27 Channel DMX Controller/Decoder for RGB Lights / 12v DC

Product Features

General Product Information
- Basic / Dumb control over elements that use RGB lights that do not need individual control. Element examples would include:
  - MegaTrees
  - Arch/Fans
  - Flood lights
- DMX addressing:
  - DIP Switch addressable directly on board (1 to 512 channels)
  - See chart in our Knowledge Base
  - When controller does not have a DMX data stream (not hooked up to a DMX output device), the controller can be configured to output test sequence (non-configurable.)
- Six mounting holes in board (.137” or 1/8”) – on each corner and two in the center
- Great for use in centralized controller elements
- All Screw terminals for power input and output
- LED Indicator for DMX signal
