Product Usage Instructions
- Connect the QolorFLEX 25x3A Dimmer to your DMX controller by using either the DMX five pin XLR input or the RJ45 connectors. DMX out can be either the five pin XLR output or the RJ45 output.
- Connect the appropriate power supply providing 12-24VDC to the power input screw terminals. Note* – The size of the power supply(s) must match the tape being used in both voltage and watts. QolorFLEX 25x3A Dimmer’s maximum output power rating is 900W (12V) and 1800W(24V).
- To Set for DMX Power up unit. Address screen (Axxx) will be showing in DMX Mode (run).Connect the appropriate power supply providing 12-24VDC to the power input screw terminals. Note* – The size of the power supply(s) must match the tape being used in both voltage and watts. QolorFLEX 25x3A Dimmer’s maximum output power rating is 900W (12V) and 1800W(24V).
- In DMX Mode:
- DMX Mode: DMX Address, Quantity of channels controlled, 8 or 16 bit dimming, PMW frequency (00 to 30), Dimming curve 0.1 TO 9.9
- DMX Profiles (Set to 2.1 for 16 bit dimming)
- To Set for Stand Alone Set to Stand Alone Mode by pushing ‘Up’ button until run1 is shown. Run1 denotes DMX mode. Hit ‘Enter’ button, and ‘Up’ button to select run2 which denotes Stand Alone Mode. Cycle power to unit.
- In Stand Alone Mode:
- Stand Alone Mode (cycle power after changing Run mode)
- xx.xx = Output channel 2 level
- X = Chase 1-4
- DMX Start Address Sets the DMX address for the dimmer.
- Output Resolution – (Factory default is 16)
- Resolution determines the smoothness of the dimming. 8 bit uses 1 DMX channel, while 16 bit uses 2. Note: also change DMX profile to dp2.1
- AVAILABLE SETTINGS: 08 or 16
- PMW Frequency – (Factory default is 05)
- PMW frequency is used to tune the dimmer for flicker free operation when used with high speed camera. A high PMW value produces better dimming quality. Always perform a camera test for optimal results.
- AVAILABLE SETTINGS: 00 thru 30
- Values: 00 = 500Hz, 01 to 30 = 1kHz to 30kHz
- Dimming Curve – (Factory default is 1.5)
- The dimming Curve may be adjusted to affect the rate of rise and fall of the dimmer. Values less than 1.0 increase the rate, while values greater than 1.0 decrease the rate. (1.0 is linear)
