Wiring Diagram

Caution: Please carefully ensure all wire connections and polarities are correct and secure before applying power, otherwise this controller will be damaged. SKYDANCE-S1-D-AC-Triac-DMX-Dimmer-fig-3

Note: When calculating the maximum number of load lamps or drivers, the input power or input current parameters of a single lamp or driver must be used, the output power parameters can not be used.
In addition, the maximum surge current of the dimmer is 60A, the sum of surge current of multiple dimmable LED drivers should not exceed 2 times. otherwise, the product will be overloaded and damaged.

Operation

System parameter setting

Long press M and ◀ key for 2s, prepare for setup system parameter: decode mode, control method, default output level, minimum brightness curve, automatic blank screen. short press M key to switch ve item.
Decode mode: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch one-channel decode(”d-1″) or two-channel decode(”d-2”).
When set as 1 channel decode, the decoder occupy only 1 DMX address, and two channel output the same brightness of this DMX address.
Control method: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch forward-phase(”C-F”) or reverse-phase(”C-R”).
Minimum brightness: short press ◀ or ▶ key to set minimum brightness, from 1% to 40%(”b01″ to”b40″). You need set suitable minimum brightness to avoid flick.
Default output level: press ◀ or ▶ key to change default 0-100% level (”d00″ to “dFF” ) when no DMX input signal.
Automatic blank screen: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch enable(”bon”) or disable(”boF”) automatic blank screen.
Long press M key for 2s or timeout 10s, quit system parameter setting.

DMX mode

DMX Console	DMX Decoder Output
CH1 0-255	CH1 0-100%
CH2 0-255	CH2 0-100%

Short press M key, when display 001~512, enter DMX mode.
Press ◀ or ▶ key to change DMX decode start address(001~512), long press for fast adjustment.
If there is a DMX signal input, will enter DMX mode automatically.
DMX Dimming: Each S1-D DMX decoder occupy 2 DMX address when connecting the DMX console. For example, the defaulted start address is 1, their corresponding relationship in the form:
Short press M key, when display L-1~L-8, enter stand-alone dimmer mode.
Press ◀ or ▶ key to change dimmer mode number(L-1~L-8).
Each dimmer mode can adjust each channel brightness independently.
- Long press M key for 2s, prepare for setup two channel brightness.
- Short press M key to switch two channel(100-1FF, 200-2FF).
- Press ◀ or ▶ key to setup brightness value of each channel.
- Long press M key for 2s, or timeout 10s, quit setting.
Enter stand-alone dimmer mode only when DMX signal is disconnected or lost.

Stand-alone dynamic mode

Short press M key, when display P-1~P-4, enter stand-alone dynamic mode.
Press ◀ or ▶ key to change dynamic mode number(P-1~P-4).
Each mode can adjust speed and brightness.
- Long press M key for 2s, prepare for setup mode speed, brightness.
- Short press M key to switch two item. Press ◀ or ▶ key to setup value of each item. Mode speed: 1-10 level speed(S-1, S-9, S-F).
- Mode brightness: 1-10 level brightness(b-1, b-9, b-F).
- Long press M key for 2s, or timeout 10s, quit setting.
Enter stand-alone dynamic mode only when DMX signal is disconnected or lost.

Dynamic mode list

No.	Name
P-1	2ch light on/off synchronously
P-2	2ch single light on/off in sequence

P-4	2ch light fadein and fadeout in sequence

Restore factory default parameter

Long press ◀ and ▶ key for 2s, restore factory default parameter, display”RES”.
Factory default parameter: DMX decode mode, DMX decode start address is 1, two channel decode, rerverse-phase control, 10% minimum brightness, dimmer mode number is 1, dynamic mode number is 1, output 100% level when no DMX input, disable automatic blank screen.
