ENTTEC’s CVC4 is a high precision 4 channel,
constant voltage (CV) LED dimmer, capable of
dimming up to 5A of LED tape per channel at 12-24v.
The CVC4’s key feature is it’s integration of ENTTEC’s
Pixelator family controller’s auto-addressing PLink
protocol. This is a time saving system designed to
allow users to simply chain one device to the next
using Cat6 cable up to 300m away, removing the
need to manually address each CVC4.
Alternatively use RDM to configure the start address
of each CVC4 (default channel 001) and control over
DMX. Another feature for the CVC4 is its ability to
convert DMX to PLink protocol, connect a Cat6 cable
to a CVC4 receiving DMX and the PLink protocol will
auto-address all consecutive CVC4 along the daisy
chain.
The CVC4 incorporates a user-serviceable blade fuse
to protect against short circuits and features the
ability to limit the output to reduce overheating.
With two DIP switches located on the CVC4, easily
switch between RGB/RGBW and 8-bit/16-bit modes1
.
The solid-state, fan-less design means the CVC4 is
virtually silent when in operation.

FEATURES:

Dimming capacity of up to 5A per channel.
12-24V input (20A maximum).
1KHz PWM signal refresh rate Support daisy chaining of ENTTEC’s autoaddressing P-Link Protocol over Cat6 cable.
DMX/RDM input through pluggable rising clamp
connector. RDM identification and addressing
functionality.
On board conversion from DMX to P-link.
Attachable TS-35 Din Rail mounting clip.
Status LED and DIP switch to toggle between
RGB/RGBW and 8-bit/16-bit operating modes. User-serviceable blade fuse to protect against
short circuits Passive cooling with internal overheating
protection.
Compact design with integrated 4mm surface
mounting holes.
