Identificarea produsului:
This image displays various Casambi control modules. The top-left module is the PWM4 Single Color Dimming Controller, identifiable by its 'INPUT 12-24 VDC' and 'OUTPUT 12-24 VDC Max. 6 A total' labels. The other modules are a CBU-ASR 2ch 0-10V controller (top-right), a CBU-A2D 2ch 0-10V/DALI controller (bottom-left), and a general Casambi connector module (bottom-right).
Instrucțiuni de cablare:
The PWM4 controller features screw terminals for secure connections. Refer to the top-left module in the image above for terminal locations.
- Power Input (INPUT 12-24 VDC): Connect your 12-24 VDC power supply to the input terminals. Ensure correct polarity: connect the positive (+) terminal of the power supply to the '+' terminal on the controller, and the negative (-) terminal of the power supply to the '-' terminal on the controller.
- LED Output (OUTPUT 12-24 VDC): Connect your single-color LED load to the output terminals. The PWM4 has four output terminals (1, 2, 3, 4) which are internally connected to provide a single dimming channel. Connect the positive (+) wire of your LED load to any of the output terminals (1, 2, 3, or 4) and the negative (-) wire of your LED load to the common negative output terminal (often marked with a line or a common symbol, or simply connect to the negative input terminal if the output is shared common negative). Ensure the total current draw of your LED load does not exceed 6 A.
- Conexiuni sigure: Tighten all screw terminals firmly to prevent loose connections.
Initial Pairing with Casambi App:
- Pornire: After wiring, apply power to the PWM4 controller. The connected LEDs should illuminate.
- Descărcați aplicația: Download the Casambi app from the Apple App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android).
- Deschide aplicatia: Launch the Casambi app on your smartphone or tablet.
- Adăugați dispozitiv: The app will automatically detect nearby Casambi devices. Select the PWM4 from the list of unconfigured devices.
- Configurați: Follow the in-app instructions to add the device to your network, assign it to a fixture, and configure its dimming behavior.
4. Instrucțiuni de utilizare
The Casambi PWM4 is primarily controlled through the Casambi app, which offers a wide range of functionalities for managing your lighting.
Using the Casambi App:
- intensității luminoase: Use the slider controls within the app to adjust the brightness of the connected LED lights.
- Scene: Create and save custom lighting scenes (e.g., 'Bright', 'Relax', 'Night Light') with specific brightness levels.
- Animații: Program dynamic lighting effects or sequences.
- Timers & Schedules: Set up automated on/off times or scene activations based on time of day or astronomical clock.
- Galeriile: Organize your lighting fixtures into groups for simultaneous control.
- Comutatoare: Pair the PWM4 with Casambi-compatible wireless switches for physical control.
5. Întreținere
The Casambi PWM4 controller is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, general care can help ensure its longevity.
- curatenie: Dacă este necesar, ștergeți ușor dispozitivul cu o lavetă uscată și moale. Nu utilizați agenți de curățare lichizi sau solvenți.
- Mediu: Ensure the device is installed in a dry environment, free from excessive dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. The IP20 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm, but no protection against water.
- Conexiuni: Periodically check wiring connections to ensure they remain secure.
6. Depanare
If you encounter issues with your PWM4 controller, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problemă | Cauza posibila | Soluţie |
|---|---|---|
| LEDs do not turn on. | No power to controller; incorrect wiring; faulty LED load. | Verificați conexiunea sursei de alimentare și volumultage. Verify input and output wiring polarity. Test LED load separately. |
| Cannot find device in Casambi app. | Device not powered; out of Bluetooth range; app issue. | Ensure controller is powered. Move closer to the device. Restart the Casambi app or your mobile device. |
| LEDs flicker or dim erratically. | Overload; unstable power supply; loose connections. | Ensure total LED load does not exceed 6 A. Verify power supply stability. Check all wiring connections. |
| Dispozitivul se deconectează frecvent. | Interference; weak Bluetooth signal. | Reduce distance between controller and controlling device. Minimize sources of wireless interference. |
