Zhaga casDMX
Casambi 12-Channel DMX Master with Casambi CBM003 Long Range Radio
Zhaga casDMX is a Bluetooth-controlled, Casambi-enabled, 12-channel DMX-512 master dimmer that generates a single DMX Universe. It connects DMX-enabled lighting devices and fixtures to a Casambi network to gain full color control. The Zhaga casDMX is connected to a 12-24 VDC Class 2 power supply and provides a non-isolated DMX-512 universe.
Zhaga casDMX can control luminaires using Casambi color widgets and up to 12 DMX channels utilizing Casambi sliders in Evolution mode. It is an ideal DMX controller for RGBW and tunable white (TW) applications since a user choice of multiple Casambi Profiles allows for selection of four, eight, or 12 slider channels and standard Casambi 4-channel color controls.
Zhaga casDMX can be controlled 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 one luminaire direct control to a complete and full featured light control system where up to 250 units form automatically an intelligent Casambi mesh network.

INSTALLATION DETAILS
Connect a Class 2 power supply with +12-24 VDC output (constant voltage) to the input connector of Zhaga casDMX. Be sure not to use a constant current LED driver and make sure that the wire connection polarity is correct before powering the unit on.
The product has one DMX universe, out with a DMX+ and DMX– connection, making sure to share the DMX Ground connection with the DC power ground signal. Connect the DMX load wires accordingly.
The Zhaga casDMX can be configured having different types of outputs, such as four channel RGBW (color picker), four, eight or 12 individual slider channels. DMX addresses start at channel or address 1, and are sequential. These configurations can be made by the end user from Casambi App using Profiles. As default, the Zhaga casDMX is delivered with the RGBW configuration. Vendor Parameters allow for changing the DMX Start Address, and options for DMX signal output, and support for repeating channels in use cases like linear lights.
The Zhaga casDMX is intended to be located in free air, and should not be placed in a metal enclosure, such as inside 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. TE has multiple sockets that are compatible with the Zhaga casDMX and can be found on their website at https:/www/te/com/en/plp/street-lighting-connectors/Y44Eb.html.
The Zhaga casDMX 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 power of 100 VA. The product can be installed outside of junction box. Make sure to comply with National Electric Code in installation and when selecting installation wires.

RANGE DETAILS
The range between two Zhaga casDMX’s or between a Zhaga casDMX and a mpbile device can vary depending on obstacles and surrounding material. The open air range between two Zhaga casDMXs can be in excess of 1000 meters, but if the unit is encapsulated into a metal structure, the range can be only few feet. The mobile device can be the range limiter when connecting it to the Zhaga casDMX. Thorough testing is high suggested.
Casambi uses mesh network technology so each Zhaga casDMX 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.
