1. The LED quantity at each channel can be different, the decoder could auto check and output a proper voltage to each channel according to its LED quantities.
2. The decoder works on buck mode, the voltage of power supply should be greater than the total voltage of the seried LEDs. 3. An DMX signal amplifier is needed if more than 32 decoders are connected, or use overlong signal line,
signal amplification should not be more than 5 times continuously. 4. If the recoil effect occurs because of longer signal line or bad line quality, please try to connect 0.25W 90-120 terminal
resistor at the end of each DMX signal line.

Operation
System parameter setting Long press M and key in the same time for 2s, prepare for setup system parameter: decode mode, grey level, output PWM
frequence, output brightness curve, default output level, automatic blank screen. short press M key to switch six item. Decode mode: short press or key to switch 1/2/4 channel decode mode("d-1","d-2" or "d-4").When set as 1 channel
decode, the decoder occupy only 1 DMX address, and four channel output the same brightness of this DMX address. Grey level: short press or key to switch 8bit("b08") or 16 bit("b16"). choose 16 bit if the DMX master support 16 bit. Output PWM frequency: short press or key to switch 250Hz("F02"), 500Hz("F05"), 1000Hz("F10"), 2000Hz("F20"),
4000Hz("F40"), 8000Hz("F80") or 16000Hz("F16"). Output brightness curve: short press or key to switch linear curve("C-L") or logarithmic curve("C-E"). Default output level: press or key to change default 0-100% level ("d00" to "dFF" ) when no DMX input signal. Automatic blank screen: short press or key to switch enable ("bon") or disable("boF") automatic blank screen. Long press M key for 2s or timeout 10s, quit system parameter setting.
Output current setting
Please select the correct current firstly when the LED load is disconnected. Long press M and key in the same time for 2s, prepare for setup output current. For D4C-XE(700-1750mA): short press or key to switch 700mA("C07"), 900mA("C09"), 1050mA("C10"),
1200mA("C12"), 1400mA("C14"), 1500mA("C15") , 1600mA("C16") or 1750mA("C17"). Press M key or timeout 10s, quit output current setting.
DMX mode
Short press M key, when display 001~512, enter DMX mode.
Press or key to change DMX decode start address(001~512), long press for fast adjustment.
If there is a DMX signal input, will enter DMX mode automatically.
DMX Dimming: Each D4C-XE DMX decoder occupy 4 DMX address when connecting the DMX console. For example, the defaulted start address is 1, their corresponding relationship in the form:
DMX Console CH1 0-255 CH2 0-255 CH3 0-255
DMX mode (001~512)
DMX Decoder Output CH1 PWM 0-100% (LED R) CH2 PWM 0-100% (LED G) CH3 PWM 0-100% (LED B)
Stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode
CH4 0-255
CH4 PWM 0-100% (LED W)
Enter stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode only when DMX signal is disconnected or lost.
Short press M key, when display P01~P30, enter stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode.
Press or key to change dynamic mode number(P01~P30).
Each mode can adjust speed and brightness. Long press M key for 2s, prepare for setup mode speed, brightness, W channel brightness. Short press M key to switch three item.
Stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode (P01~P30)
Press or key to setup value of each item. Mode speed: 1-10 level speed(S-1, S-9, S-F).
Mode brightness: 1-10 level brightness(b-1, b-9, b-F). W channel brightness: 0-255 level brightness(400-4FF). Long press M key for 2s, or timeout 10s, quit setting.

(8 level) (10 level,100)
Stand-alone dimmer mode Enter stand-alone dimmer mode only when DMX signal is disconnected or lost. Short press M key, when display L-1~L-8, enter stand-alone dimmer mode. Press or key to change dimmer mode number(L-1~L-8). Each dimmer mode can adjust each channel brightness independently.
Long press M key for 2s, prepare for setup four channel brightness. Short press M key to switch four channel(100~1FF, 200~2FF, 300~3FF, 400~4FF). Press or key to setup brightness value of each channel. Long press M key for 2s, or timeout 10s, quit setting.
