2.1 Description
The basicDIM Wireless PWM CV 4CH module is a Bluetooth controlled,
four channel PWM dimmer for constant voltage LED loads, such as LED
strips and constant voltage LED modules.
The basicDIM Wireless PWM CV 4CH is supplied with 12-24 V DC.
The LED load is connected to the output.
The basicDIM Wireless PWM CV 4CH module can control up to four
channels, making it an ideal partner for RGBW and Tunable White (TW)
applications. The maximum combined output current is 6 A, which can be
freely divided into 1-4 channels.
All basicDIM wireless devices can be controlled with the Tridonic app
„4remote BT“. The app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store
or Google Play Store.
2.2 Operation
The basicDIM Wireless PWM CV 4CH module is fully compatible with
networks which support up to 250 nodes (Evolution networks). If the module
is used with different types of basicDIM Wireless devices in an Evolution
network, their compatiblity has to checked before. If a device is not
compatible with Evolution networks, it can be only used in networks which
support up to max. of 127 devices (Classic networks).
Multiple devices automatically form a mesh network that can be controlled
from any point. These networks communicate wirelessly directly with the
smartphone or tablet. Therefore, an external gateway or wireless LAN
network is not required.
basicDIM wireless devices have an integrated 2.4 GHz antenna. For optimum
RF performance, special attention is required if the device is to be integrated
into a luminaire. See also chapter 5.4 Placement for further instructions.
The settings and operating modes can be configured using the 4remote BT
app. They are automatically stored in the Tridonic Cloud Service. This way,
the same settings are available to everyone connected to the network.

tc (bottom)
The basicDIM Wireless PWM CV 4CH module has a common positive output
connector (+) and each of the four channels has its own negative connector
(-). This is the most typical case with multi-channel LED strips.
Connect the LED load cables accordingly.
The outputs of the basicDIM Wireless PWM CV 4CH can be configured for
different applications, such as 4-channel RGBW, 3-channel RGB and
2-channel TW. It is also possible to configure the individual dimmable
channels together and individually. These configurations can be made by
the end user from the Tridonic 4Remote BT App.

5.2 Wiring type and cross section
The wiring can be in stranded wires with ferrules or solid with a cross section
of 0.75–1.5 mm² (14–22 AWG).
Strip 6–7 mm of insulation from the cables to ensure perfect operation of the
push-wire terminals.
Use one wire for each terminal connector only.
Use each strain relief channel for one cable only.

Antenna cutout on bottom of device
The range of the communication signal is depending on the envi-
ronment e.g. luminaire, construction of the building, furnitures or
humans and needs to be tested and approved in the installation.
To ensure a good radio connection, do not cover the basicDIM
Wireless completely with metal!
5.3 Placement
basicDIM Wireless devices have an integrated antenna for easy integration.
In order to maximize the range in every direction some design guidelines
should be taken into consideration when mounting the device.
The antenna is located on the corner of the enclosure. It is on the top side of
the internal PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
When the device is mounted on a metal plate (e.g. frame of a luminaire),
it may efficiently block the radio frequency signal. Also the device should be
placed as far away from any vertical metal structures as possible.
6.2 Conditions of use and storage
Environmental conditions: 0 % up to max. 80 %,
not condensed
Storage temperature: -25 °C up to max. +75 °C
The devices have to be acclimatised to the specified temperature range (ta)
before they can be operated.
