Product Descripon
SceneDMXcas is a Casambi “Gateway” device designed to ulize a connecon to a stand-
ard DMX digital master controller to provide remote selecon of pre-dened Casambi
Scenes and Scene Intensity. SceneDMXcas is connected between a 12-24 VDC Class 2
power supply, and a DMX master universe.
SceneDMXcas decodes two DMX channels, and provides Scene selecons by mapping the
rst DMX channel to up to 20 pre-dened Casambi Scenes. The second DMX channel
provides 0-100% intensity selecon for the selected Casambi Scene. The DMX Start Ad-
dress for each SceneDMXcas is also user selectable.
SceneDMXcas can be congured with the Casambi app which can be downloaded free of
charge from Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Dierent Casambi enabled products can be used from a simple one luminaire direct con-
trol to a complete and full featured light control system where up to 127 units form auto-
macally an intelligent mesh network.

Installaon
Connect a Class 2 power supply with 12-24 VDC output voltage to the input connector of Scene10cas. Make sure not to use a constant current LED
driver and make sure that the cable polarity is correct. The product has two DMX input connecons (+ and -), plus one common (RETURN) ground.
Connect the DMX in wires to a DMX master of your choice to give you DMX control of your Casambi Scene lighng network. Add Scenes to the
Casambi network, the SceneDMXcas will allow up to 20 Scenes to be selected.
Using the Casambi app, go to Gateways, and press on the SceneDMXcas device, and add it to your Casambi network. Now press on the
SceneDMXcas icon, and scroll to the boom of that screen. Note at the boom of this screen there are 21 user programmable parameters—DMX
Start Address, and 20 Scene selectors. First select your DMX Start Address, then up to 20 Scenes from your pre-dened Scenes in your Casambi
network. Now simply use your DMX master to select the Scene and Intensity, with the rst DMX channel selecng the Scene and the second chan-
nel dening the Intensity.
SceneDMXcas should not be placed in a metal enclosure, such as metal juncon boxes. Metal will aenuate radio signals which are crucial to the
operaon of the product. If the product will have to installed into a juncon box, make sure to use a plasc juncon box. SceneDMXcas is an ETL
Listed Open-Type device which means that it will have to be used together with a Class 2 power supply with maximum output power of 100 VA. The
product can be installed outside of juncon box. Make sure to comply with Naonal Electric Code in installaon and when selecng installaon
wires.
Range
The range between two SceneDMXcas’s or between a SceneDMXcas and a smart phone can vary depending on obstacles and surrounding material.
In open air the range between two SceneDMXcass can be in excess of 200 , but if the unit is encapsulated into a metal structure, the range can be
only few feet. Therefore, thorough tesng is high suggested.
Casambi uses mesh network technology so each SceneDMXcas acts also as a repeater. When tesng the network, it is important to test that each
unit can be controlled from any point of the network covered area.
Compliance Statement

will not occur in a parcular installaon. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recepon, which can be determined by turning the
equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separaon between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
