Quick Start Guide
1.
Connect the
5
x
8A
Dimmer to your DMX controller by using either the DMX
nip ev
XLRM input, an RJ-45 DMX input/
output,
or the DMX input/output terminal block. DMX
out can be either the 5 pin
XLRF output, the RJ-45 input/output or the
DMX
input/output terminal block.
2.
Connect your load to the output channels using the screw terminals. For single color LED tape with two connection wires,
connect the V- (black) wire to any one of the four output channel terminals and the V+ (red) wire to its corresponding
terminal. When using multi-color LED Tape, connect as follows: CH1-red, CH2 green, CH3 blue, CH4 fourth color
htf 5HC ,
color.
Note*- The V+ (common) circuit for multicolor tape will be connected to either a black or white wire.
To determine
which is correct, look at one of the sets of contacts on the tape itself and note which color wire is connected to the one
labeled (+).
Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 8A per channel.
3.
Connect the appropriate power supply providing 12-24VDC to the power input screw terminals. Be sure not to exceed the
20A maximum rating on any one screw terminal.
Note*-The size of the power supply must match the tape being used in
both
voltage and watts.
5X8A
’s maximum output power rating is: 480W (12V), and 960W (24V).
The
QolorFLEX™ 5
x
8A
Dimmer can control a full 40A of
LED tape spread
8A each.
This allows the control of
unique combinations such as RGB tape (three channels)
and bi-color tape (two channels), or RGBX tape (four
channels) and a single color tape (one channel) together
in one unit. The
5X8A
uses constant voltage technology
which ensures consistent full range dimming that is
especially important at low end light levels.
An easy to read onboard display and four button user
interface allows selection and control of six functions:
setting DMX addresses, setting quantity of DMX
channels, selecting 8 or 16 bit output resolution, setting
PWM frequency (500Hz to 30KHz), setting output
Quick Start Instructions:
dimming curve values for matching the dimming curves of
other dimmers in use,
setting the device’s
operating
profile, and setting stand alone modes.
The
5X8A
Dimmer
is also RDM capable.
The unit requires a separate power supply providing input
voltage of 12-24VDC. The maximum current load per
channel is 8A with a maximum device output of 40A.
The
5X8A
Dimmer is designed to operate perfectly with
City Theatrical’s QolorFLEX LED tape, the LED tape of
professionals on Broadway, network television, and
architectural lighting installations.
