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 2 to 12 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 and set up an
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.
Mounting
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.
Use a power supply with an output voltage which is compatible with the LED fixtures you are using. To
choose the correct power supply use the two tables below.
Keep in mind that the table is determined with an equal load on all 4 outputs. For example 6 LEDs means
6 LEDs on all 4 outputs.
* The number of fixtures is divided in 3 catagories, total = total amount of fixtures on the driver,
minimum = miminum amount of fixtures per channel, maximum = maximum amount of fixtures per
channel. With RGB (A/W) fixtures total is not used because per fixture all channels are used.
INSTALLATION
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.
Connect LED fixture
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.
ATTENTION!
Make sure that none of the products you are working on,
are powered!

The LDC-41 has a display which is used to interface with the user. When the LDC-41 is powered the DMX
address is showed. When DMX is active the DMX status dot is on.
By pressing the menu button you can scroll through the different status pages.
The status pages dots will indicate which page is displayed. The status pages will show the output value of
the outputs 1-4 from 0 (min) to 255 (max).

Menu description
When the LDC-41 is powered the status display is
shown with the DMX address. To enter the menu
press and hold the menu button for 3 seconds.
The LDC-41 will enter menu interface on page 1.
The menu interface holds different pages. Use the
up and down button to scroll through the pages.
To select the page press the menu button. In each
page the settings can be adjusted. To leave a page
press the menu button again.
CONFIGURATION
The LDC-41 must be configured to fit the application it is used for. To make configuration easy the
LDC-41 has a user friendly menu interface.
The LDC-41 has two connections for DMX. Both DMX connections are input/output.
When using the LDC-41 is combination with the CLS Zense DMX controller, you can simply connect the
two devices with a standard RJ45 (UTP) cable. There is no need for a external power supply for the Zense,
the LDC-41 supplies the Zense with power through the RJ45 connection.
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).

configuration of the LDC-41. With the
channel configuration you can configure how
the outputs respond to the DMX channels. Use
the up and down button to adjust the value.
When Channel configuration is selected press
the menu button to return to the main menu.
DMX channel n is the DMX address of the LDC-
41.
Option 1: All 4 outputs respond to DMX
channel n. This option can be used for single
colour applications.
Option 2: The first 2 channels respond to DMX
channel n and last 2 channels respond to DMX
channel n+1. This can be used for 2 zones
single colour applications.
Option 3: The first 3 channels respond to
separate DMX channels n and last 2 channels
respond to DMX channel n+1. This can be used
for 3 zones single colour applications.
Option 4: All 4 outputs respond to separate
DMX channels. This option can be used for
RGB(A/W) applications.

The master dimmer channel will be added after the
last DMX channel used to control the outputs of
the LDC-41. Use the up and down button to adjust
the value. When Channel configuration is selected
press the menu button to return to the main menu.
