Introduction
The 458/CTR8 is an eight-channel digital ballast controller module capable of controlling 0–10V, 1–10V,
DSI®, DALI broadcast or PWM loads. It has both a DALI and an SDIM/DMX interface, and therefore can be fully
integrated into a DIGIDIM or an Imagine router system. It can also be used on the TouchPanel or on standalone DALI or
DIGIDIM systems.
Note: DALI and SDIM/DMX must not be connected simultaneously.
Chassis modules
The 458/CTR8 module is attached to the 458M1, 458M2 or 458M3 chassis. The chassis modules are supplied with
control module by-pass connectors, and can be fully installed and wired prior to fitting of the control module(s). Thus,
all electrical installation, testing and powering up of the lighting circuits can be carried out prior to the fitting of the
control modules, which prevents possible damage to the control modules due to circuit overload or faults or to the use
of high-voltage insulation testing equipment.
LCD display and keypad
The front of the module is equipped with an LCD display and keypad to set basic configuration parameters and provide
basic control of channel and output levels. For information, see ‘Control Panel’ on page5.
Channels and load protection
The module has eight high-inrush relays, rated at 16 A per channel.
Note: The correct chassis load protection must be chosen to ensure that the required channel ratings are achieved, but
not exceeded.

Loosen
knobs
Blanking
plate
Unscrew and remove the blanking plate(s) from the chassis.
Note 1: 458M1: 1 blanking plate
458M2: 2 blanking plates
458M3: 3 blanking plates
Note 2: The diagrams on this page show the 458M1/4S10 Chassis.
Covers and knockouts are removed from the 458M2 and 458M3 in a
similarway.
1.2 Remove chassis blanking plates
For details, refer to the 458Mx Chassis Installation Guide.
1.1 Remove chassis cover
Partially unscrew the two knobs on the module to reveal the pins.
1.3 Loosen attachment knobs
Attach the module to the chassis by slotting the pins of the module to the
mounting bracket.
1.4 Slot module pins into mounting bracket
Screw the knobs to the mounting bracket to secure the module.
1.5 Tighten knobs
1. Attach the module to a chassis
Mounting, environmental and clearance requirements
Mounting
• Attach the 458/CTR8 to a 458M1, 458M2, or 458M3 chassis that is mounted vertically on a flat surface.
Environment
• The ambient temperature must be between 0°C and +40°C.
• Air humidity must be between 0% and 90% (noncondensing).
• The area must be adequately ventilated.
• Do NOT install this product in a damp location.
Clearance
• For effective ventilation, ensure that there is adequate space around the combined chassis and module(s): 50 mm
above, below and on both sides. Refer to the mounting dimensions and clearance diagrams in the 458Mx Chassis
Installation Guide.
• When a Helvar control module (e.g. 458/CTR8) is attached, the grilles must NOT be obstructed.
For further information, refer to the Helvar 458Mx Chassis Installation Guide.
Warning: Before attaching the module and making any connections, make sure that the mains supply is isolated.
Important: The module may be controlled by either DALI or SDIM/DMX, but DALI and SDIM/DMX must not be connected
simultaneously.
3Helvar | Data is subject to change without notice.
Connect the mains control supply as shown below. The load output cables from the 458M chassis will
be plugged into the chassis bypass terminals. Unplug the cables, and then connect them to the module channel terminals.
Note: The diagram on this page shows the 458M1 chassis. Cable connection is similar for the 458M2 and 458M3.
2. Connect power and load cables to module sockets

3.1 DALI connections
If connecting to a DIGIDIM system, use the DA+ and DA– terminals of the DALI connector.
3.2 Override connections
If you want to provide output level override functionality, wire a switch between the ‘0 V’ and ‘OVR’ terminals of the SDIM
or DMX connector. Switch closure sets the light level of all output channels to the override level.
3.3 SDIM and DMX connections
If connecting to a Helvar Imagine system, plug in the connector of the SDIM/DMX cable loom to the SDIM/DMX
terminals. This is attached to the DIN-rail inside the chassis.
If the module is at the end of the SDIM/DMX cable, wire a link between the ‘TERM’ and ‘B’ connections of the SDIM/DMX
terminals to enable the cable termination.
Note:
The module can be used for 0–10 V Source,
1–10V Sink, PWM+, PWM– (reverse), DALI
Broadcast, and DSI®Control.

3.4 Output control connections
Connect the required output control connections to the output control terminals of the module. The following diagram
shows an example.
4. Replace the chassis cover
Replace the chassis cover, using the original screws.
5. Power on the unit
Power up the module by switching on the MCBs.
The Control Panel LCD Display will show the Main Display Screen. For details, see ’Main Display Screen’ on page6.
3. Make control connections
Refer to the connection diagrams on the previous page.
Ensure that all the necessary control connections have been made correctly and securely.
Warning: Ensure segregation between mains cabling and other connections.
DALI and 1–10 V ballast connections must be considered as potentially live.

Control Panel
Control Panel functions
The Control Panel is used to view and adjust:
• Relay and output channel levels
• Various relay and output parameters
SDIM connection
Example: to Helvar 920 Routers, or to Helvar TouchPanel.
Adjust the following parameters with the Control Panel:
• Channel pairing
• SDIM addresses
Other parameters can be set using Designer software.
DMX connection
Example: to Helvar 920 Routers, or to third party lighting
desk.
Adjust the following parameters with the Control Panel:
• DMX addresses
• Channel pairing
• Output mode
• Minimum fade time
• Override level
• Switch-on level
Other parameters can be set using Designer software.
DALI connection
Example: to Helvar 920 Routers.
Adjust the following parameters with the Control Panel:
• Channel pairing
• Minimum fade time
• Override level
Other parameters can be set using Designer software.
Control Panel
DALI standalone connection with
Toolbox software
Adjust these parameters with the Control Panel:
• Channel pairing
• Minimum fade time
• Output mode

Other parameters can be set using Toolbox software.
DALI standalone connection
This allows basic out-of-box scene recall, modify and
store from DALI control panels. Other settings can be
changed with the module Control Panel.
Note: If SDIM or DMX is connected and you change
lighting levels or recall scenes on the
Control Panel, then, after a short period of time,
the levels revert to those being sent by the SDIM/
DMX master.
