F-Drive R12 and W1 Wiring
Introduction
This guide covers wiring considerations for the F-Drive series of drivers, including F-Drive R12 and
F-Drive W1 Drivers and wiring schemes with and without the B-Box4. F-Drive series drivers offer
centralized control of ArcSystem Navis luminaires, ArcSystem Pro One-Cell luminaires, and third-party
fixtures. Output wiring requirements and methods vary depending on the load and the chosen wire
type. For more information on compatible products, see the resources below.
F-Drive System Design Tool
The F-Drive System Design Tool
Drive-System-Design-Tool.aspx) allows you to design an F-Drive R12 rack unit or F-Drive W1 driver
with different luminaires, breakout boxes, cable lengths, and other system components.
LED Dimming Compatibility Database
The LED Dimming Compatibility Database (etcconnect.com/compatibility/) is a searchable list of
devices that ETC has tested for compatibility with ETC dimming and control systems.

- Page 1 F-Drive R12 and W1 Wiring Introduction This guide covers wiring considerations for the F-Drive series of drivers, including F-Drive R12 and F-Drive W1 Drivers and wiring schemes with and without the B-Box4. F-Drive series drivers offer centralized control of ArcSystem Navis luminaires, ArcSystem Pro One-Cell luminaires, and third-party fixtures.
- Page 2 Navis RGBW luminaires are not self-terminating. You must terminate the last Navis RGBW luminaire in line with a 120 Ω resistor. To purchase extra RJ45 terminators, please contact your ETC customer service representative and request part number N4086. F-Drive R12 and W1 Wiring...
- Page 3 ETC Reference Guide F-Drive R12 and W1 Wiring Category-Type Cable Requirements ArcSystem Navis Luminaires typically connect to the F-Drive W1 Driver or F-Drive R12 output card via Category-type cable terminated to RJ45 connectors. If you are installing a B-Box4 between the driver and the luminaire, install Category-type cable between the driver and B-Box4 and between the B-Box4 and the luminaire.
