JL-712B2A2 Zhaga Book 18 Casambi Bluetooth Mesh Controller with 0-10V Dimming, Light and Microwave Sensing

Product Details:

Confirmed supply current: 35 mA at 12 VDC or 25 mA at 24 VDC. These values supersede conflicting power-consumption figures in older parameter charts. Confirm the complete driver or auxiliary supply capacity for the selected installation.

JL-712B2A2 Selection FAQs

Is JL-712B2A2 a Casambi controller or a generic Bluetooth Mesh controller?

The product description identifies Casambi Bluetooth mesh communication and configuration through the Casambi app. Confirm the supplied firmware, commissioning procedure and gateway requirements for remote control; compatibility should not be assumed for a generic Bluetooth Mesh system.

Does the Zhaga interface mean this controller uses DALI dimming?

This model lists 0-10V dimming and a 12-24VDC supply. Match the socket pin assignment, auxiliary power supply and LED driver control input. The connector description alone does not establish DALI or D4i compatibility.

What should be checked before installation outdoors?

Confirm the current sensing coverage diagram, installation height, app settings and IP66 assembly requirements for the selected controller and socket. Request current model-specific certification records for the listed CE, Zhaga and RoHS claims before specifying the product.

Product Summary

The JL-712B2A2 light controller product is a smart latch type light controller developed based on the Zhaga Book-18 interface standard. It uses a combination of light sensing and microwave sensing sensors, can output 0-10V dimming signals, and support Casambi Bluetooth mesh communication network. It can be controlled by Bluetooth near field, or be controlled remotely by Bluetooth gateway.You can configure parameters and scenarios using the Casambi APP . This light controller is suitable for lighting scenarios such as roads, lawns, courtyards, parks, parking lots, factories, warehouses, etc.

CertificationsCE, ZHAGA, ROHS as printed in datasheet 2406V1 — manufacturer declaration, no certificate number is given in this datasheet. ZHAGA here refers to the Book-18 interface; it is not a Zhaga-D4i or DALI-2 certification of this model. Ask us for the current certificate scope for your order.

Parameter notes for this datasheet edition

Datasheet 2406V1 prints both the supply current (35 mA at 12 VDC, 25 mA at 24 VDC) and power-dissipation figures of <0.385 W (12 V) and <0.55 W (24 V). Use the confirmed supply current above as the selection basis. The power-dissipation figures are a datasheet statement, not a measured consumption value, and this page does not repeat them as a selection figure.

Pin assignment

PinDefinitionFunction
112–24 VDCPower input
2GND / DIM−Power input
3DIM+ (0–10 V+)Signal output
4DIM+ (0–10 V+)Signal output

Pins 3 and 4 both output the dimming positive simultaneously. When wiring the socket, either one can be connected to the driver, or both can be connected at the same time. Any unused pin should be insulated. The mating socket determines the conductor colours: in the 700 series socket arrangement shown in the wiring diagram below, brown carries 12–24 VDC, grey carries GND/DIM−, and black or blue carries 0–10 V+.

Recommended socket models

ModelFeature (as listed in datasheet 2406V1)
JL-700Normal
JL-700WSelf plugging (no-wire connection)
JL-700SShort threaded
JL-700TProbe
JL-710AC power

The socket is a separate item and is not supplied with the controller. The controller and the socket are separate scopes of supply: this page covers the controller only. JL-700S and JL-700T have no dedicated page on this site at present — ask us for their drawings and lead time.

Supply scope and what to confirm before ordering

ItemWhat it means for your order
ControllerJL-712B2A2 with the firmware and Casambi network configuration agreed for the project.
SocketOrdered separately from the recommended list above; the socket’s pin arrangement must match pins 1–4.
Driver0–10 V control input plus an auxiliary 12–24 VDC output, or a separate auxiliary supply. If the driver’s auxiliary negative is separate from its dimming negative, the two must be shorted and connected to pin 2.
Driver minimum outputThe controller cannot cut the driver’s AC supply. Choose a driver whose output current falls close to 0 mA at minimum dimming, otherwise the luminaire may not switch off completely.
GatewayNear-field Bluetooth control works from the Casambi app. Remote control and site-wide scenes need a Casambi-compatible gateway; confirm the model for your project.

Wiring diagram

Note: Either the black or blue line can be selected, and it can also be connected in parallel at the same time.

Installation

The interface of the product itself has been fool-proof design, the installation only need to tighten the controller directly to the rotatable base, as shown in Figure clockwise after insertion.

Wiring and installation notes

Condensed from datasheet 2406V1, pages 8–9. These are the conditions that most often decide whether the product works in a given luminaire.

  1. Auxiliary and dimming negatives. If the negative pole of the driver’s auxiliary supply is separate from the negative pole of the dimming interface, short them together and connect to controller pin 2.
  2. Lamp types. The controller is intended mainly for LED luminaires. Tungsten-filament lamps and other broad-spectrum lamps may switch off again after switching on.
  3. The controller cannot interrupt AC. It has no ability to cut the driver’s AC supply, so the driver must draw close to 0 mA at minimum dimming. Otherwise the luminaire may not turn off completely.
  4. Dimming signal only. The controller outputs a dimming signal only; it does not carry the power load of the driver or the light source. Do not use it to size the load.
  5. Do not block the light window with fingers when testing. Light can pass between fingers and the lamp may fail to switch.
  6. Keep metal out of the microwave path. Metal obstructions in the detection angle seriously reduce sensing performance.
  7. Outdoor false triggering. Rain and moving foliage can trigger the sensor outdoors.
  8. Avoid pendant mounting. Hanging installation lets the product swing and can cause false triggering.
  9. Detection varies with site conditions. Sensing performance depends on the installation environment, the luminaire, and the size and speed of the target, so the actual detection range may differ from the chart.
  10. Microwave warm-up. Motion detection can only be triggered up to 5 seconds after the microwave module is powered on.

Detection coverage: datasheet 2406V1 gives a maximum mounting height of 15 m and an induction radius of ≥10 m. The coverage chart plotted for 15 m mounting is not circular — the plotted radius is narrowest on the 60°–120° side and widest around 180°–210°. Plan the mounting position against the chart, not against a single radius figure.
