casTen
Casambi Enabled Two-Channel 0-10VDC Master with Two Programmable Digital I/O
casTen is a Bluetooth controllable, Casambi enabled, two channel 0-10VDC master dimmer. It can
drive up to 20Ma per channel to 0-10VDC analog enabled lighting devices and fixtures. The casTen
is connected between a 12-24 VDC Class 2 power supply and provides a non-isolated, common
ground to the input ground and all two outputs. casTen can control up to two analog lighting chan-
nels making it an ideal partner for tunable white (TW) applications, with Profiles are available for
standard Casambi color tuning CCT controls.
Two configurable digital, dry contacts (no external voltages!) can each be configured as an input or
output, programmable input OR output is supported with 3-way gang switch operational modes.
Multiple cas10 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. Two
channels are 0-100% dimming capable, with a single configurable digital ON/OFF from Dig3.
casCCDrive can be configured with the Casambi app which can be downloaded free of charge from
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.

DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT
Digital I/Os are digital, dry contacts, do not drive with
voltage. Casambi Profiles allow for the setting of the I/O
direction.
Input: Connect to dry switch to the ground terminal. In
mode an be set to Normal, Inverted, or MultiSwitch to
allow for switch gang operation. Output: Connect to
dry sensor to the ground terminal. In mode an be set to
Normal or Inverted. Caution! This input should not be
powered, and only used as a dry contact between the
two connections.

INSTALLATION DETAILS
Connect a Class 2 power supply with 12-24 VDC output voltage to the input connector of casTen. Make sure not to use a constant current LED driver and make sure that the cable polarity is correct.
The product has four 0-10VDC outputs, plus a common ground. Connect these dimming load wires accordingly. casTen can be configured having different types of outputs, such as 4 channel RGBW (color picker), or 4 individual channels. These configurations can be made by the end user from Casambi App using Profiles. As default, casTen is delivered with straight 4-channel Profile configuration. Top and Bottom Trim values for each chan-nel allow for setting the bottom and top output values based on the Casambi 0-100% (0-255) values to work with fixtures that may not work well with 0V or 10V operation, both can be moved independently.
casTen 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 installed into a junction box, make sure to use a plastic junction box.
casTen is an ETL Listed Open-Type device which means that it will have to be used together with a Class 2 power supply with maximum output pow-er of 100 VA. The product can be installed outside of junction box. Make sure to comply with National Electric Code in installation and when se-lecting installation wires.

RANGE DETAILS
The range between two casTens or between a casTen and a smart phone can vary depending on obstacles and surrounding material. In open air the range between two casTens can be in excess of 200 ft, but if the unit is encapsulated into a metal structure, the range can be only few feet. There-fore, thorough testing is high suggested.
Casambi uses mesh network technology so each casTen 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.
