Enttec – CVC4 -Constant Voltage Dimmer

Enttec

4-Channel, Installation-Grade, Constant Voltage LED dimmer. Robust and reliable, ENTTEC’s CVC4 is the ultimate high-precision, constant voltage (CV) LED dimmer. Prepare to take your CV projects to the next level!

SKU: ENT73926 Categories: , , ,

Description

The CVC4 is a 4-channel constant voltage LED dimmer, supporting up to 5A per channel at 12–24V. Designed for performance and reliability, it’s ideal for dimming RGB or RGBW LED tape.

Featuring auto-addressing PLINK protocol support, the CVC4 integrates seamlessly with ENTTEC’s PIXELATOR controllers—simply daisychain units with Cat6 cable up to 300m, no manual addressing required.

Alternatively, configure via RDM (default DMX start: 001), or use DMX-to-PLINK conversion to autoaddress downstream CVC4 units via PLINK.

The CVC4 includes a user-replaceable blade fuse for short-circuit protection and output current limiting to prevent overheating. Two onboard DIP switches allow quick selection between RGB/RGBW and 8-bit/16-bit modes. Its solid-state, fanless design ensures virtually silent operation.

Note: The number of controllable DMX universes per PLINK port is determined by the PLINK data source.

Features

  • Dimming capacity of up to 5A per channel.
  • 12-24V input (max 20A total load).
