The maximum combined output current
is 4 A, which can be freely divided between all output channels. CBU-PWM4-4-LR
is protected against overvoltage, overcurrent and shortcircuit situations.
CBU-PWM4-4-LR can be controlled with the Casambi App, available for iOS and
Android devices, as well as with traditional wall switches. The Casambi App
can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store and Google Play
Store.
Different Casambi-enabled products can be used from a simple one-luminaire
direct control setup to a complete and full-featured lighting control system,
in which up to 250 units automatically form an intelligent mesh network.

RANGE
The range between two CBU-PWM4-4-LR units or between a CBU-PWM4-4-LR and a
smartphone can vary a lot depending on the design of a product in which the
antennas are housed and on the environment in which they operate. Long-range
capabilities can reach approximately 650 feet (200 meters) with a good line of
sight connection between nodes. However, if the unit is encapsulated in a
metal structure, the range can be only a few feet. Therefore, thorough testing
is highly recommended.
Casambi uses mesh network technology, which means that each CBU-PWM4-4-LR also
acts as a repeater. When testing the network, it is important to test that
each unit can be controlled from any point in the network-covered area.

*The wireless range of a Casambi unit is dependent on several factors; how it has been integrated into a luminaire, where it has been installed; taking into consideration surrounding obstacles such as walls and other building materials that may block signals.

CASAMBI MESH NETWORK COMPATIBILITY
There are different radio modes that can be selected when creating a network
in the Casambi App: Balanced’,Better Performance’ and now Long Range’ options. The CBU-PWM4-4-LR enables long-range capabilities only when the long- range radio mode has been selected and all the other devices within the network are long-range capable. It will revert to the shorter, standard range when deployed in networks set toBalanced’ or `Better Performance’ modes.
INSTALLATION
Make sure that the power supply voltage is switched off before making any
connections.
Connect a constant voltage 12-24 VDC Class 2 power supply to the input
connector. Make sure not to use a constant current LED driver and make sure
that the cable polarity is correct.
The product features one shared positive output connector (+), with each of
the four channels having its own negative connector (-). This configuration is
standard for multichannel LED strips. Connect the LED load wires accordingly.
Use 14-22 AWG solid or stranded conductor electrical wires. Strip the wire
1/4″ from the end. Open the screw connector on top of the dimmer case and
insert the wires into the corresponding terminals, tighten the screws.
Overtightening the screws may damage the device. Make sure to connect the
input and output correctly. If you install the dimmer in a heat-sensitive
environment (e.g. inside a luminaire or in a ceiling outlet box above a
luminaire), make sure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the
specified maximum value. Using the dimmer in a heat-sensitive environment may
limit the maximum output power.
The proper operation of CBU-PWM4-LR requires a carefully calculated total
power consumption, the correct choice of a constant voltage power supply, and
a suitable cross-section of the wires used in installation.

Taking into account power derating is critical for stable operation over the
designated temperature range. `Derating’ refers to the reduction of the output
power depending on the ambient conditions.
CBU-PWM4-4 is a UL Listed Open-Type device which means that it will have to be
used together with a Class 2 power supply with maximum output power of 100 VA.
The product can be installed outside of junction box. Make sure to comply with
National Electric Code in installation and when selecting installation wires.
Warning!
Using CBU-PWM4-4-LR with maximum load will make
!
it hot. Make sure to place the product in well-ventilated
space and away from any flammable material.
