Setting up the
QolorFLEX
®
4x10A
Dimmer
Installation
Install the
QolorFLEX 4x10A
Dimmer in a suitable location, following the instructions below.
Power Connections
Connect 100 - 240VAC power to the Dimmer using the front facing power input. The Input power
is fed to an internal power supply that is protected by the 10A T 250V fuse located next to the
power input
.
Dimmer Output Connections
The four dimmer channels are labeled “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D”. Each channel supports up to two
load outputs. If the
QolorFLEX
4x10A
Dimmer has terminal blocks, cVDC to the + (plus)
Terminal
,
and – (minus) VDC to the – Terminal. These terminals will accommodate up to 14
AWG / 1.5mm
2
wire.
Overcurrent Protection
The
QolorFLEX 4x10A
Dimmer is provided with an external 10A 250V fuse for AC input
protection. This fuse is user serviceable. Each dimmer output is provided with fuseless hardware-
based overcurrent protection that functions automatically when an overcurrent condition exists.
When overload condition is removed, normal operation resumes.
DMX512 Input / Output / Termination
This is a PLASA/ANSI compliant DMX512-A Input / Output. The
QolorFLEX
4x10A
Dimmer
supports
five
-pin XLR DMX512-A input as well as RJ-45 input which is a lower cost alternative to
DMX cable. Once connected, the DMX start address can be changed using the three rotary
switches on the front panel of the unit. A single position DIP switch is provided as a DMX
termination switch if the unit is at the end of the DMX line. The Termination switch is located at
the far right of the DMX Address DIP Switch array and is marked “T”. Only one DMX input and
one DMX output per
4x10A
is permitted.
0-10V Input
The
QolorFLEX
4x10A
Dimmer supports 0-10V input control. If your 0-10V control supplies
voltage, leave
the 10V DIP switch in the OFF position. Otherwise put the DIP switch in the ON
position so the
QolorFLEX
4x10A
Dimmer supplies the current to your device. This device is set
so the highest input level
takes precedence to control the output on the load. Make sure to leave
the 10V DIP switch in
the
off position if you are not using this function. Otherwise your load will
be set to maximum
because there will be nothing pulling down the current being supplied on the
0-10V screw
terminals.
User interface
The
QolorFLEX
4x10A
Dimmer is provided with a set of switches and LED indicators for
configuration and status monitoring:
