Description
The Draper LVC-IV Low Voltage Control Module is a versatile, single-channel motor control solution designed to work with 110V or 220V motors while being driven by safe, convenient low-voltage inputs. Engineered for reliability in professional theater, conference rooms, education spaces, and home theaters, the LVC-IV lets you orchestrate powerful motorized systems with a range of control options that minimize wiring complexity and maximize integration flexibility. With its thoughtful combination of dry-contact, infrared (IR), and wireless RF capabilities, plus straightforward RS232/RS48 connectivity, this module puts precise motor control into your hands — whether you’re programming a dedicated control panel, wall switch, or a full automation system.
- Single-channel motor control for 110V or 220V systems that supports both slow, precise movement and quick, responsive operation, enabling smooth motion profiles for screens, shades, and other motorized devices.
- Low-voltage dry-contact wall switch compatibility via a 3-screw terminal block, delivering safe control without exposing high-voltage components to a wall switch or user interface.
- IR receiver jack for direct integration with standard remotes and universal remote setups, giving you the option to control Draper-powered devices from across the room with ease.
- Built-in RF receiver to enable wireless control without additional hardware, supporting quick setup in dynamic rooms where wiring is difficult or undesirable.
- Two RJ25 ports for RS232/RS48 (RS485) communication, designed to integrate the LVC-IV with existing automation systems, switches, process controllers, or rack-mount control networks.

how to install Draper LVC-IV Low Voltage Control Module
- Power down all equipment before installation to ensure safe handling of the module and connected motors.
- Mount the LVC-IV in your preferred enclosure or on a wall or panel using appropriate hardware, ensuring adequate ventilation and access to connectors.
- Connect the low-voltage dry-contact input to the 3-screw terminal block, mapping your wall switch or sensor to the module’s control input according to your project diagram.
- Attach IR reception hardware as needed by connecting to the IR receiver jack and configuring any IR routing within your control system or remote setup.
- Connect the two RJ25 ports to your RS232/RS485 devices or automation controller, following the device-specific wiring scheme and baud rate settings.
- Set the motor voltage selection to match your installation (110V or 220V) and verify wiring for safety and compliance with local electrical codes.
- Power the system on and perform a slow, supervised test of movement to verify that the wall switch, IR remote, and RF control respond correctly and that RS232/RS485 communications are established.
- Program any macro or integration routines with your control system, ensuring that the LVC-IV’s responses align with expected timings and safety interlocks.
