Device Setup

To configure the settings, press the buttons in the following sequence accordingly:

1. Up / Down — select a menu entry
2. Enter — access the menu entry, the display flashes
3. Up / Down — set the value
4. Back — confirm the value and exit the menu entry.

Operating mode setting

Set the device to Dependent or Controller mode first, before you configure other settings:

= Dependent mode
In a system with an external DMX controller, set all DMX2PWM Dimmer 4CH devices to run1 mode.
In a standalone system (no external DMX controller), set all dependent DMX2PWM Dimmer 4CH devices to run1 mode.
= Controller mode (standalone)
In a standalone system, set the controlling DMX2PWM Dimmer 4CH device to run2 mode.

 After setting the mode, a restart of the device is required.

Restore Factory Defaults

To restore the default settings of the device, press and hold down Back + Enter together at the same time until the display turns off. Then release the buttons, the system resets. The digital display turns on again, all settings are restored to the default settings.

RDM Discovery Indication

When using RDM to discover the device, the digital display will flash and the connected lights will also flash at the same frequency to indicate. Once the display stops flashing, the connected light also stops flashing.
