Says Class 2 right on it. I can't believe that if the output is Class 2 the control wiring would be something else.

Please refer to:Thats the driver....I'm referring to the dimming module.

The OT DIM module has 0-10V, <0.6mA rated inputs. The dimmer is technically the power supply for the dimmer circuit(s), and will likely be Class 2... but you have to check to be certain.
Class 2 much more so.Thanks. So class 1 and 2 ckts can be run free air without conduit, correct?

As I said, and you excluded, "you have to check to be certain." Stating the OT DIM module is Class II rated is no guarantee the control circuit is Class 2. Note Class II refers to a hazardous location category.• OT DIM control circuit is Class II rated.

No it's not.
After some checking, that is correct.Not in my experience.
Fir instance if you short the dimmer connections at the driver the LEDs drop to the low dim output. This is without a dimmer connected at all.
Open circuit = full bright, closed circuit = full dim.
Stating the OT DIM module is Class II rated is no guarantee the control circuit is Class 2. Note Class II refers to a hazardous location category.
I've been around long enough to know making assumptions in electrical applications can get you in trouble quicker than ____ . Fill in the blank with any word or words at your "common sense" discretion.Come on. A little common sense here. ...

I'm not going to say I'm experienced with 0-10V LED lighting control (because I am not )... but I can say I am experienced with electrical control circuits.
In fact to the degree that I've worked in control rooms on control circuits of nuclear power plants. Suffice it to say I've run into control circuits with two different power supply Classes. Based solely on the wiring diagram on the spec' sheet I linked to in my earlier post, this system is a likely candidate. At that point of understanding the control system, one should prove otherwise and make no assumption in the process.
Are we clear?
I suspected as much...Are you aware that the 0-10 volt dimming is not the same as 0-10 volt industrial controls? At least the equipment I have been installing. This is major brand stuff.
I had nothing better to do at the time. :blink:A bit dramatic.
