M4-C DMX/RDM CV Decoder

M4-C
DMX/RDM CV Decoder

5-year
warranty

With the standard RDM (Remote Device Management) protocol, M4-C supports DMX512 signal bi-directional communication, achieves
remote management of reading and writing DMX addresses (DMX master controller must support the RDM protocol). It realizes 0-100%

dimming or different lighting effects. It can work with DIM, CT, RGB, RGBW constant
voltage LED lamps. M4-C can be operated in DMX

mode or in customized mode.

When more than 32 DMX decoders are connected, DMX signal amplifiers are needed and signal amplification should not be more than
5 times continuously. If you need to modify the parameter settings of connected DMX/RDM decoders that exceed 32, you can add 1 RDM
signal amplifier. Or you can add 1-5 DMX signal amplifiers after completing the parameter settings.

If the recoil effect occurs because of long signal line or poor quality wires, please try to connect a 0.25W 90-120Ω terminal resistor at
the end of each line.
