Configure an 8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer

Use the System Design and Connections views to configure an 8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer module.

Ensure that the 8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer module (C4-DIN-8TV-E) is installed as directed in the Control4 8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer Installation Guide and 8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer Wiring Guide available on the Dealer Portal.

To add and configure an 8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer module:

  1. To add the driver and identify the device see “How to add devices to a project.” Ensure that the 8-Channel 0-10V Dimmer module driver is added to the project tree (see the next step). Add as many 8-Channel 0-10V Module drivers as needed (eight dimmers per module).
  1. In the Items pane > My Drivers tab > Lighting select the 8-Channel 0-10V Module to add the driver to the project tree.

    2. Notes: (1) Auto Discovery is available, but we recommend that you add the drivers manually for best results. (2) It’s best to add all of the modules at the same time before making all of the connections.

  1. (Optional) Rename the module drivers to something meaningful in the room, for example, 8-Channel 0-10V Module 1 in the Mechanical Room.
  1. (Optional) To configure the dimmer’s properties, in the project tree select the 8-Channel 0-10V Module object and view the items in the Properties pane.
