Revision History

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Encolor T10. The Encolor T10 is a wall mount interface designed for directly controlling RGB, RGBW, CT or intensity-only DMX lighting fixtures. It does that through an easy to use soft-touch surface with haptic feedback.
An ideal solution for a stand-alone DMX installation of a single DMX-512 group, as the Encolor T10 takes care of the daily control of the light fixtures.

This manual discusses installing and configuration of the unit, as well as how to control the lights in different scenarios.
The Encolor T10 needs to know which type of fixtures are connected to the DMX port. One type of fixture can be in use at any one time. Entering this data is called patching and this is discussed in chapter 2.1.

Chapter 3 discusses how to operate the device. Including saving and recalling your favourite light setting.

Configuration and installation

Configuration

In order for the Encolor T10 to know which DMX channel to use for which trait, it is needed to set one of the 8 preconfigured ’personalities’. In the table below, you can match your situation to the correct DIP switch setting on the back of the unit.

Installation

Power

The Encolor T10 requires a DC power supply unit (PSU) between 9 and 24 Volt with a minimum of 500mA. The DC connector is a two-pin screw terminal.

Supplied is a 12VDC PSU with attached terminal connector on the 12V side.
Be advised that the connector for mains power will have to be supplied by the customer. The PSU is rated for 100-240VAC input.

DMX

The DMX cable is connected to the Encolor T10 via the free slots on the screw terminal that is already connected to the power supply. The correct wiring is also noted on the circuit board. See figure 2.3 for the terminal connector on the Encolor T10.

Mounting

The Encolor T10 is wall mounted. The unit fits directly on standard flush mounted gang boxes. See figure 2.4. Mount the backplate to the gang box or wall with four screws (not supplied). Make sure to take note of the correct orientation of the backplate. Make sure power and DMX cabling are in place in the gang box, and correctly attached to the supplied screw terminal. On the inside of the backplate you will find a screw to secure the Encolor T10 to the backplate. Connect the terminal to its counterpart on the back of the Encolor T10, and push the push the unit gently over the backplate until it clicks in place. Then fasten the unit by using the screw in the downward facing side of the enclosure.

Operation

How to choose your lighting, and store and recall a favourite. The interface changes automatically, depending on the personality set with the DIP switches. Not all components are always available, apart from intensity and the storing and recalling of the favourite. This availability depends on the chosen personality. For example: When set to personality 1, Intensity, then Colour and Colour Temperature can not be set or altered.

The main components, are:

Intensity
Colour
Colour temperature

Saturation
Favourite store and recall

Intensity

To control intensity, touch the intensity icon (fig. 3.1). The Encolor T10 will show a gradient of white light around the control wheel, which is now set to change the intensity

Colour

To control Colour, touch the colour icon. The Encolor T10 will show a ring of coloured light around the control wheel, which is now set to change the colour.

Colour Temperature

To control Colour Temperature, tap the colour icon until you see the Encolor T10 show a ring of cold to warm light around the control wheel. fig. 3.3 The wheel is now set to control the Colour Temperature.

Colour Saturation

To control Saturation, tap the colour icon until you see the Encolor T10 show a ring of chosen colour to white light around the control wheel. fig. 3.4 The wheel is now set to control the Colour Saturation.

Favourite, store and recall

The Encolor T10 can store the current setting to a favourite, to be recalled at a later moment. When the Star icon is touched and held for about 2 seconds, the setting is stored in its memory. The haptic feedback will confirm the action by pulsing twice in short succession.

To recall, all you need is a short press on the icon. This results in the change of the lights, and a short pulse in the panel as confirmation.
