SAFETY INFORMATION
MEASUREMENTS
The CLS LDC-41 is a DMX controllable LED dimmer, which has 4 current controlled DC outputs. The
current can be adjusted in steps of 50mA from 350 to 1000mA per channel. Each channel can drive 1 to
15 LEDs in series. Equipped with 4 channels the LDC-41 is suitable for controlling the newest generation
of LED fixtures, RGBW or RGBA. This makes it possible to connect 2 to 12 RGB or even RGB(A/W) fixtures
on one driver. Unique is the DIN-rail mounting possibility of the new and small housing. The LDC-41 is
equipped with a user friendly menu structure, which offers some smart solutions for installers to test & set
up an installation.

Locate the “OUTPUT” connection block at the top of the LDC-41,
check information sticker on the side of the LDC-41. Connect the
fixture’s RED positive (+ or anode) to Channel 1 (R) of the LDC-41.
Repeat this step for the Green, Blue and/or White/Amber colour.
If all colours have separate negative (- or cathode) wires then tie
them together and connect to negative (-) power input of the
LDC-41. If all colours have a combined negative (- or cathode)
wire, connect to negative (-) power input of the LDC-41.
The LDC-41 can also control single colour LED fixture’s. You can
use the 4 output to create different zone’s that can be controlled
separately or simultaneously.
Locate the “INPUT” connection block at the top of the LDC-41, check information sticker on the side of
the LDC-41. Connect the positive (+) output of the power supply to positive (+) power input of the LDC-41.
Connect the negative (-) output of the power supply to the negative (-) power input of the LDC-41.
ATTENTION!
Make sure that NONE of the products you are working on,
are powered!

INSTALLATION

This section describes in general terms how to install the LDC-41. How to setup the menu, data link and
how to connect it to a fixture.

The LDC-41 has a unique feature, it is designed to be installed on a DIN-rail. Now it is possible to install
the LDC-41 directly next to the power supplies which are also suitable for DIN-rail mounting.
This helps to keep your installation work modular and fault proof.

The LDC-41 has two connections for DMX. Both DMX connections are input/output.
When using the LDC-41 with a DMX controller, other than the CLS Zense you can find the connection
method on the side of the LDC-41. When no UTP cable is used it is adviced to use the LD-serie gender
changer cable (art. 911465).
