General Information
A compact convention cooled LED driver delivering accurate dimming to absolute zero. The driver has RJ45 in/out connections for local
DMX and comes complete with wireless capability for control using the ArcMesh wireless protocol.
The D4 driver can run up to 8 x GDS MR16 or 4 x GDS pro/décor 1 cell fittings. Refer to the light fitting datasheets for connection
information.
The ArcSystem has been specifically developed for auditorium lighting applications where high quality extremely accurate, consistent
and smooth dimming is required. The use of onboard Device Management allows the D4 driver to be addressed remotely using the
ARCMCT (commissioning tool) with the ARCMTX1 (Wireless Gateway) ensuring installation is fast and simple for electrical contractors.
Key Points:

Wired DMX and Wireless (ArcMesh) Addressing is achieved
using the wireless gateway and commissioning tool.

addresses and other parameters.
D4 driver CC - Non Emergency
If using the standard wireless ArcMesh driver, the driver has
to be used in conjunction with a gateway and commissioning
tool even if only wired DMX is used (RDM is not supported
currently in the wireless driver version). Please contact GDS
for further information and updates.
To specify state:
A high performance LED driver having 100% to absolute zero dimming, controllable from local DMX or ArcMesh wireless protocol.
Designed for 4 x GDS pro or décor 1 cell units, or 8 x GDS MR16 LED units, the driver will deliver 18-45VDC, have 400/600mA adjustment and have a total power delivery of over 100W. The driver will be constructed from powder coated mild steel with conduit knockouts and be designed for wall fixing with all connections enclosed. The DMX data will connect using internal neutrik RJ45 sockets and
be complete with a through option for linking DMX data. The driver will be silent in operation and convection cooled.

Non Emergency Connection
Non Emergency D4 drivers have 1 x mains connection. This connects to a normal mains supply and in the event of power failure the
driver will naturally turn off as there is now no power. However, the driver can be set to recall a level in the event of losing a wireless
or DMX signal using the commissioning tool options.

Maintained Input
Note:
For reliable emergency operation, when the mains sense
input power is lost, the driver
will bypass all electronic processing from the wireless/DMX
system.
The mains sense is used to detect whether the power has been lost. This will force the light fitting to a full on state running from the
maintained supply. There is no control of the light fitting from the Wireless or DMX until the Mains sense input is turned back on.
This configuration will be sufficient for a central battery system that provides a maintained supply at input 2 regardless of whether
power has been lost or not.
If the central battery system only provides power upon mains failure at input 2, a change over relay will be required to switch the
maintained input from a normal supply over to the battery system. This is required as the light fitting always requires power at the
maintained input for correct operation.
In this case, please see the information below.

Warning!
Do NOT attempt to carry out the following procedures unless authorised to do so.
Always ensure power is isolated prior to commencing any setting changes. If in doubt, please
contact your supplier or GDS directly.
Each channel of the driver will produce 600mA constant current output (standard GDS 1 Cell Décor/Pro Cell operation) when not in ‘Low Select’ mode. When in low select mode the driver will deliver 400mA. Dip switch 1 selects between the drive currents, ON is the lower 400mA
setting, OFF is the higher 600mA setting.
If using GDS MR16 fixtures, the ‘Low current Select’ MUST be enabled otherwise damage to the GDS MR16 fitting will result with either one
or two units connected to a channel.

Driver Board DIP Switch Settings
There are a number of other control options which can be changed within the driver. There is a DIP switch block per output channel.
The options are as follows in order of switch positions:
1.
[400/600mA] OFF=600mA, ON=400mA
Adjustment of drive current for this channel. This is always set to off when this driver is used in a 4 cell fitting, as described
above.
2.
3.
4.
[PWM Ch.1] OFF=No response to Channel 1 ON=Responds to Channel 1
[PWM Ch.2] OFF=No response to Channel 2 ON=Responds to Channel 2
[PWM Ch.3] OFF=No response to Channel 3 ON=Responds to Channel 3
The PWM channel switches select which control channel will drive this output on the driver card. As an example, if PWM Ch.1
is set to ON for an output, then this will respond to channel 1 DMX address in the device configuration, see example below:
This is a screen shot taken from the Commissioning tool
software. In this example, the channel DMX data will be 1, 5 and
10 respectively. If the Driver card channel is selected to PWM 2,
the cell will respond to DMX 5.
If there are more than 1 DIP switches selected ON, the driver
card will listen to the highest level of all the selected channels. It
will operate on an HTP (Highest Takes Precedence) basis.
The ability to have more than one DMX channel within a
D4 driver means each channel can be allocated a DMX
address enabling different level control.
For further information on Commissioning ArcSystem products
please refer to the ARCMCT help file.
5.
[OVERRIDE] OFF=Cell will not light in emergency state, ON=Cell will light in emergency state.
Refers to how each cell behaves when the mains sense input is turned off, and the fitting goes into emergency override.

3 and 4 Channel Modes
Each D4 driver has 4 output channels that can be connected to a number of control channels via the DIP switches as described above.
D4 drivers under Wireless ArcMesh control have 3 individually addressable channels. The 4th channel will need to have the same
address as one of the other 3 output channels. Example:
Output 1 set to control channel 1
Output 2 set to control channel 2
Output 3 set to control channel 3
Output 4 set to control channel 1,2,3
(DIP switch set to 1)
(DIP switch set to 2)
(DIP switch set to 3)
(depending on DIP switch setting)
Currently, only wired RDM versions of the D4 driver can be individually addressed on all 4 channels, IE have 4 separate control
channels. To obtain control channel 4, the emergency override DIP switch is used. Example:
Output 1 set to control channel 1
Output 2 set to control channel 2
Output 3 set to control channel 3
Output 4 set to control channel 4
(DIP switch set to 1)
(DIP switch set to 2)
(DIP switch set to 3)
(Emergency override set to on)
Override Input
When using a wired RDM driver that
requires the 4th control channel, the
override header needs to be shorted using
the shorting plug provided with the driver.
NOTE
If the driver is an emergency version, regardless of driver type, there will only be 3 control channels available, as the 4th control
channel is used to activate the emergency control on the selected outputs of the driver, using the DIP switch settings on each
output.
Please see our commissioning technical bulletins for more details on multiple channel addressing.

Control using ArcMesh
If using wireless control with the D4 driver, a wireless gateway will be required, part number ARCMTX1. When using the wireless control option, the system can be configured using the software and USB dongle (ARCMCT). In this case, DMX is connected to the gateway
and then the fittings are controlled wirelessly. The ARCMTX1 allows for other settings to be configured as listed below:




Patching of groups of light fittings to DMX channels.
Minimum and maximum dimming levels per group
Power fail/recovery options per group
Pre set recall when using button panels such as the ARCMCP8
If using the wired control option, DMX can be wired directly to the D4 driver using RJ45 connectors. Each driver has IN and THRU options, using 2 separate connectors. The commissioning tool along with the gateway allows for addressing of each driver remotely.

RDM Control Commissioning
For Wired Only RDM drivers, each unit can be connected using the RJ45 IN and THRU connectors with a maximum of 30 drivers on one DMX
line. An RDM compliant DMX Buffer can be used if more DMX Lines are needed.
Connecting the RDM programmer to the DMX input of the buffer will allow you to identify and change driver settings In the RDM Controller
Software. We recommend using an Enttec RDM Controller and software. For more information on this see or RDM commissioning Technical
Bulletin.
