DMX Boss Connection Examples:
This section shows three different ways the DMX Boss can be connected to lighting zones.
Using XLR Connection Ports: for DMX enabled fixtures such as Wall Washers
1 Begin by connecting the DMX lights to the DMX Boss by connecting them using the XLR ports on the top of the DMX Boss. A total of 32 channels are available, for a total of 8 separate lighting zones (4 color channels in each zone, for colors such as red, green, blue and white). The XLR connections on the lighting fixtures can be connected in a row. On each lighting zone, set the channel for that zone (refer to the user manual for the products used for the correct channel numbers). The DMX Boss comes ready to use without pairing or programming as each of the 8 zone buttons are pre-programmed to recognize each zone (button 1 uses the first 4 channels, 1-4, button 2 uses the next set , 5-8, and so on).

Using the RJ45 Output: for 4 Channel Lighting Fixtures such as LED Light Strips
2 The data port plug can be used on the left side of the DMX Boss to connect directly to DMX controlled lights or can be used with RGB-W lights using a receiver to convert DMX signals to 4 channel RGB-W signals. To connect directly to DMX controlled lights, plug in the data cable into the DMX Boss and then plug into the DMX controlled lighting fixtures in a row. On each lighting zone, set the channel for that zone (refer to the user manual for the products used for the correct channel numbers). The DMX Boss comes ready to use without pairing or programming as each of the 8 zone buttons are pre-programmed to recognize each zone (button 1 uses the first 4 channels, 1-4, button 2 uses the next set , 5-8, and so on). When connecting to RGB-W 4 channel lights, a receiver is required to convert DMX signals to 4 channel RGB-W signals (sold separately), and one receiver is required for each zone. To connect the receiver, please refer to the manual listed on the webpage for the 4 Channel DMX-RGB-W LED Controller.

on the slider – (see pic H)). This will turn off any colors on the fixture. Then you can slide the
first slider to get pure Red or the Second to get pure Green or third for pure blue. If you display
pure Red for example and then want to do pure Green, you will have to first clear the Red by
H
sliding it to 255 and back to 0 before sliding on the green, otherwise it will mix Red and Green
and give you yellow.
2. To produce other colors by mixing RGB, first clear any existing color on the fixture by sliding each

Zone/rooms/areas Assignment
The controller is designed to control 8 zones with 4 DMX addresses in each. Each zone is assigned the 4 DMX addresses by default even if the LED fixture(s) in that zone use less than 4 addresses.
Therefore, Zone 1 uses DMX addresses 1,2,3 and 4; Zone 2 uses the next 4 DMX addresses (5, 6, 7 and 8); and so forth (see table below). This allows you to control the LED fixture(s) in one zone completely independent from another zone.
An unlimited number of DMX LED fixtures can be placed and controlled in each zone as long as they are all connected and given the same DMX starting address of the zone.

Detailed Remote Functionality:
You can fine-tune the colors by dimming up and down individual colors. Once you select the zone or zones to be changed, use the color selection buttons as follows: 1. You will first make sure that you have used the color wheel to select a color, for example red. 2. By pressing shortly the RED button on the interface you will turn ON/Off that particular color. 3. If you press the RED button and then the BLUE Button you will get a Purple color (RED+BLUE). If you want to control only the blue,
you will need to press the RED button to turn it off. The same applies for the rest of the buttons.
Color Fine Tuning
Creating a custom color:
Imagine we want to do a very intense purple color. First you will press the zone selection to select the zone you want to change, and then you will press the RED button and after that you will press the Blue. This will give us a normal purple. If we want to make it more intense, we need to remove or dim down the Blue color. We can do this by pressing and keeping pressed the BLUE Button. This will start dimming down the blue, while maintaining the RED at 100% Level.
In a nutshell: Short press of color buttons= ON/OFF that color. Long Press of color button=Dim up or down that color.

Creating your own color programs:
Each zone or receiver can memorize 6 different programs using your optional remote. You can memorize solid colors or colorchanging programs (up to 6 on each zone) The 6 Programs that you can save for each zone can be a mix of solid colors or color changing programs.
To save specific colors
1. Select the zone you want to save the color into by using the zone selection buttons (1-6) 2. Using the color wheel or the color buttons (See creating custom colors) define the color you wish to use. 3. Once that is done, press the Save button for 2-3 seconds. After that we can memorize up to 6 different color or color effects into
each zone, and each zone can memorize up to 6 different solid colors or changing color effects or a mix of them. 4. Therefore we must now assign the color chosen to any of the 6 memory slots available for each zone. We will use the same buttons
we use to select a zone, but this time they will be used to select a memory slot inside each zone. Assign the color to any of the 6 buttons by pressing any number from 1 to 6. You can save more solid colors or programs by repeating steps 1-4 in this section.
