1. 1, 2 or 4 channel DMX dimmer pack.
2. 4-channel stand alone chaser.

Power Source

Before plugging your unit into the primary power source, please be sure the source voltage matches the required voltage for your device.
Because the line voltage may vary from venue to venue, make sure to plug your power supply into a compatible wall outlet before attempting to operate your device.

DMX Mode A001-512

(The LED next to the letter “A” on display will turn ON) You can use your pack as a DMX dimmer in this mode. This function will allow your device to control the intensity of a non-DMX fixture using a DMX controller. You can set your dimmer function as a 1, 2, or 4-channel DMX dimmer pack, which means you can combine the output functions.

DMX Operation

1. Connect a DMX controller to your dimmer pack via the 3-pin XLR connector.

2. Connect your lighting fixture to any of the four power sockets on the front of the unit.

3. Decide if you will use your dimmer pack as a 1, 2, or 4-channel dimmer pack. This function allows you to:
   a. CH :01 Controls the output to all four outlets with one DMX channel.
   b. CH :02 Group outlet channels one and two and channels three and four. The first group will be controlled by one DMX channel and the second group by another DMX channel.
   c. CH: 04 This is the default .

4. To change the pack function mode, be sure you are in DMX mode Axxx. Click the MENU button to select “CH” followed by two digits. Then
   use the or buttons to change the setting from 01, 02, or 04. To exit the “CH” mode click the MENU to return to the address mode Axxx.

5. The dimmer pack is initially set to be activated by DMX address one (A001). To change this setting, ensure you are in DMX mode; this will be indicated by an “A” character in the LCD followed by three numbers. Use the or buttons to select your desired DMX address (A001-512).

6. Remember the DMX address tells your DMX controller what channel will activate the pack’s functions.

7. Your pack is ready to operate via DMX, and the LED next to the “DMX signal” will blink.

CHASE Mode “P” 01-16

(The LED next to the letter “P” on the display will turn ON) Choose this mode only when you want the unit to act as a 4-channel chaser.
This unit has 16 built-in programs.
You can select to run any of these programs and control the chase speed (SP:01-99) or the light output (d000-100) dimming.

1. Connect your lighting fixture to any of the unit’s 4-channel power sockets on the dimmer pack. Keep in mind that if you connect lights on the same channel, they will turn ON simultaneously.

2. Use the MODE button to select chase mode: Chase mode is indicated on the LCD display as “P” followed by numbers 01-16. “P” stands for the program. If “A” appears in the LCD display, you are in DMX mode, “A” stand for address.

3. Once you have selected the chase program, use the MENU button to select your desired function:
   SP – This function will control the speed your chase will run, from a minimum of 01 to a maximum of 99.
   d – This function will control the light output intensity of all channels at the same time, from 000 minimum to 100 maximum.

4. You can change the program, chase speed or light intensity setting by pushing the or button. (All values will loop, so once you reach the maximum value the next value will be the lowest or vice versa)

About Us

SIRS-E® / semiconductor illumination research solutions/ In 2004, SIRS-E® began research into the use of high powered LED components to be applied in direct lighting fixture and LED strips. • • •
In 2005, SIRS-E® developed the RGB HPL01-12 watt (60 lumens per watt efficiency) RGB lighting fixture controlled via DMX using LumiLEDS, one of the first high powers LEDs eventually acquired by Phillips.
Included in nearly research solutions, was the development and testing of many different LED strips intended to be used for direct RGB lighting and effects applications.
This was the beginning of what we now know as SIRS-E®.
