Agrowtek DXV4 User guide

  • Hello, I've reviewed the AGROWtEK user guide for the DXV4 dimming module. This document provides instructions on mounting, connecting, and configuring the device for lighting dimming. The module features DIN rail mounting, multiple outputs for light fixtures, and compatibility with RJ-11, RJ-12 and RJ-45 connectors. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about it.
  • What type of mounting is supported?
    What kind of output signal the module provides?
    How many light fixtures can each channel drive?
    What type of connectors are used for dimming?

Mounting the Module
NOTICE: Perform connections with power disconnected from xtures and with the RJ-45 connection removed.
1. Common DC ground terminals for connections.
2. Sinking/Sourcing DC outputs for driving lighting dim-
ming controls and other equipment with a 0-10Vdc analog
control signal. Each channel is capable of driving up to 50
light xtures (50mA max. per channel.)

If 6-wire cable, do not use outer wires.
DX series modules are designed for DIN rail mounting in
electrical control cabinets and should be enclosed due to
the exposed terminal design. If DIN rail is not available,
brackets include mounting holes for surface mounting.
Terminals
1. Connect ballast negative (-) dimming lead to GND.
2. Connect ballast positive (+) dimming lead to one of the four output channels (OUT1 - OUT 4.)
Typical connections for most industry standard xtures are shown in the diagrams below.
Connections
Always conrm wiring and polarity are correct according to the xture manufacturer’s documentation.
Shown wired to output channel #2. Shown wired to output channel #3.
NOTE: Be sure to set the light xtures into their external dimming conguration (see operation manual.)
