II. For run1 DMX decoder mode: Keep on clicking the Up button, and you will
find the following menus on display:
DMX signal indicator:: • When DMX signal input is detected, the indicator on
the display following turns red XXX
XXX Means DMX address. fa ctory defaults setting is 001.
XX Means DMX channels quantity. factory defaults setting is Ch05
XX Means Bit (8bit or 16bit). factory defaults setting is 16bit
XX Means output PWM frequency. factory defaults setting is 1K HZ
XX Means output dimming curve gamma value, factory defaults setting is ga 1.5
XX Means Decoding mode, factory defaults setting is dp1.1
By holding the button Back + Enter together at the same time for over 5 seconds until the display goes off, it will restore to default settings.
Wiring diagram
- Work as Master mode
Work as Decoder mode
Note: the terminal blocks used for the input have two spaces for Voltage
- and two spaces for GND which allow for the huge current capability this unit has 5 X 8A = 40 AMPS of power!
- Please make sure that the stripped wires are fully inserted into the terminal blocks and screws are tightened!
1. DMX address setting:
select menu XXX, click the button “Enter”, display flashes, then click or hold
the button “Up” / “Down” to set the DMX address (click is slow, the hold is
fast.), then click the button“Back” to confirm.
2. DMX channel quantity setting:
Select menu XX, click the button “Enter”, display flashes, then click the
button “Up” / “Down” to set DMX channel quantity, then click the button“Back”
to confirm.
For example, the DMX address is already set to 001.
CH01=1 DMX address for all the output channels, which are all address 001.
CH02=2 DMX addresses, output 1&3 is address 001, output 2,4&5 is address 002
CH03=3 DMX addresses, output 1, 2 is address 001,002, output 3,4&5 is address
003
CH04=4 DMX addresses, output 1,2,3 is address 001,002,003, output 4&5 is
address 004
CH05=5 DMX addresses, output 1,2,3,4,5 is address 001,002,003,004,005.
3. PWM output resolution Bit setting:
select menu XX, click the button “Enter”, display flashes, then click the
button “Up” / “Down” to choose 08 or 16 bit, then click the button“Back” to
confirm.
4. output PWM frequency setting:
select menu XX, click the button “Enter”, display flashes, then click the
button “Up” / “Down” to choose 00~35, then click the button“Back” to confirm.
00=500HZ, 01=1kHZ, 02=2kHZ…..25=25kHZ, 35=35kHZ.
5. output dimming curve gamma value setting:
select menu XX, click the button “Enter”, display flashes, then click or hold
the button “Up” / “Down” to choose 0.1~9.9, then click the button“Back” to
confirm.
6. DMX decoding mode setting:
Select menu XX, click the button “Enter”, display flashes, then click or hold
the button “Up” / “Down” to choose the decoding mode, then click the
button“Back” to confirm. “dPxx” means the DMX address quantity used for
control of corresponding PWM output channel quantity. 1st “x” is DMX address
quantity, 2nd “x” is PWM channel quantity.
Fine dimming: the fine dimming effect can only be visible when the dimming
curve gamma value is set lower than 1.4, and the lower the value is, the more
visible the fine dimming effect will be.

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.
Restore to Factory Default Setting
Press and hold down both “ ” and “Enter” keys Back
until the digital display turns off, then release the keys, the system will
reset and the digital display will turn on again, all settings will be
restored to factory default.
Default settings are as follows:
DMX Address Code: a001
DMX Address Quantity: SW1=0: ch05, SW1=1: ch04
PWM Resolution Mode: bt16
PWM Frequency: pf01
Gamma: ga1.5
