Programming the light engine

The LEK-431 DMX light engine has two modes

DMX 512 Signal mode: the operation of the light engine is controlled by a DMX 512 controller
Master / Slave mode: one light engine (master) controls the other light engine (slave) light programs

Light engine connector cable

2 x 0.5 mm2 audio wire

StellarpLighting-LEK-432-DMX-For-Cars-fig-5

The programs and functions are set on the controller with DIP switches.

DMX 512 Signal mode

DIP switch settings

DIP switch 1-7: DMX address
DIP switch 8-9: motor speed setting
DIP switch 10: remote controller on/off

Calculating the DMX address

for example, to set DMX address 38: 2nd switch ON (2) + 3rd switch ON (4) + 6th switch ON (32) = 38

DMX channels

Channel 1: red
Channel 2: green
Channel 3: blue
Channel 4: white

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting for remote controller connection issues

Make sure that the remote controller is switched on by pressing the “On” button
Check if the battery is operational in the remote controller: Press a button on the remote and the indicator light should flash up. If the light doesn’t flash up, it means that there is either no battery in the remote or the battery needs replacing.
If the remote’s control light flashes up, check whether the green indicator light on the back of the light engine flashes up, when a button is pressed on the remote. If the indicator light is not flashing up, restart the device and test again. If the indicator light still doesn’t flash up, try re-pairing the remote controller with the light engine. If the pairing didn’t work, please contact your supplier.
Pairing your remote controller with the light engine:

Make sure the light engine is powered off completely
Press the “FADE 3″ and FADE 7” buttons at the same time within the remote control’s range
Power on the light engine
The light engine will flash in white if the pairing is successful.
