To wire a positive control (0-10V) dimming module, connect the dimmer's positive output to the LED driver's +DIM input and the dimmer's negative/common to the driver's –DIM input, keeping these low-voltage wires separate from AC power.

Step-by-Step Wiring Instructions

1. Safety First Before starting, turn off the circuit breaker and verify that all wires are de-energized using a non-contact voltage tester . 2. Identify Wires

• AC Power Wires: Black (hot), White (neutral), Green or bare (ground)
• Control Wires: Purple (positive +DIM), Gray or Blue (negative/common –DIM) for the 0-10V signal 3. Connect AC Power to the LED Driver
• Connect the black (hot) line to the driver's input terminal.
• Connect the white (neutral) to the driver's neutral terminal.
• Connect the green or bare wire to the driver's ground and the metal junction box . 4. Connect the Positive Control Wire
• Run the purple wire from the dimmer's positive output to the +DIM terminal on the LED driver . 5. Connect the Negative/Common Control Wire
• Run the gray (or blue) wire from the dimmer's negative output to the –DIM terminal on the LED driver . 6. Maintain Separation from AC Lines
• Ensure the low-voltage control wires are completely separate from the high-voltage AC wires to prevent damage to the dimmer or driver . 7. Verify Polarity and Function
• In a current sinking system, the LED driver sources voltage, and the dimmer sinks current to adjust brightness.
• Maximum brightness occurs at 10V DC across the control wires; minimum brightness occurs at 0V DC . 8. Test the System
• Restore power and adjust the dimmer. The LED should respond linearly from minimum to maximum brightness.
• If the lights do not respond correctly, double-check the wire connections and polarity .

Additional Notes

• Wire gauge: Use 18 AWG for runs up to 150 ft; longer runs may require 16 AWG .
• Some modern drivers are non-polarizing, but correct polarity is recommended for reliable operation .
• Positive control dimming modules are compatible only with drivers rated for 0-10V dimming . Following these steps ensures a safe and functional installation of a positive control dimming module for LED lighting.
