3 General device description
LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi fuses dynamic lighting control with a sophisticated design. The wall-mounted user
terminal is able to output various scenes and eects in dierent zones which are set-up via the
LIGHTDRIVE+ app. No matter what kind of location you have in mind: bars and restaurants, shops and malls,
museums, reception areas ... For any purpose of any scale, be it small or mid-size, LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi is the
easy and straightforward solution for lighting control. The user terminal serves as a standalone DMX512
controller. The focal point of user interaction is the so called Jog Wheel. With this control knob, scenes,
zones and eects, such as speed and brightness, can be adjusted in a blink of an eye. The user terminal itself
shows a clear and minimalistic design with a high quality glass front panel. LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi is compatible
with all monochrome, dynamic white, RGB und RGBW LED xtures.
Main features:
yState-of-the-art user interface with elegant appearance
ySet-up via LIGHTDRIVE+ app
yFor monochrome, dynamic white, RGB and RGBW LED xtures
yTwo DMX outputs, divided in 3 zones
y8 scenes in each of the 3 predened zones
yPre-dened FX eects
yIntegrated scheduler for time trigger
yIntegrated proximity sensor
y2 low-side switches and 2 dry inputs for integration into 3rd party systems
Batteries and technical appliances must not be disposed of
with domestic waste, but should be handed in at the
appropriate collection and disposal points.

powered up. After changing the switch settings, the LIGHTDRVE+ must be restarted: Press 10
x Tone button and then 1 x Scene 1 button. Alternatively power down and up again the device.

6.1 Control all Zones via Zone A
Is DIP switch 9 enabled, you can control the Scene selection (including brightness levels) of all Zones at once
via Zone A with the following characteristics:
yIs Zone A selected, Scene control in this Zone is also valid for B and C. Example: Select for Zone A the
Scene 2 Zone B and Zone C will also each play their Scenes 2. Low-side switch settings are only used
as dened for Zone A, low-side switch settings for Zones B and C are ignored.
yAre Zone B or C selected, all control works as dened, including low-side switch settings. You have
separate control for the current Zone.
7 Power supply
The LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi can be powered in three dierent ways:
yby a 12 V DC external power supply at the connections A 1 and A 2.
yvia standard Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) at connections C 1 und C 2.
yvia the USB interface. This is only recommended when updating the rmware of the device and no
external power supply is available. Not allowed for permanent operation.

When powering via the USB interface, the
LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi requires up to 500 mA supply current
from the USB interface (USB 2.0). Ensure that the power
source can provide this current.

9 Mounting
The LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi can be mounted in most standard in-wall mounted boxes (DE, US, UK, JP etc.). It is
recommended to install it in a double-box to have more room for the cabling. Mount the device after all
connections are done.
1. Mount the base plate for the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi with screws on the in-
wall mounted boxes, recess to the top. Use a spirit level to ensure proper
positioning. Use as many of the appropriate xing holes of the base plate as
possible.
2. Make all required connections to the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi. Keep the
shielding and twisting of the Ethernet wires as long as possible to ensure proper Ethernet connections.
3. Place the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi on the base plate so all four noses of the
base plate rest in the four holes of the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi.
4. Shift down the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi until the locker latches with a small click.
10 Dismounting
To dismount the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi, insert a narrow screw driver into the
dismounting slot in the bottom right side to unlock the latch.
Shift the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi slightly up until it gets fully released.
!
Do not over-tighten the mounting screws for the base plate.
This may damage the holes for the screws or the base plate
gets twisted.

Check correct polarity of the DMX connection. Check the correct assignment of the DMX Zones with the
LIGHTDRIVE+ app.
The Tone button does not work.
Check if using the Tone button is allowed with the DIP switch no. 8 on the backside.
Can I repair the device myself?
No. Do not try to repair the device. Return it to your e:cue distributor for replacement or repair.
15 FAQ
Is it possible to use more than one LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi?
Yes. You can integrate multiple LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFis in your installation. When you want to synchronize their
activity, use Ethernet cables at the Ethernet connections (C 3 to C 6) and make sure all network settings are
coordinated.
How can I supply power to the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi?
You have two options: a) use an external power supply unit at the Power Supply input (connections A 1 and A
2), or b) use PoE at the connections C 1 and C 2.
What is the voltage for powering the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi?
The voltage is 12 V DC.
CanIusetheLIGHTDRIVE+WiFitopowerthextures?
No, this is not possible. But you can use one power supply unit for both.
