2. If the recoil effect occurs because of longer signal line or

bad line quality, please try to connect 0.25W 90-120Ω
terminal resistor at the end of each DMX signal line.

Operation

System parameter setting

● Long press M and ◀ key in the same time for 2s, prepare for setup system parameter: decode mode, grey level, output PWM frequence, output brightness curve,
default output level, automatic blank screen. short press M key to switch six item.
● Decode mode: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch 1/2/4 channel decode mode("d-1","d-2" or "d-4"). When set as 1 channel decode, the decoder occupy only
1 DMX address, and four channel output the same brightness of this DMX address.
● Grey level: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch 8bit("b08") or 16 bit("b16"). choose 16 bit if the DMX master support 16 bit.
● Output PWM frequency: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch 250Hz("F02"), 500Hz("F05"), 1000Hz("F10"), 2000Hz("F20"), 4000Hz("F40"),
8000Hz("F80") or 16000Hz("F16").
Higher PWM frequency, will cause lower output current, higher power noise, but more suitable for camera(No ickers for video).
● Output brightness curve: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch linear curve("C-L") or logarithmic curve("C-E").
● Default output level: press ◀ or ▶ key to change default 0-100% level ("d00" to "dFF" ) when no DMX input signal.
● Automatic blank screen: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch enable ("bon") or disable("boF") automatic blank screen.
● Long press M key for 2s or timeout 10s, quit system parameter setting.
DMX mode
DMX mode (001~512)
● Short press M key, when display 001~512, enter DMX mode.
● Press ◀ or ▶ key to change DMX decode start address(001~512), long press for fast adjustment.
DMX Console DMX Decoder Output
● If there is a DMX signal input, will enter DMX mode automatically.
CH1 0-255 CH1 PWM 0-100% (LED R)
● DMX Dimming: Each D4 DMX decoder occupy 4 DMX address when connecting the DMX console.
For example, the defaulted start address is 1, their corresponding relationship in the form: CH2 0-255 CH2 PWM 0-100% (LED G)
CH3 0-255 CH3 PWM 0-100% (LED B)
Stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode CH4 0-255 CH4 PWM 0-100% (LED W)

● Enter stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode only when DMX signal is disconnected or lost.
● Short press M key, when display P01~P30, enter stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode.
● Press ◀ or ▶ key to change dynamic mode number(P01~P30).
● Each mode can adjust speed and brightness.
Long press M key for 2s, prepare for setup mode speed, brightness, W channel brightness. Stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode
Short press M key to switch three item. (P01~P30)
Press ◀ or ▶ key to setup value of each item.
Mode speed: 1-10 level speed(S-1, S-9, S-F).
Mode brightness: 1-10 level brightness(b-1, b-9, b-F).
W channel brightness: 0-255 level brightness(400-4FF). Speed Brightness
(8 level) (10 level,100％)
Long press M key for 2s, or timeout 10s, quit setting.

Stand-alone dimmer mode
● Enter stand-alone dimmer mode only when DMX signal is disconnected or lost.
● Short press M key, when display L-1~L-8, enter stand-alone dimmer mode.
● Press ◀ or ▶ key to change dimmer mode number(L-1~L-8).
● Each dimmer mode can adjust each channel brightness independently. Stand-alone dimmer mode
Long press M key for 2s, prepare for setup four channel brightness. (L-1~L-8)
Short press M key to switch four channel(100~1FF, 200~2FF, 300~3FF, 400~4FF).
Press ◀ or ▶ key to setup brightness value of each channel.
Long press M key for 2s, or timeout 10s, quit setting.

Restore factory default parameter

● Long press ◀ and ▶ key for 2s, restore factory default parameter, display"RES".
● Factory default parameter: DMX decode mode, DMX decode start address is 1, four channel decode, 8 bit grey level,
2000Hz PWM frequence output, logarithmic brightness curve, output 100% level when no DMX input,
RGB mode number is 1, dimmer mode number is 1, disable automatic blank screen.
