    VDM help

    I have a rapid led kit on my 40 gallon breeder. For some reason I can't get the violet/red/green up to 100% brightness. I have the violets/red/green LEDs running on a 0-10v dimmable driver. The two channel cable is connected from the driver to the VDM. According to Fusion it is at 100% but the LEDs are hardly lite. If I disconnect the driver from the VDM the LEDs will then turn on to 100%. Any suggestions on what might be wrong. Thanks for the help.

    have you double checked your pin out with a continuity checker? i found that my pin 5 and 6 were not the normal pin 5 and 6. this was with a standard ethernet cable.

    Disconnect the dimming cable from the light fixture and measure the voltage at 100%. Wire them back up to the fixture and measure the voltage again at 100% while they are landed. Post results here and I can at least tell you where the problem is originating from.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
