Note: 1. 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. 2. 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"). Higher PWM frequency, will cause lower output current, higher power noise, but more suitable for camera(No flickers for video). 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.
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 D4-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 CH4 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) CH4 PWM 0-100% (LED W)
Stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode
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.

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.

Restore factory default parameter Long press and key for 2s, restore factory default parameter, display"RES". Factory default parameter: DMX decode mode, DMX decode start address is 1, four channel decode, 8 bit grey level,
2000Hz PWM frequence output, logarithmic brightness curve, output 100% level when no DMX input, RGB mode number is 1, dimmer mode number is 1, disable automatic blank screen.

Malfunctions analysis & troubleshooting
Malfunctions No light
Wrong color
Uneven intensity between front and rear,with voltage drop
Causes
1. No power. 2. Wrong connection or insecure.
1. Wrong connection of R/G/B/W wires. 2. DMX decode address error.
1. Output cable is too long. 2. Wire diameter is too small. 3. Overload beyond power supply capability. 4. Overload beyond controller capability.
Troubleshooting
1. Check the power. 2. Check the connection.
1. Reconnect R/G/B/W wires. 2. Set corrrect decode address.
1. Reduce cable or loop supply. 2. Change wider wire. 3. Replace higher power supply. 4. Add power repeater.
