Hey guys,

Ive got myself a new light unit, its a Vertex Illumilux MB900.

It runs on Meanwell drivers and i havent been able to find any topic that deals with a n00b like me coding for them.

I have no idea where to start, do i need special cables to connect to RA headunit?(All i have is the Meanwell power supply- the unit itself has no controller) or how is it controlled?

Thanks

If it's 0-10v dimming, then it's just standard LED dimming, programmable through the wizard. Make sure you have the analog RA or RA dimming expansion. You would use the standard RA dimming connectors.

What model is the driver? Do you have any pics of the connections on the light?

Hi Colin,

The unit is supposed to be 0-10v controllable. I think I have the pwm RA? How would I tell?

Here's some pics of the connectors and driver (sorry for bad pics )

If your relay box has a sticker "Analog Dimming" on the bottom, you have analog signal... Otherwise it is PWM.
The power supply on the last pic is just an AC/DC converter. It's not the driver.
You need to find out what is the pinout for the dimming connection on that fixture.

Thanks Roberto.

I will try find out the info - vertex has very little detailed info for this exact unit,

I'll try email them and find out
