With the RGBW Dimmer Tree, extra low-voltage LED fittings and LED strips can be dimmed using PWM and any useable colours can be mixed. The 4 outputs can be configured as one RGBW channel, or can be used as 4 separate channels.
The device is also available in a compact housing (RGBW Compact Dimmer Tree). The functions are identical.

Mounting↑
The RGBW Dimmers is installed on a DIN rail in a suitable enclosure. The Compact Dimmer can be used without a separate enclosure. The cable should be kept as short as possible to reduce voltage drop.
The wire size should be selected so that the voltage drop is not more than 1 V. This can be determined using the following formula:
ΔU = I · R = I · ((2 · L · ρ) / A)
I … current [A], L … cable length [m], A … wire cross-section [mm²], ΔU … voltage drop [V], ρ … resistance [( Ω*mm²)/m], ρ= constant (0,0172 for copper)
Connect the power supply and Tree communication wires. Shortly after power-up, the status LED will blink orange if the wiring is correct (connection to Tree Extension and Miniserver is established).
Commissioning↑
Then follow the pairing procedure
Individual channels↑
If "Individual channels " is selected as actuator type in the properties of the device, the channel assignment is as follows:
Output 1 - terminal red, output 2 - terminal green, output 3 - terminal blue, output 4 - terminal white
