3Installing the WLED30CV4 Installation should only be carried out by a competent electrician. DONOTCONNECTDIRECTLYTOTHEMAINSSUPPLY. WLED30CV4modulesshouldbemountedinareasthatareadequatelyventilated, anddry. Modulesshouldbemountedvertically, with the terminals at the bottom, or horizontally. Whilethemodulesaredesignedtobemaintenance-free, they should be mounted in an accessible location should investigation or re-addressing of the units be necessary. Ensurethat the cable clamps are fitted tightly to secure the cables. Theunitinputvoltage is 12V or 24V DC, and the power supply must be adequately rated for the connected load. STEP1 Removethecoversandcableclamps. STEP2 Connect the 12/24V power supply to the ‘DC Input’ terminals. NB Theconnectedpowersupplymustbe adequately rated for the load. WLED30CV4 Manual Version 2.2.0

STEP3 Connect the Constant Voltage load. TheWLED30CV4hasacommon positive and four individual switched negative outputs. STEP4 Connect the RJ11 cable to the RJ11 port. If the WK-CONNECT is used, connect the opposite side of the RJ11 cable into the WK-CONNECTRJ11port. TheWK-CONNECTpunchdown connection can accept up to two CAT5orCAT6cables. STEP5 Secure the cables with the cable clamps provided. STEP6 Replace the covers. WLED30CV4 Manual Version 2.2.0

Thefollowing steps assume: - AProject File has been created. - RoomshavebeenaddedtotheProjectFile. - Channels have been added to the Project File. - TheHUBhasbeenconfigured. If any of the above steps have not been completed, see Wired System Setup Guide. - Connect to the HUB in the communications window by double-clicking it, there will beagreentick to confirm the connection has been successful. - Select “File” - “New device” to bring up the “New device Wizard” and choose “WLED30CV4”fromthelist.

- ChooseaDevicename,ifmultiple devices are being programmed it is advised to addauniquedescription. To assign an automatic name and leave the text field blank, tick the box ‘Automatic Name’. - Assign the WLED30CV4 a Room, and leave ‘Associate to new Channel’ blank. - Press and hold the clear button on the WLED30CV4 for 3-4 seconds until it starts to flash, ‘Device Found’ will appear in the software window.

Bydefault the WLED30CV4 will allocate four Rako Channels representing the four outputs ontheWLED30CV4,eachchannelcanbecontrolledindividually to mix colours, this can also be done on the Rako App via the colour wheel. 6Additional features of the WLED30CV4 6.1 Cycle mode TheWLED30CV4canbesettorunthroughasequenceofcoloursinaloop,thisismost commonlyusedinaccentlighting as a feature. Bydefault, Cycle Mode will start on Scene 1 and cycle through to Scene 2, Scene 3 and Scene 4 and then repeat. The Scene range can be adjusted in the Device menu via the Lower and Upper Scene Limit.

6.2 Visible channels Rasoft will allocate four Rako Channels by default for the WLED30CV4, if less than four channels are being used, the allocation can be adjusted in the ‘Visible Channels’ section of the WLED30CV4DeviceEditor. 6.3 Colour Wheel Theoutputs on the WLED30CV4 can be controlled using a colour wheel in the Rako App, where selecting a colour will automatically mix the Channels without needing to do it individually. Thecolour wheel is not enabled by default, for a colour wheel to show in the Rako App, the Channels need to be labelled as below: Example: Acolour wheel in the App called “Feature” would have the following channel names: WLED30CV4 Manual Version 2.2.0

Appendix 1 - Wiring Examples A1.1 STAR Wiring Star Wired systems are connected back to the RAK-STAR unit with individual runs of CAT5 or CAT6 cable, there can be multiple Devices on a single run, although the end of line must beset to ‘STAR’ at the end of line. WLED30CV4 Manual Version 2.2.0
Page 10
A1.2 Radial Wiring Radial wiring connects two or more Devices in a single continuous run, each end of line must have a ‘Term’ set on the termination jumpers. WLED30CV4 Manual Version 2.2.0
