DMX Operation 

The 4Pak-D dimmer channels can operate under the control of an external DMX source, such 
as a lighting control console. Plug a DMX cable into the input socket on the backpanel of the 
4Pak-D and connect the other end of the cable to a DMX source.  

To set the DMX channel:  

1.

 

Press the Display Mode button if necessary to put the Display into DMX mode. 

2.

 

Using the [+] or [-] buttons choose the required DMX start channel. 

3.

 

Press the Enter button to record.  

The dimmer will now be controlled by the DMX source with dimmer output 1 assigned to the 
DMX start channel and dimmer outputs 2, 3, and 4 controlled by the next three consecutive 
DMX channels.  

While under DMX control, the dimmer will still function normally, and will output the higher 
of the DMX or the fader, flash, chaser and scene controls (highest takes precedence). 

If DMX signal is lost the 4Pak-D will hold the last received value for 10 minutes, after which 
the DMX values will be driven to 0. The front panel controls will continue to operate as 
normal. 

 

Linking  

Up to four 4Pak-D dimmers can be linked together so that the factory-programmed chase 
sequences, the user chase sequences, and the scenes to expand over all linked units as if they 
were on one large unit. 4Pak-Ds are linked with a single master controlling up to three slave 
units via standard DMX cables. 

To Link 4Pak-Ds:  

1.

 

Nominate a particular 4Pak-D as a Master. On this unit plug a DMX cable from 
the DMX output to the DMX input of the next unit. 

2.

 

Continue linking the output from one 4Pak to the input of the next until all 
4Paks have been connected. 

3.

 

Turn the power on to all 4Pak-Ds 

except the Master

4.

 

Set the DMX address of the first 

slave

 4Pak-D to 

5

; the 

second

 to 

9

 (if present), 

and the 

third 

to 

13

 (if present). 

5.

 

On the Master 4Pak-D, press and hold the “Display Mode” button. 

6.

 

Turn the power on to the Master 4Pak-D. 

7.

 

Release the Display mode button. 

When Chases and Scenes are now be programmed on the Master 4Pak-D they will include 
levels from both the Master and Slave units. All data is stored in the Master. If the system is 
disconnected/moved the units should be reconnected with the same 4Pak-D as Master if the 
programming is to be retained. 

 

Other Functions  

To display the internal\ software version, press and hold the Exit button. 

To display the internal temperature, press and hold the “-“ and  Exit buttons together.
