To explain further the function of this PCB interface

The EVG card has two purposes.

The first purpose is to act as a 0 Volt switching circuit, this means when the 0-10V DC signal input reaches 0VDC the 110V relays are switched off meaning your drivers and lamp becomes 110V isolated for true off and safety.

The other purpose is to act as an interface between the GHL ProfiLux controller and your drivers 0-10V control circuit.

The power cables from the driver and the dimming cables from the driver all connect to the EVG card. The EVG card then connects to an L port on the profilux controller with the supplied cable.

It controls 2 channels per EVG card (bascially 2 colors, white and blue) and you can have 3 Mean Well drivers per channel.

It needs to be mounted in a water tight area since the unit its self is not water proof. So you would just house it separately and use some of our connection extenders to run power down to the LEDs

Ok I get it, thanks guys. I have a Profilux 2EX, 1 regular power bar & a dimmable power bar. Is the dimmable bar useable in this situation at all?

No, the drivers are 0-10V dc signal dimmed

I see.....so the dimmable bar is only good for T5 with dimmable ballasts then?

I have 2 dimmable T5 ballasts & WP end caps but don't want to use any T5s any longer.

Yea unfortunately the dim powerbar will not dim LED ballasts they have a separate dim circuit
