Incorrect installation or use can cause serious damage to people and/or property.
1.0.2 – Power
The DCV is designed with two common positive terminals, the 72W load should be spread across these terminals evenly to ensure the phoenix connector do not burn out.
1.0.3 – IP Rating
The DCV is IP20 rated and must be used indoors and in a dry environment.
2.0 – Installation
2.0.1 – Location
Please ensure the DCV is installed in a cool dry place, operated by qualified people and always make sure cables are not taut once installed.
2.0.2 – Fixings
The DCV requires 2 securely mounted screws to mount it to a stable surface. We recommend using wall plugs for extra security. Items damaged by improper installation are not covered under the warranty.
2.0.3 – Power
The DCV requires a 240V AC connection with the IEC provided. Please ensure this is pushed in fully to avoid arcing. Please also ensure the power cable is not taut and has not been damaged during transit.
2.0.4 – Data
2.0.4.1 - DMX
When connecting the data to a DCV, it is recommended that you use professional DMX cable to avoid any signal issues. It is also recommended that the DMX chain is correctly terminated to avoid data issues such as signal reflection.
2.0.4.2 - Connectors
Please use the Phoenix terminals provided to connect the DMX. If the terminals are misplaced, please replace them with genuine Phoenix connectors. For more info call 01603 295 011.
2.0.5 – LED Connections
2.0.5.1 – Correct Procedure
When connecting Your LED tape to the DCV please ensure the LED tape matches the voltage of the DCV, the standard voltage for a DCV is 24V DC.
Please ensure you are connecting the correct terminals to the correct wires on the LED tape, wiring the tape incorrectly can damage both pieces of equipment.
The common positive load should be split across the two common terminals on the DCV72 to avoid damaging the connector. You can connect a maximum of 36W per common terminal.
2.0.5.2 – Short Circuit Error
The short circuit error tells the user if a fault develops. This can be either:
1) Current overload. This is when a user has overloaded the DCV by connecting more than
300W of lighting. This may only occur at certain points when the fixture is pulling its maximum wattage.
2) Short Circuit. This can occur when the tape is wired incorrectly or if the tape is short
circuiting because its damaged or faulty. Another common cause of this is when the tails at one end of the tape are touching and creating a short circuit.
