DMX2CC 6ch/12ch
Device Overview
DMX2CC dimmers can control high-power LED fixtures by a DMX signal using
linear current dimming. They are designed for use with both high-power 1W
and 3W LED fixtures. The two versions 6CH and 12CH provide control over 6 or
12 individual channels, which allows control of 2 or 4 high-power RGB triplets,
respectively.
A DMX repeater, which amplifies the DMX signal, allows convenient daisy
chaining. DMX2CC dimmers can be interconnected to control larger installations
with one DMX signal. Within a DMX network, connected high-power LED fixtures
can be controlled by a central DMX controller (such as e:cue Engines or the e:cue
Light-Drive Elite).
Due to DMX2CC’s unique dimming technology, these dimmers (LED drivers)
provide very smooth flicker-freee dimming great electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC), which is perfect for TV studio or healthcare lighting applications.
Key Features
• Standard DMX512 control of 1 W or 3 W LEDs with DMX auto and manual
addressing
• Flicker-free smooth fade control with continuous current output
• Up to 12 LEDs per channel
• LDC menu for manual control

Safety instructions
Any usage other than described in this manual is not permitted,
can damage the device and lead to associated risks such as short-
circuit, fire or electric shock. If not otherwise noted, no part of
the product may be modified or rebuilt.
DMX2CC 6CH / 12CH ports must not be hot plugged. Especially in
larger LED matrix systems voltage potential differences in different
parts of the system may damage ports when hot plugging.
Therefore always turn off fixture supplies before connecting or
disconnecting.
Disconnect power before installing, wiring or servicing. Do not
use the unit, if power cables are damaged. Do not install or use
the unit, until you have read and understood the installation
instructions and safety labels.
Actions described in this manual and device repairs may only be
performed with special care by skilled personnel.
Only use the device in compliance with the environmental
conditions specified in the data sheet.

Hardware installation
Mounting
The DMX2CC driver is designed to snap onto a standard DIN rail for installation
in a wall mount enclosure. LED-wiring connections are made using pluggable
screw terminals, the DC Power In connections are made using the captive screws
and the RJ-45 DMX512 input/output positioned along the top, clearly accessible
from the front for easy installation and servicing.
When installed in an enclosure utilizing 45 mm cutouts, the front panel LCD of
the DMX2CC driver stays visible while the connections are concealed.
For proper installation and subsequent operation of each unit, pay special
attention to the following recommendations:
1. Upon unpacking the product, inspect the contents of the carton for
shipping damages. Do not install damaged units.
2. Ensure proper ventilation of each unit and avoid areas where corrosion,
deteriorating or explosive vapors, fumes or gases may be present. Each
unit must be oriented with the power-in terminal block and DMX data
connectors towards the top to permit proper heat dissipation.
3. Allow for proper distance of unit enclosure and wiring terminals for easy
access, hardware configuration and maintenance.
4. Ensure that the unit is securely attached, properly mounted, and free of
excessive vibration.
5. Avoid touching the surface of the housing during operation; power down
the unit and allow it to cool down before touching the housing.
6. The unit must be mounted on a DIN Rail profile: Make sure that the DIN
Rail is properly mounted on the wall. Simply clip the unit onto the DIN
Rail.

LED Wirings Test
The DMX2CC has a unique algorithm for detecting load type and wrong LED
connections. It can detect if the LED’s (+) and (-) lines are having a short circuit
between them or mixed connection with a neighbour channel inside the
terminal plug. If the device detects an incorrect wiring on one of the outputs,
that group of channels will not be operational until the problem is fixed.
Auto Load Detection
Each channel of the DMX2CC is capable of auto-detecting the LED load type
connected to it and selecting the appropriate operating mode to control that
load.
DRTP – Driver Thermal Protection
The DMX2CC has internal temperature sensor which allows it to monitor the
temperature of the internal power circuitry. If for any reason external ambient
temperature rises above the permitted limit, the device will not let the internal
circuitry to overheat by reducing the output power. By doing so, it’s avoiding
Driver malfunction caused by overheating, still driving the LEDs even at worst
conditions and preserving the DMX2CC’s lifetime.
