Color Kinetics CM-550 48V CA4 - 550W 48VDC DIN-Rail Control Module with 3-Wire Terminal Outputs and Ethernet/DMX for FlexElite Series in Gray Finish [109-000038-01]

The Color Kinetics CM-550 48V CA4 (Model # 109-000038-01) is a versatile and powerful control module designed for use with FlexElite LED luminaires, delivering integrated data and power for large-scale lighting installations. This control module supports both color and white luminaires, offering an efficient and reliable solution for sophisticated architectural lighting projects. With its modular design, multiple mounting options, and seamless integration with Color Kinetics' full range of controllers, the CM-550 is ideal for managing dynamic lighting systems, whether indoors or outdoors.

The CM-550 combines power and data delivery over a single cable, dramatically simplifying installation and reducing system costs. It integrates 48 VDC from a user-supplied power supply and merges this with control data, providing a streamlined solution for complex lighting installations. The module supports a maximum power output of 550 W, allowing for longer run lengths of up to 305 meters (1,000 feet) per output port. It supports up to 170 FlexElite nodes per PDS with factory-set control in 3-channel mode, and up to 128 nodes in 4-channel mode, depending on configuration, data resolution, and cable limitations. The CM-550 ensures that FlexElite nodes receive the necessary power and control signals, enabling smooth operation across large installations.

For added convenience, the CM-550 includes an integrated test button that allows users to instantly verify the operation of attached luminaires before the full control system is installed. This feature eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming reinstallation, ensuring that the system is set up correctly from the start. Additionally, the CM-550 comes with a built-in fixed-color effect, enabling the setting of a static color scene without the need for an external controller, making it ideal for simpler installations.

Designed with versatility in mind, the CM-550 is available in both DIN rail mount and surface mount options, providing flexibility for various installation environments. It is also compatible with third-party power supplies, giving users the freedom to choose the best power source for their specific needs. The module's integration with Interact Landmark allows for remote monitoring and management, enabling users to create and trigger light shows, monitor system status, and simplify maintenance from anywhere.

The CM-550 also offers expanded dimming flexibility, thanks to its built-in 0-10V input. This feature allows for precise dimming control of FlexElite luminaires using virtually any architectural 0-10V source, providing enhanced customization for a variety of lighting applications.
