LED Dim 12
Device Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more devices using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows of two or more devices set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the devices on a serial data link determines the number of devices
the data link can support.
Important: Devices on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard, no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 devices on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 30 devices

DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign DMX addresses, which is the first
channel with which the LED Dim will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the device has 48 channels.
When using multiple LED Dims, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first LED Dim should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second LED Dim
should be 1+48=49 (049); the DMX address of the third LED Dim should be 49+48=97 (097), etc.
Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each LED Dim
correctly. If two or more LED Dims are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all LED Dim devices, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the LED Dim will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
If it does not, the problem may be:
●
The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the LED Dim.
● The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last device in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
