0-10V Ramp Timer
Instructions
What’s Included:
1 - Ramp Timer LED Controller
1 - Wireless LED Remote Control
1 - 12VDC Power Supply
2 - 3-way Splitters
2 - 36” DC Extension Cables
Important Note:
This 0-10V Ramp Timer is designed for use with Ecoxotic LED products which use a dim-
mable LED driver that accepts a 0-10V dimming signal (such as our Cannon LED pendants.)
Most drivers accept this dimming signal between 1-10V (with 1V=10%, 10V=100%) and there-
fore cannot be dimmed below a 10% intensity. To shut the light completely off, power must
be shut off on the AC side of the driver (either by a standard wall timer or power circuit timer.)
The Ramp Timer can be kept plugged in at all times for 24-hour ramp/dimming and intensity
control.
We recommend not exceeding 6 dimmable LED drivers to be connected to the 0-10V Ramp
Timer, 3 LED drivers per channel.
Warning: This product must be installed by a licensed electrician
Before beginning any work on the electrical installation, be sure that the main breaker
panel is “OFF” to avoid any danger of electrical shock. All mounting of the unit must
be completed before proceeding with electrical hook-up. Where required by local,
state or National Electric Codes the circuit should be equipped with a ground fault
interrupter. As with any electric applicance, failure to electrically ground unit may
result in serious injury or death.

Installation Instructions
The below diagram is a basic guideline for connecting up to 6 dimmable LED drivers to the 0-10V Ramp Timer. If your
LED lighting system consists of two color spectrums (white and blue), we recommend connecting the dimmable LED
drivers for the blue spectrum lights to Channel 1, the dimmable driver for the white spectrum lights to Channel 2.
If using less than 6 units, we recommend not exceeding 3 drivers per channel. The drivers/lights can be installed on either channel.
It is not necessary to use both channels on the 0-10V Ramp Timer.
Please follow the steps on the following pages for detailed installation and programming.

0-10V Ramp Timer
Instructions
1. Install Cannon LED pendants using swivel brackets or hanging kit included with each unit.
2. Mount LED drivers on wall or in a ventilated waterproof enclosure away from direct contact from moisture and/or
water. Connect LED driver to Cannon LED pendant and AC power per the instructions included with each unit.
3. If required, connect dimming cable to Female DC plug included with the driver. Note: Female DC plug is labeled with + and -
terminals and on some units may be pre-installed.
If using a Meanwell LED driver, dimming cables are as follows:
Blue = + (Dim +)
White = - (Dim -)
If using an Inventronic LED driver, dimming cables are as follows:
Yellow = NOT USED
Purple = = (Dim +)
Green = - (Dim -)
NOTE: When using multiple LED drivers, we recommend following the wiring diagram located on Page 3 as
a guideline. Please remember, we do not recommend exceeding three (3) dimmable LED drivers be located on a
single channel. Additional detailed wiring diagrams for different drivers can be found on the following page.
4. Locate controller location near LED drivers or in a location away from direct contact from moisture and/or water.
5. Connect the 12VDC transformer to the female DC plug on the Ramp Timer. Plug 12VDC power supply into a GFCI
approved outlet where power will be kept on 24 hours per day.
6. Connect the male DC plug of Channel 1 or Channel 2 to either a 3-way splitter or directly to Female
DC dimming plug. If using two different color spectrum Cannon LED pendants, we recommend keeping one spectrum
(such as blue) on Channel 1, the other spectrum (such as white) on Channel 2. It is not required to use both Channels
(you will only need to program one.) Please note, 36” extension cables are also included for longer length installations.
Additional extension cables are available (sold separately.)
7. Ensure all cables and connectors are clear of any moisture or water and do not hang or submerge into
the water at any location or point.
8. Remove the plastic wrap from the remote control and remove the clear plastic tab located at the bottom of the
remote to connect the battery. Point remote at the LED controller and press the On/Off red button on the remote
(top right hand corner.) Controller will now be turned on as indicated by the LCD display. Follow instructions on page
for programming.
