GENERAL FEATURES
- On / Off Function
- Select colours with touch wheel
- Independent control of RGB components and
white
- Reproduction of three colour temperatures of
white
- Adjustment of light intensity
- Automatic rainbow mode with speed regulation
- 4 DMX channels (ch. 1 : red, ch. 2: green, ch. 3:
blue, ch. 4: white)
Caution
Keep in mind that, while being 4-channels, the
control unit sends on the DMX bus copies of the
control values for R, G, B, W which cyclically
cover the first 40 channels, i.e. the base channels
1 , 2, 3, 4 are replicated on channels 5, 6, 7, 8 and
also on channels 9, 1 0, 11 , 1 2 and so on up to the
channels 37, 38, 39, 40. Check the settings of all
the DMX devices connected to this unit to verify
that the replicas on channels 5-40 do not lead to
unexpected results.
REAR PANEL
In the rear part of the control unit there is the 11 -
pins terminal block for connection of the power
line, the control lines to the LED devices, the DMX
line towards intelligent devices.
R G B W
: terminal block for connection of the
lines R, G, B of a full-colour LED device and the
return line of a white light LED device.
+ -
: the three terminals labelled with "+" are
connected in parallel and are used for connection
to the positive supply and for connection to the
common lines of LED devices (one for the full
colour and one for the white). The - terminal is
used to connect to the negative supply.
D+ D- -
: 3-pin terminal block for connection of
DMX control signal. The control unit generates a
signal in digital format DMX 51 2 (1 990 ). The
polarity of the control signals "hot pole" (+) "cold
pole" (-) and metal screen (GND) is shown on the
terminals respectively by the symbols D+, D-, -.
FRONTPANEL
Central signaling spy
: this little spy at the top of
the front panel indicates with its colour the status
of the unit: when the unit is in operation it lights up
in blue, when giving commands to the control unit
it flashes in blue, when the unit is in standby mode
it lights up in red.
On / Off Pad
: pressing this pad turns on and off
the unit, which turns on and off the lights
connected. When the controller is on, the lights
are on and the signaling spy is blue; when the unit
is in standby mode, the lights are off and the
signaling spy is red. A long press resets the
factory settings (colour of the light and colours in
memory); after restoration the signaling spy
flashes shortly in blue, while the lights are turned
on at full intensity (for RGB devices this
corresponds to white mix).
Brightness Pad
: sets the master level of
brightness for all devices connected to the control
unit (both RGB and white). A short touch has no
effect. Each prolonged pressure on this pad
increases or decreases the brightness level of the
