11 11  0-10V dimming is one of the most common dimming methods for LED fixtures. It utilizes a 0-10VDC signal from the lighting controller to the fixture power supply or driver in order to control the brightness of the fixtures. This 0-10VDC signal is typically carried over a shielded pair of gray (negative) and violet (positive) wires. In the event that 0-10V dimming fixtures are exhibiting unexpected dimming behavior, an easy place to begin troubleshooting is at the lighting control module.

15 15  Crestron produces a variety of 0-10V lighting controllers, and the specifics for troubleshooting them varies slightly. That being said, there is a general procedure for testing 0-10V dimming modules that is applicable to any type of 0-10V controller (even non-Crestron controllers). This general procedure is as follows:
