- Kuyika kuyenera kuchitidwa ndi katswiri wamagetsi.
- Observe all local electrical codes and regulations.
- Do not exceed the maximum current rating of 6 A.
Kuzindikiritsa Zamalonda:
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).
Malangizo pa Wiring:
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.
- Malumikizidwe Otetezedwa: Tighten all screw terminals firmly to prevent loose connections.
Initial Pairing with Casambi App:
- Yatsani: After wiring, apply power to the PWM4 controller. The connected LEDs should illuminate.
- Tsitsani App: Download the Casambi app from the Apple App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android).
- Tsegulani Pulogalamu: Launch the Casambi app on your smartphone or tablet.
- Onjezani Chipangizo: The app will automatically detect nearby Casambi devices. Select the PWM4 from the list of unconfigured devices.
- Konzani: Follow the in-app instructions to add the device to your network, assign it to a fixture, and configure its dimming behavior.
4. Malangizo Ogwiritsira Ntchito
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:
- Kuchepetsa: Use the slider controls within the app to adjust the brightness of the connected LED lights.
- Zochitika: Create and save custom lighting scenes (e.g., 'Bright', 'Relax', 'Night Light') with specific brightness levels.
- Animations: Program dynamic lighting effects or sequences.
- Nthawi ndi Madongosolo: Set up automated on/off times or scene activations based on time of day or astronomical clock.
- Zithunzi: Organize your lighting fixtures into groups for simultaneous control.
- Masinthidwe: Pair the PWM4 with Casambi-compatible wireless switches for physical control.
5. Kusamalira
The Casambi PWM4 controller is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, general care can help ensure its longevity.
- Kuyeretsa: If necessary, gently wipe the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Chilengedwe: 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.
- Kulumikizana: Nthawi ndi nthawi yang'anani maulalo a mawaya kuti muwonetsetse kuti amakhala otetezeka.
6. Mavuto
If you encounter issues with your PWM4 controller, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Vuto | Chifukwa Chotheka | Yankho |
|---|---|---|
| LEDs do not turn on. | No power to controller; incorrect wiring; faulty LED load. | Check power supply connection and voltage. 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. |
| Device disconnects frequently. | Interference; weak Bluetooth signal. | Reduce distance between controller and controlling device. Minimize sources of wireless interference. |
