A module for voltage-controlled dimming of LEDs, typically LED strips.
The supply voltage of 12 or 24 V should be selected with regard to the LED light source used (LED strips). The outputs for LED strips have a common positive power supply pole (anode) labelled as LED +. In LED+ outputs it is necessary to keep the maximum current of a single terminal at 10 A.
An example of the module connection is provided in Chapter 6.3.1 Dimming RGB, monochrome and two-colour LED strips.
There are more and more LED strips emerging on the market, which are designed to be powered by nominal current (they achieve higher efficiency than the strips powered by nominal voltage). These strips must not be connected to the outputs of the C-DM-0006M-ULED module, as the LEDs could be destroyed! These LED strips powered by nominal current must be dimmed by the C-DM-0006M-ILED module.
Powering the LEDs |
12 or 24 VDC external power supply, 24 A max. |
The outputs for LED light sources. |

The number of outputs |
6 |
Output voltage |
12 or 24 V (depending on the power supply source). |
A maximum current of one output (LED1 to LED6). |
6 A |
A maximum current in the common terminal (each LED+ terminal). |
10 A |
A maximum total output current consumed from the LED source. |
24 A |
Thermal protection |
Yes |
Overcurrent and short-circuit protection |
No |
NB: - The module is not equipped with overload and short circuit protection. A short circuit on the module's output (terminals LEDx against LED+) will destroy the module.
