10cas
Dual 0-10VDC to Casambi 2-Channel Dimmer
l0cas is a Bluetooth controllable, Casambi enabled, two-channel analog 0-l0VDC input dimmer that allows connection to a standard 0-l0VDC analog dimming master controller to a Casambi network. While the Casambi manufactured CBU-A2D is intended to connect to analog controlled fixtures, the l0cas is the “other side”, allowing for standard 0-l0VDC controllers to be utilized with Casambi networks. The l0cas is connected between an l2-24 VDC Class 2 power supply, and a 0-l0VDC master with one or two channels.
l0cas can implement up to two Casambi pushbutton devices, making it an ideal partner for tunable white (TW) applications. Multiple l0cas devices can be used in the same network to control different fixtures, channels, or zones since the two channels of control can be mapped using the Casambi mobile application.
l0cas can be configured with the Casambi app which can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Different Casambi-enabled products can be used from a simple single luminaire direct control to a complete and full-featured light
control system where many units automatically form an intelligent mesh network.
RATED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY
Our products can be controlled with the Casambi app which can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Relay output and sensor input is included.
Installation
Connect a Class 2 power supply with l2-24 VDC output voltage to the input connector of l0cas. Make sure not to use a constant current LED driver and make sure that the cable polarity is correct. The product has two 0-l0VDC analog positive input connections, plus one common (RETURN} ground. Connect the 0-l0VDC load wires to a 0-l0VDC master of your choice to give you 0-l0VDC control of your Casambi lighting network.
l0cas can be mapped just like pushbuttons are mapped in the Casambi application. Once you add the l0cas to your Casambi network, navigate to the “More” button at the bottom of the app. Then press “Switches, where the l0cas will be seen. Press on the l0cas that you want to configure, and select each of the two pushbutton items in turn. Then configure each of the two pushbuttons to control a Casambi element by pressing on “Not in Use” .and then select what the pushbutton is to control, most likely “Controls and Element”, which then you can select a certain element to control. Note at the bottom of this screen there are six user-programmable parameters—High and Low Trim, and Hysteresis for each channel. These allow fine-tuning of the bottom and top analog voltage in, and hysteresis allows for managing inputs that may be noisy. Be sure to press “Done” at the top right to save the configuration.
l0cas should not be placed in a metal enclosure, such as metal junction boxes. Metal will attenuate radio signals which are crucial to the operation of the product. If the product will have to install into a junction box, make sure to use a plastic junction box. l0cas is an ETL Listed Open-Type device which means that it will have to be used together with a Class 2 power supply with a maximum output power of l00 VA. The product can be
installed outside of the junction box. Make sure to comply with National Electric Code in installation and when selecting installation wires.
Typical Connection Diagram
* The relay must be protected against inductive over voltage spikes, i.e. it must have a flyback diode. Do not connect a typical PCB relay without the diode.

Range
The range between two 10cas’s or between a 10cas and a smartphone can vary depending on obstacles and surrounding material. In open-air, the range between two 10cas can be in excess of 200 ft, but if the unit is encapsulated into a metal structure, the range can be only a few feet. Therefore, thorough testing is highly suggested. Casambi uses mesh network technology so each 10cas acts also as a repeater. When testing the network, it is
important to test that each unit can be controlled from any point of the network covered area.
