DMX512 Decoder

This product warranty is 2 years(exclude the artificial situation of damaged or overload working)

Before installing this product,Please read this manual carefully. Ensure full understanding of this specification to avoid unnecessary damage and additional costs.

Product Description  

   DMX512 decoder adopts the advanced micro control unit, It can receive the DMX-512 standard digital control signal which is internationally widely used. It changes the signal into PWM control signal to actuate the LED lamp. It can also connect the DMX digital console to change the light or each dynamic effect. In addition, when the decoder is not connected with the DMX console, it can be used as a synchronous controller. That is to say you can Synchronously control number of decoders and LED lights.

Direction for use

This product is in compliance with DMX512 protocol, and compatible autoindex addressing and manual establishment address.

Each universal DMX controller takes up 3 DMX addresses. It adopts 2 ways (autoindex addressing and code switch) to set up the address. When adopting the autoindex addressing, all switches are “off” status. When adopting the code switch to set up address, the 10th bit(FUN) is “off” status, and other 9 bits are  binary value code switch which are used to set up the DMX starting address code. The first bit is the lowest order bit, and the ninth is the highest order bit. That can set up 511 address codes. The DMX starting address code is equal to the sum of 1st to 9th bit. If move down one bit of code switch (“ON” set “1”), you can get the placevalue of this bit. If move up (set “0”), the placevalue is 0. For example: if you want to set up DMX starting address code for 73, you should move down the 7th, 4th, and 1st bit of code switch for “1”, and others for “0”, Then the placevalue’s sum of 1st to 9th bit is 64+8+1. That is to say, the DMX512 starting address code is 73. (The correspondence dials code position is as follows)

To choose the channel from the Dial in-line Package(DIP) Switch:

Decimals	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Weightnumber	1	2	4	8	16	32	64	128	256	FUN

  

 

Other function’s direction for use

Test function:

The DIP switch’s 10th bit is “FUN”, for built-in function key. When “FUN”=”OFF”, is for DMX decoder function. This is used to adopt DMX signal. When “FUN”=”ON”, the test function like figure 3:

1-9 switch OFF: black

Switch 1=ON: red

Switch 2=ON: green

Switch 3=ON: blue

Switch 4=ON: yellow

Switch 5=ON: purple

Switch 6=ON: cyan

Switch 7=ON: white                                              Switch 8=ON: Seven-color jumpy changing (8 grades of speeds are available)

Switch 9=ON: All-color gradual changing (8 grades of speeds are available)

Speed choice of jumpy changing and gradual changing’s effect:

In test function, when switch 8=ON, is for seven-color jumpy changing effect. When switch 9=ON, is for seven-color gradual changing effect. 8 grades of speeds are available for each effect:

1-7 switch OFF: 0 grades of speeds

Switch 1=ON: 1 grade of speeds

Switch 2=ON: 2 grades of speeds

Switch 3=ON: 3 grades of speeds

Switch 4=ON: 4 grades of speeds

Switch 5=ON: 5 grades of speeds

Switch 6=ON: 6 grades of speeds

Switch 7=ON: 7 grades of speeds (maximum speed)

  

Notes

1. Supply voltage of this product is DC12V~24V, never connect to others or AC220V.

2. Lead wire should be connected correctly according to grade that connecting diagram offers.

3. This product is not to overload;

4. Warranty of this product is two year, but exclude the artificial situation of damaged or overload working.

Common Problems 

Problems	Possible cause	Solution
Lamp does not light after power	Power cord is not properly connected, or there is not output switching power supply	Connect the power cord properly or replay the power
	Lamp power cord is not connected or short circuit	Connected lighting power cord
2. After connecting some of the load the controller does not work	The connected load is too large,so that it has burned in some of the components of the controller	Replace parts of components or replace the controller
