Product Features
-
General Product Information
-
Basic / Dumb control over elements that use RGB lights that do not need individual control. Element examples would include:
- 30 DMX Channels / 10 RGB Channels
- 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 on the input (not hooked up to a DMX output device), the controller can be configured to output a test/demo sequence.
-
Four mounting holes in board (.12” or 1/8”) – on each corner and two in the center
-
Great for use in centralized controller elements
- Angled screw connectors for output, each output clearly labelled with RGB output locations
- Dual power input screw terminals handles up to 30 amps of power
- Vertical CAT5 and XLR plugs allow inputs even in confined controller housings
-
LED Indicator for DMX signal input
- Red, Green and Blue LED Indicators for each output - allowing to test controller without lights connected to outputs
- Mounting inside water resistant enclosure using our optional mounting kit
- 500Hz PWM Refresh rate prevents "flashing" when lights are recorded on video
- Common Anode / Shared Positive / Switched Negative
- Compatibility
- All DMX512 output devices including:
-
Power / Signal / Wiring
-
DMX input (see our Knowledge Base for wiring details)
-
Protocol: DMX512/1990
-
Signalling System: RS-485
-
Connector: RJ45 Female
-
Wired to E1.11 standard
-
Pin 1 (White/Orange) - RS-485 Positive
-
Pin 2 (Solid Orange) - RS-485 Negative
-
Connector: XLR3 (3 PIN) Male
-
The standard for XLR3 pin connections to CAT5 cable is:
-
Power input
-
Voltage Range: 7 to 24v DC
-
Screw terminal (right side of board): Positive 12v marked “DC+”
-
Screw terminal (right side of board): Negative 12v marked “DC-”
- Test Modes
- Turn ON switch 10 to activate built-in sequences (switch 10 will make the controller respond to incoming DMX signal instead)
- Switches 1-9 OFF: Black/No Output
- Switch 1 ON: Red
- Switch 2 ON: Green
- Switch 3 ON: Blue
- Switch 4 ON: Yellow
- Switch 5 ON: Purple
- Switch 6 ON: White
- Switch 7 ON: Switch from static Red > Green > Blue > White > Off / Black >
- Switch 8 ON: Color mixing between different colors (color mixing or red, green blue)
- Switch 9 ON: Adjust the speed of mode 8
- Switch 10 ON: Turn on test mode
- See the video on this page for samples of test mode
- Signal (PWM) output:
- Up to 2 amps per DMX channel (24 watts @ 12v) / 6 amps per RGB channel output (72 watts @ 12v) OR 60 amps per controller total (720 watts @ 12v). Note - Any load over 60 amps requires two 350w power supplies
-
Screw terminals (top of board) - four screw terminals (two power supplies)
- Dimming Levels / Steps: 8 Bit / 256 (DMX Maximum)
-
Maximum RGB light examples
-
Note: These are estimates and do not account for long lengths of cable, differences in power requirements for other vendors RGB lights or other possible factors. You should confirm power consumption prior to hookup - see our Knowledge Base for more information.
