Advanced Features
The LumenDimM2micro is a multifaceted device for users of all experience
levels. The features below can be explored further at

:
•
Using a small adaptor cable, the LumenDimM2micro can be used as a
wireless data receiver to deliver DMX to other devices. It can also be used
as a wired DMX dimmer: the miniplug DMX port becomes an input when the
device is not linked to a transmitter.
•
When using the LumenDimM2micro for cinema (motion picture capture),
PWM frequencies can be adjusted for the smoothest dimming without
banding or other artifacts.
•
The LumenDimM2micro has a wide variety of dimmer curves that can ring
telephones, position servo motors, and more.
•
Usi
ng the RC4 Flkr Effects Engine™, you can create many unique effects
including candle flicker, analog tv screen noise, welding spark, and much
more.

Caring for Your LumenDimM2micro
•
The LumenDimM2micro is a circuit-board assembly without a protective
case.
This makes it more sensitive to damage by static discharge than
enclosed devices.
When wiring and installing this device in an application,
take appropriate precautions for handling exposed electronics, including
a grounded work mat and static discharge strap.
Failure caused by static
damage is not covered under warranty.
•
The LumenDimM2micro should not be used with AC power or with any
voltage higher than 35VDC.
Doing so will severely damage the device and
is extremely dangerous for the operator.
•
Do not exceed the maximum total power handling of the
LumenDimM2micro, which is 6A. That is 72W at 12V, 144W at 24V, shared
across the two dimmer channels.
•
Always use a fuse or circuit breaker at the source of power and always use
an appropriate wire size for the fuse rating. For example, if using a 3A fuse,
use wire that can safely carry 3A.
•
The LumenDimM2micro should be kept away from excessive heat, cold, dust
and moisture.
• Do not immerse in water or other fluids.
•
Dimmers generate heat when operating. Allow space for air to move around
the unit for cooling, especially when using high-current loads.
The LumenDimM2micro is a high-power, high-current device. Failing to
observe appropriate safety precautions can result in fire or other risk. RC4
Wireless cannot be held responsible or liable in such cases. Operate the
LumenDimM2micro at your own risk.
