Using The IR DMX Controller

Important -

To use the IR DMX Controller, fluorescent fixtures must first be ‘enabled’.

See Sub-Menu Mode, pg 4.

LCD

2 line, 8 character Liquid Crystal Display.

Once turned ON, the Left side displays the DMX-512 Address channel being accessed (1–512) or ALL

(in which case up to 512 fixtures will be accessed simultaneously). The Right side displays the dimming level (0–100%) of the unit corresponding to that address.

In addition, an asterisk will also be displayed in the center of the lower line when the MODE button has been pressed, to indicate an instant ON (level of 100%) or an instant OFF (level of 0%) capability, upon pressing the +LEVEL or –LEVEL. Otherwise, the unit will dim up or down when the LEVEL buttons are pushed.

Note: a flashing “dot” in place of the asterisk = low battery.

Buttons
