Juno JFX™ Series DMX 4-Channel Decoder

WARNING: This DMX Decoder should only be powered by ACCUDRIVE™ JFX Series Class 2, 24VDC Drivers. Use of non-ACCUDRIVE™ drivers may damage DMX decoder and void warranty. See Drivers & DMX Decoder Spec sheet for more detailed information. Failure to follow instructions will void product warranty.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Maximum of 10x DMX Decoders may be connected via RJ45 DMX connection ports (DMX Output). DMX signal may be extended further by installing a DMX 8-way splitter after the 10th DMX Decoder.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1. (DMX - System Installation)

Once mounting locations are determined for the LED driver junction box, DMX Decoder, and LED strips refer to DMX wiring guide (Figure 1). CAT5 / RJ45 data cables are recommended for transmitting DMX-512 signal. XLR-3 cables may be installed but require an additional adapter for connecting to DMX decoder.

Figure 1: DMX Wiring Diagram

Diagram shows a 120V supply connected to a Class 2 LED Driver within a junction box. The LED driver output (Red +, Black -) connects to the DMX Decoder's DC Input (V+, GND). The DMX Decoder's DMX Input (Data IN, GND) connects to a DMX Controller via CAT5/RJ45 cable. The DMX Decoder's DMX Output (Data OUT, GND) connects to an LED Strip (RGBW) via CAT5/RJ45 cable. The LED strip connections are shown as Red (CH1), Green (CH2), Blue (CH3), and White (CH4).

Step 2a. (DMX - Standard Operation)

Adjust the following settings using the 3 buttons on the DMX start channel to adjust the values of the DMX address. The decoder will control up to 512 channels (Figure 2).

  1. To set the DMX address, press and hold 'button 1' for 2 seconds until numbers on the display flash.
  2. Select an address based on the functionality of the master DMX controller. Once an address is selected, the remaining 3 channels will be utilized digitally. Ex. If decoder is addressed to 001 on the display, then CH1-001, CH2 – 002, CH3 – 003, CH4 – 004.
  3. Once display stops flashing, DMX address is set.

Figure 2: DMX Start Channel Display

The display shows three digits, with buttons labeled 1, 2, and 3 below them. The display indicates the current DMX address being set.

Step 2b. (DMX - Advanced Operation)

Advanced operation should only be performed by professional DMX installers. The DMX channels can be adjusted, which allows the user to conserve DMX addresses that may be wasted when programming a large DMX installation. The factory default is 4CH: 4 channels (address 001 – 004). See charts for 1CH, 2CH, 3CH, & 4CH settings (Figure 3).

Figure 3: DMX Channel Configuration Charts

1CH (001 ONLY) 2CH (001-002 ONLY) 3CH (001-003 ONLY) 4CH (001 ONLY)
CHANNEL ADDRESS CHANNEL ADDRESS CHANNEL ADDRESS CHANNEL ADDRESS
CH1 001 CH1 001 CH1 001 CH1 001
CH2 001 CH2 002 CH2 002 CH2 002
CH3 001 CH3 001 CH3 003 CH3 003
CH4 001 CH4 002 CH4 001 CH4 004

Step 3. (DMX – Adjust Channel Settings)

  1. Press and hold buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously for 2 seconds until ‘cH' flashes on the display (Figure 2 & Figure 4).
  2. Press button 1 to choose 1, 2, 3, or 4 channel outputs (Figure 5).
  3. Press and hold any button for greater than 2 seconds to set channel output.

Step 4. (DMX – Adjusting PWM Frequency & Dimming Type)

PWM frequency and dimming type can be adjusted for special applications.

  1. Press and hold buttons 1 and 3 simultaneously for 2 seconds until 'P_c' flashes on display (Figure 2 & Figure 6).
  2. Press button 1 to choose PWM output type (Figure 7).
  3. Press button 3 to choose dimming type (Figure 7).
  4. Once display stops flashing, PWM and dimming are set.

Figure 6: Display showing 'P_c'

Figure 7: PWM & Dimming Settings Table

PWM Output (P) Dimming Output (c)
1 = 1500Hz 1 = Logarithmic Dimming
2 = 200Hz 2 = Linear Dimming

Note: RGBW installations will only operate correctly with consistent color output when programmed to P1 (1500Hz PWM Output) and c2 (Linear Dimming).
