Wiring Diagrams
Use this wiring guide along with the 8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer Installation Guide for installation.
Figure 1: Wiring in Control4 Panel
This diagram illustrates the wiring connections for the Control4 8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer within a Control4 Panel.
Key components shown:
- Distribution (breaker) Panel: The main power distribution point.
- Control4 8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer: The central device for dimming control.
- Override Switch: For manual control or overrides.
- Terminal Blocks: Labeled for "Aux Override In", "Aux Override Out", "Line In", "Line Out", "Neutral In", "Neutral Out", and "Ground".
- Ethernet Port: For network connectivity.
- 0-10V Terminal Block: Channels 1 through 8 for 0-10V dimming control.
- External Relay: Depicted as a Leviton OSP20-0D0, used for on/off control of lights, connected to "Line Power".
Notes:
- Many 0-10V lights require separate on/off control. This can be achieved by wiring on/off leads from the light to a Control4 Relay Module or by using an external relay connected to the dimmer's terminals.
- The diagram shows connections to other Ethernet switches or 0-10V modules. It explicitly states: "Do not use to power dimmer modules or relay modules."
Figure 2: Wiring in Standard DIN Rail Panel
This diagram shows the wiring of the Control4 8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer module when mounted in a standard DIN Rail Panel.
The module is labeled with channel indicators (CH1-CH8), status lights (Link/Activity, Reset), and control functions (Module Override).
It features:
- Ethernet Port: For network connection.
- 0-10V Terminal Block: Channels 1-8 for dimming control.
- External Relay Terminal Block: Labeled "In" and "Out", used for connecting an external relay for on/off control.
- Aux In / Aux Out: Auxiliary connection terminals.
- Power Input: Rated for 100-277V~, 50/60 HZ, 0.1A.
The diagram illustrates two scenarios for on/off control:
- To Control4 Relay Module for on/off control: Shows wiring from the dimmer to a Control4 Relay Module.
- No separate on/off control: Indicates a configuration where separate on/off control is not required or managed differently.
It also shows the connection to "Line Power" via an "External Relay" (e.g., Leviton OSP20-0D0), with a reference to specific relay documentation for wiring details.
Connections to a "Distribution (breaker) Panel" are also depicted.
Important Notes
IMPORTANT! The wire colors shown in Figures 1 and 2 and in the 'Diagrams Color Code' table are examples only. Actual wire colors differ by country and/or voltage.
