Output Connection

Deco Driver CV4 is designed to be used as a driver for Constant Voltage lighting fixtures. There are many fixtures a

Deco Driver can control . Each of the 24 output can be individually controlled and addressed to use the same or different

fixture per each output. The Deco Lighting fixture manual will give you the information with power link limitations and

control type for that unit.

Fixtures that require Strip Cable connection will not be able to use this driver

Fixtures that require RJ45 connection will connect the input cables to RJ45 Output.

Use Cat6 A AWG 26 or thicker cable for cable connection with RJ45 connections. Ca-

bles exceeding 100ft will have voltage drop. Voltage drop will result in intensity drop.
