Anyone using Neptune VDM module to control DIY Rapid Led fixture?

I would like to use my apex to control my led fixture, I have 3 mean well drivers. If anyone is using this could you give me an idea on what you used and how you wired it thanks

Which drivers are you using, hopefully the dimable ones. I'm using the 60-48D , one end has 2 wires, this is for the AC plug and the other end has 4, red, black white and blue. The red and black are for the LED's - (red to positive and black to negative) and the blue and white go to one of the "V"ports on the moduel or base unit. (becareful of polarity + to + and - to - or it won't work)

You will need a modified Cat 5 cable (just use a spare one and cut one end off), off the top of my head, 1 & 2 and 5 & 6 are the pins used on the "V" port (one positive and the other ground) or one of these 2 Channel Apex to Light Dimming cable

And you will need to adjust the driver , this is just quick and not complete, more instructions here

Hopefully this will get you started

I have 3 drivers. The cable that Rapid Led sells only has two wires. I run my whites and my red green cyan/uv strands at about the same intensity. So could I just have the controller use the two wires and run both of my whites and other driver on one wire and my blues on the other?

There are 4 ports or 2 different things you can run on each Cat 5.

What kind of drivers are they? Like this?

ELN 60 48D

I'm running 10 ELN 60 48D's drivers on 3 ports
5= Royal Blues
3= White
2= Blue

Yep I have the same drivers

Without seeing it I'm gonna to guess that it's a Cat 5. But anyway, it's hooked up the way I described - after it's adjusted (driver)

the (top) two wires from the driver are for the AC brown and blue
And the four (bottom) blue and whie for the Apex "V" port (white neg)
and red and black for the LEDS (red point of sale abd black neg)
