Safety & Warnings
Do not install with power applied to device.- Do not expose the device to moisture.
- Read the instructions prior to installation.
Installation
Wiring Diagram
Install a 120 Ω, 0.5 W resistor between Out + and Out – ports on the last device of the DMX run.
- System with an external DMX controller
1.1) Total load of each LED receiver is not over 10 A
1.2) Total load of each LED receiver is over 10 A
- Standalone system
2.1) Total load of each LED receiver is not over 10 A
2.2) Total load of each LED receiver is over 10 A
Device Setup
To configure the settings, press the buttons in the following sequence accordingly:
- Up / Down — select a menu entry
- Enter — access the menu entry, the display flashes
- Up / Down — set the value
- Back — confirm the value and exit the menu entry.
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 :
