Device Setup
To configure the settings, press the buttons in the following sequence accordingly:
1. Up / Down --- select a menu entry 2. Enter --- access the menu entry, the display flashes 3. Up / Down --- set the value 4. Back --- confirm the value and exit the menu entry.
Back Enter Up Down
Operating mode setting:
Set the device to Dependent or Controller mode first, before you configure other settings:
= Dependent mode In a system with an external DMX controller, set all DMX2PWM Dimmer 4CH devices to run1 mode. In a standalone system (no external DMX controller), set all dependent DMX2PWM Dimmer 4CH devices to run1 mode. = Controller mode (standalone) In a standalone system, set the controlling DMX2PWM Dimmer 4CH device to run2 mode.
! After setting the mode, a restart of the device is required.
a) run1 :
DMX signal indicator : When a DMX signal input is detected, the indicator on the display following the turns red: XXX . If there is no DMX signal input, the indicator does not turn on and the character flashes.
1. DMX address setting: Menu XXX . Default setting is 001 (A001).
2. DMX personality setting:

4. Output PWM frequency setting: Menu XX. Default setting is 4 kHz (PF04). Select the PWM frequency: 00 = 0.5 kHz, 01 = 1 kHz, 02 = 2 kHz ... 25 = 25 kHz, 35 = 35 kHz.
5. PWM output resolution bit setting: Menu XX. Default setting is 16 bit (bt16). Select between 08 = 8 bit and 16 = 16 bit.
6. Startup behavior setting:
Menu
X. Default setting is "hold last frame" (Sb-0).
Set the startup behavior of the device. The startup behavior is the state of the device after a
restart or when it is offline:
