Quanta Helix dimming with Apex Base unit trouble

[slojmn]

I just set up two Quanta Helix Bars and wired them to the Apex Dimming cable. I programmed the variable output 1 for on/off based on a thread I read where someone couldn’t get their light to dim and after programming one output for on/off it worked. Then I programmed the variable output 2 with the wand and created a graph for dimming through the day. I kept everything 20% or higher per Luca’s video regarding the Meanwell driver needs. I am getting one Helix bar to come on but it is staying at 100% with no dimming. The other Bar won’t light up at all and appears to be some issue with the wiring. I would at least like to get the problem with the bar that seems correctly wired and coming on at 100% to work with the dimming program I set up.
I have both bars plugged into my EB832 for plain old on/off function.

Here is my program for the variable outlets 1 and 2. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong, I just don’t know what. Any help is appreciated.

The power should be controlled by an AC outlet on an EB or EB832, then connect the dimming wires to the lights and use V1/2 or V3/4 for dimming. Black wire from apex is + and red wire -, just match the same on the Helix lights. For dimming/schedule, just use a simple 4 point schedule.

Thanks so much. That is pretty much what I did but still couldn’t get it to work. I’m sure it is user error. Luca at Quanta is working on a controller for his lights for dimming so I’m going to wait for that to come out and not bother with the Apex for now.

Did you test the driver dim circuit?
That's a Meanwell dimmable driver right?

This light came with manual dimmer. Does that work?

Did you figure out how to get the apex to auto dim the quanta bars? I’m in the same boat, wanted to know if the apex pro will auto dim the lights without using lucas new manual dim switch.
