supplier.
Decoder Introduction
This decoder is designed via advanced microchip
technology to convert the
universal standard DMX512/1990 signal into analog signal,
it allows user to
choose 1~3 output channel, 256-level brightness control,
max 512 output
channels. This compact decoder connects to light console,
analog device and
various Led terminal products such as RGB Led lamps, RGB
Led tubes,
building lamps, LED wall washers or lighting and other
compatible devices
allowing its user to create endless possibilities of
light shows.

IV. Decoder address setting
This decoder occupies 3 addresses, adopted Dip switch to
set the address, the Dip
switches from 1 to 9 are a kind of binary value coding
switches used to set DMX512
initial address code, the correlative bits is the 1-9
bits of the DIP switch, the 1st bit is
LSC, the 9th bit MSC , 512 addresses totally.
DMX512 initial address code is equal to the total amount
of the Dip switches’ number
from 1 to 9, press Dip switch downward (ON: at position
“1”), user can get the number
of its position, if pressing upward (at position “0”),
the number of its position is 0.
Example 1: Set to 37
Set the 6th, 3rd, 1st bit of the DIP switch downward to
“1”, others to “0” (as pictured
below), the total sum from 1 to 9 is 32+4+1, so the
DMX512 initial address code is 37.
NOTE: Accept DMX512 signal only when the DIP switch FUN＝OFF (at position “0”)
Example 2:
Set DMX512 original address code as 328: Set the 9th,
7th, 4tht bit of the DIP switch
downward to “1”, the rest to “0” (as pictured below), the
total sum from 1 to 9 is
256+64+8, so the DMX512 original address code is 328.
Ⅴ. Instructions for
other functions
1. Testing function
The 10th DIP switch is FUN, acting as the function key.
DMX512 Decoder works when
FUN is at OFF, receiving DMX512 signals. Decoder testing
mode works when FUN is
at position” ON” as pictured below:
SWITCH1－9
OFF：BLACK
SWITCH1 IS ON：RED
SWITCH2 IS ON: GREEN
SWITCH3 IS ON: BLUE
SWITCH4 IS ON: YELLOW
SWITCH5 IS ON: PURPLE
SWITCH6 IS ON: CYAN
SWITCH7 IS ON: WHITE
SWITCH8 IS ON: 7 CLOLOR JUMPING (8 SPEED LEVELS)
SWITCH9 IS ON: 7 COLOR SMOOTH (8 SPEED LEVELS)
2. Color jumping & color smooth speed
When decoder is at testing mode, DIP Switch 8 is at “ON”,
itʼs the 7 Color Jumping,
when DIP Switch 9 is at “ON”, itʼs the 7 Color Smooth,
with 8 speed levels for each
effect.
SWITCH 1－7
OFF：SPEED 0
SWITCH 1＝ON：SPEED 1
SWITCH 2＝ON：SPEED 2
SWITCH 3＝ON：SPEED 3
SWITCH 4＝ON：SPEED 4
SWITCH 5＝ON：SPEED 5
SWITCH 6＝ON：SPEED 6
SWITCH 7＝ON：SPEED 7
NOTE: As pictured above. When several DIP SWITCHES are
“ON” at the same time,
comply with the largest value switch, the testing
function is when FUN = ON, DIP
SWITCH 8 & 9 for the color changing function, DIP
SWITCH 1-7 for the speed function,
comply with the largest value switch, SPEED 7 is the
fastest speed.
