1. Connect the QolorFLEX™ 4x5A DINrail Dimmer to your DMX controller using the D1+, D1-, and Ground terminals on

the DMX input/output terminal block. As needed, DMX out connections can be made using the D2+, D2-, and Ground

terminals.

2. Connect your load to the output channel spring terminals. For single color LED tape with two connection wires, connect

the V- (black) wire to any one of the four output channel terminals and the V+ (red) wire to its corresponding terminal.

When using multi-color LED Tape, connect as follows: CH1-red, CH2 -green, CH3 -blue, and CH4 -fourth color. 

Note*-

The V+

 

(common) circuit for multicolor tape will be connected to either a black or white wire.

 

To determine which

is

 

correct, look at one of the sets of contacts on the tape itself and note which color wire is connected to the one

labeled (+). 

 Do not exceed

 

the maximum load capacity of 

5

A per channel.

3. Connect the appropriate power supply providing 12-24VDC to the power input spring terminals. 

Note*-The size of the

power supply must match the tape being used in both voltage and watts.

 

QolorFLEX™ 4x5A DINrail Dimmer's

maximum output power

 

rating is:  240W (12V), 

and 

480W(24V)

The QolorFLEX 4x5A DINrail Dimmer can control a full 

20A of LED tape spread over four channels of 5A 

each. It uses constant voltage technology which 

ensures consistent full range dimming that is especially 

important at low end light levels. The unit mounts to a 

standard hat section DINrail, and has terminal blocks 

for all electrical and data connections.

An easy to read onboard display and four button user 

interface allow selection of 

Modes, 

DMX addresses, 

setting quantity of DMX channels, selecting 8 or 16 bit 

output resolution, setting PWM frequency (500Hz to 

30KHz), setting output dimming curve values for 

matching the 

dimming curves of other dimmers in use,

and setting the device’s operating profile.

 

The 

QolorFLEX 4x5A DINrail Dimmer is also

 RDM 

capable. 

Both DMX and Standalone Modes are 

available depending on your application. 

The unit 

requires a separate power supply providing input 

voltage of 12-24VDC. The maximum current load per 

channel is 5A with a maximum device output of 20A.

The 

QolorFLEX

 

4x5A DINrail Dimmer 

operates 

perfectly with City Theatrical’s QolorFLEX LED tape, 

the LED tape of professionals on Broadway, network 

television, and architectural lighting installations.
