Longshot- Apex- Black Box Dimming

[andrewey]

Unfortunately I don't have access to my multimeter at the moment, so I'm hoping someone may have wired one of these up in the past and remembered- I have a no name black box led and was trying to wire it up so my apex could control the dimming functions. Unfortunately the board doesn't have great labeling, so I was trying to determine which of the cables controls the power, ground, and dimming. Based on the three cables attached to the dimming board, I'm assuming they share a common ground in the middle, but I was hoping someone would recognize which is my power and which cable I would wire up with my 0-10v from the apex. Let me know what pictures/tests would help. I know it's a long shot, so Thanks!

First see if your dimming boar is labelled. If not open the driver..

Dimming board is not labeled. Driver is labeled (pictured below). Based on the labeling, I'm assuming the dimming is via a 5V PWM? If so, I'm assuming that means I can't connect the 0-10v analog signal from the apex to the 5V PWM directly or is this incorrect?

Surprising.... Some "old" ones were PWM (don't remember if it was 5 or 10V atm but pretty sure most were 10v PWM).
None were 5V analog ..

You are correct.. IF this is 5v pwm you would need a conversion board from 10V analog to 5V PWM.
These exist, since common Meanwell LDD drivers use 5V PWM.

Needs further research, unfortunately.
