VarioControl LINEARdrive 180D – 06/08/2013
4/6/24 A Full-Colour Dimmable LED Driver
LINEARdrive DC is a constant voltage LED driver with multiple LED outputs that are controlled over four channels. It is targeted at larger networked
and smaller standalone installations that require dimmable, low-power full-colour static or dynamic LED lighting. LINEARdrive DC is DMX/RDM
and LedSync compatible.
Applications
•Entertainment lighting
•Full-colour architectural lighting
•Signage/advertising lighting
•Cove lighting
•Decorative lighting
•Dynamic colour panel lighting

CAUTION: The device may only be connected and installed by a qualified electrician. All applicable regulations, legislation and build-
ing codes must be observed. Incorrect installation of the device can cause irreparable damage to the device and the connected LEDs.
12 V – 28 V DC IN
To connect the driver to a DC power supply unit (PSU), con-
nect the PSU’s positive voltage supply wire to the VDC+ con-
nector and the PSU’s negative voltage supply wire to the VDC-
connector.
EXT in
You have the possibility to connect an external control device
(0 – 10 V control device, 10 kΩpotentiometer or show selection
switch) to the driver’s Ext in+ and Ext in- connector. Configure
the driver for use with an external control device over the
3-button user interface.
DMX in/LedSync thru
Use these connectors when the driver is used in a DMX net-
work.
For DMX in, connect the network cable’s data+, data- and
shielding wire (the orange/white, orange and brown wire in a
CAT5 cable) to the DMX in+, DMX in- and DMX in shield con-
nector respectively.
For LedSync thru, connect the network cable’s data+, data-
and shielding wire (the orange/white, orange and brown wire
in a CAT5 cable) to the LedSync thru+, LedSync thru- and
LedSync shield connector respectively.
LED groups
Indicates the location of the connectors for your LED groups.
R(ed) represents channel 1, G(reen) represents channel 2,
B(lue) represents channel 3 and W(hite) represents channel 4.
The default group color allocation can be changed over the
3-button user interface.
