Getting Redback Up and Running
•
Connect a power supply
The Redback dimmer must be fed from a suitably rated external circuit breaker.
In three phase installations the supply wiring and overload protection should be suitable for loads of
up to 40 Amps per phase. The supply must be in "wye" or "star" configuration with a neutral
connection rated for currents up to 75 Amps.
When configured for three phase operation, the ~1 ~2 ~3 LEDs indicate the availability of the
corresponding phase of mains supply. All three supply phases must be present for full operation of
all dimmers.
In single phase installations the supply wiring and overload protection should be suitable for the
maximum rating of the fitted input cable, but should not exceed 75 Amps.
When configured for single phase operation, input supply cabling is bridged and all three power
LEDs illuminate if the mains supply is available.
•
Reset the system to default setup
(optional)
Note:
Resetting the Redback clears all scene memories, sets all parameters (addresses, fade
curves, scenes, times, minimum and maximum levels, etc) back to their default values.
To reset Redback, hold down the (white)
Up
and
Down
arrow keys during power up.
•
Connect the DMX512 control data
DMX512 data is connected to the 5 pin DMX INPUT connector. If the RDM (ANSI E1) extensions
to DMX 512 are to be used to configure or control the Redback, all distribution devices between the
controller and the Redback must support bi-directional DMX 512 data.
If the Redback dimmer is the last device on a DMX signal chain, the DMX512 standard requires
that a termination device must be plugged in to the DMX THRU socket.
•
Set the DMX512 address
Use the red
Menu Up
S
and
Menu Down
T
keys to scroll to the Address [ADDR] menu function.
This menu provides two methods for allocating the DMX address of the dimmers.
Direct Addressing
Direct DMX mode address allows the address of the first Redback dimmer to be set to any slot in
the DMX universe where all dimmers can be allocated a valid address (Range 1-501).

arrow keys switch between the Direct DMX Address and Bank Address
modes
The
Up
and
Down
arrow keys increment and decrement the starting address.
Bank addressing
Bank mode allocates fixed blocks of addresses to the dimmers (see table 9). Selecting bank 1
allocates DMX addresses 1-12 to the Redback. Selecting bank 2 allocates DMX addresses 13-24,
etc. (Range 1-42).

Connect the loads
Redback can smoothly dim loads ranging from 60 Watts to 2,400 Watts at 240 Volts, or 27.5 Watts
to 1,100 Watts at 110 Volts (250 milliamps to 10 Amps).
•
Fade up the dimmers
•
Read the manual
(RTFM)
The Redback can do just about anything that you will ever want from a compact digital dimmer, but
you'll never know how to get the most from it if you don't read the manual.
