2. Connect the wires
POWER: Connect a 5.5V or 6V DC 0.6A ACDC supply.
Be sure to not invert the + and the ground.
DMX: Connect the DMX cable to the lighting
receivers (Leds, Dimmers, Fixtures..)
(for XLR: 1=ground 2=dmx- 3=dmx+)
3. Mount the interface on the wall
First, mount the back side of the interface on the wall with 2 or
more screws
Secondly, plug the connectors :
- DMX and power (connector block or RJ45)
- Ethernet cable
The front panel is mounted by pressing it against the back
plate and then sliding down. 2 screws should then be attached
underneith to hold the controller in place.
**CHECK PIN CONFIGURATIONS. APPLYING POWER TO THE DMX INPUT WILL DAMAGE THE CONTROLLER**
**MAKE SURE THE CONTROLLER IS MOUNTED WITHOUT TOO MUCH FORCE BEHIND AS THIS CAN PUSH APART THE GLASS**

CONNECTOR BLOCK
1. Mount an electrical box inside the wall
The controller can be installed in any standard electrical
backbox. If you use a double size box, you can insert
the power supply inside.

The controller can be connected to a local network, allowing it to be
controlled from a smartphone or tablet over WiFi.
࠮Connect the controller to a router or switch with an RJ45 cable
࠮The controller is set by default to get an IP address from the
router via DHCP. If the network is not working with DHCP, a
manual IP address and subnet mask can be set using the
Hardware Manager
࠮
The controller can be connected to an existing automation system
over a network and triggered via TCP package on port 2431 or UDP
packets on 2430. Refer to the remote protocol document for more
information.
BLACKOUT Relay (energy saving)
Dry Contact Port Triggering
Network Control TCP Triggering
is no receiver. A 36khz infra red receiver can be connected, such as
the TSOP34836 by Vishay Semiconductors. Farnell ref: 4913127. This
can be attached to the 20 pin connector. It’s a good idea to add a
resistor and capacitor to surpress power supply disturbance.
A relay can be connected between the RELAY and GND sockets
equipment such as lighting drivers. The signal is connected when
the controller is in standby.
Infra Red
RS232 Triggering
It is possible to start scenes using the input ports (contact closure).
To activate a port, a brief contact of atleast 1/25 second must be
established between the ports (1...8) and the ground (GND). Note:

etting up the Controller
The controller can be used with one of two different smartphone apps, each available on the App Store and Google Play
Store. These apps provide limited programming capabilities (see below for details), but are very easy to use and great for
simple customization. If full customization is needed, please refer to the ESA Pro Software (details below).
The controller can be fully programmed from a PC or Mac using the inlcuded ESA Pro software. The ESA Pro
software provides in-depth programming, from scene creating and editing, to dening and labeling multi-zoned
xtures. A software CD is included with your controller. The software may also be dowloaded at https://www.
nicolaudie.com/en/esapro.htm. Video tutorials for the ESA Pro software are also available at https://www.youtube.
com/user/Nicolaudie.
The controller’s rmware can be updated using the Hardware Manager, which is included with the ESA Pro software.
To view your controller’s rmware version, go to the settings menu and scroll to “About” (see the section “Settings
Menu” below for further details).
Lightpad
Designed to work seemlessly with the controller, Lightpad provides an easy way to contol your lights
over a local WiFi network. Use the color wheel to change the color, brightness, or speed of an effect.
Use the arrows to cycle through scenes and effects, just like the wall panel. Swipe down to reveal
quick scene selection buttons.
Easy Remote
Create an entirely customized remote control for your tablet or smartphone. Easy Remote is
a powerful and intuitive app allowing you to easily add buttons, faders, color wheels and more.
Connect to a WiFi network and the app will nd all compatible devices.
