Operation

Output current setting

  • Please select the correct current firstly when the LED load is disconnected.
  • Long press M and ◀and◀ key in the same time for 2s, prepare for setup output current.
  • For DA4-C(150-500mA): short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch 150mA(“C15”), 200mA(“C20”), 250mA(“C25”), 300mA (“C30”), 350mA(“C35”), 400mA(“C40”) , 450mA(“C45”) or 500mA(“C50”).
  • For DA4-C(350-1200mA): short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch 350mA(“C35”), 500mA(“C50”), 600mA(“C60”), 700mA(“C70”),800mA(“C80”), 900mA(“C90”) , 1050mA(“CA5”) or 1200mA(“CC0”).
  • Press M key or timeout 10s, quit output current setting.

Setting the light type

  • The first time you use it, you need to set the light type according to your application needs.
  • Press the M button for 2 seconds to set the light type.
  • Press the ◀or ▶ key to switch between the single color (“C-1”), dual color (“C-2”), RGB (“C-3”) or RGBW (“C-4”) light type.
  • Short press the M button or timeout for 10 seconds to exit the light type setting.

Light type setting instructions:

  • When setting C-1 type, DT6 dimming, 4-channel output is the same.
  • When setting C-2 type, DT8-TC, 3/4 LED channel and 1/2 LED channel output is the same. When setting C-3 type, DT8-RGB, the 4th channel does not output.
  • When setting C-4 type, DT8-RGBW, 4 channels are output independently.

Set DALI Address via buttons

  • Long press ◀ or ▶ key for 2s, prepare for set the start DALI address, then press ◀ or ▶ key to set the start DALI address.
  • Short press M key or timeout 10s, quit start DALI address setting.
  • The start DALI address can be manually assigned from 00-63-FF.
  • by factory defaults, no DALI address is assigned for the dimmer, and digital display shows “AFF”.

DALI address assigned by DALI masters

  • DALI address can also be assigned by DALI Master controller automatically.
  • Please refer to user manuals of compatible DALI Masters for specific operations.
  • The digital display will show “AAU” When the DALI master is assigning address.
  • After address is assigned, the digital display will show the start DALI address”Axx”, xx is from 00 to 63.
  • Using DALI master assign address may result in discontinuous address, the digital display will show the start DALI address”Uxx”.

Set PWM frequency

  • Long press M & ◀ key for 2s, prepare for set PWM frequency.
  • Short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch between 1000Hz(“F10”), 2000Hz(“F20”), 4000Hz(“F40”) or 8000Hz(“F80”). Higher PWM frequency, will cause lower output current, higher power noise, but more suitable for camera (No flickers for video).
  • Short press M key or timeout 10s, quit PWM frequency setting.

Restore factory default parameter

  • Long press ◀ and ▶ key for 2s, restore factory default parameter, display ”RES”.
  • Factory default parameter: no DALI address is assigned, DT8-RGBW, PWM frequency is 4000Hz.
  • Long press M & ▶ key for 2s, enter fast self-testing, the output channel will be on orderly then all on.

Safety & Warnings

  • DO NOT install with power applied to device.
  • DO NOT expose the device to moisture.
