Overview
This DMX controller is aimed at architectural
lighting installations requiring an advanced
level of programming (color changing
eects, specic colors etc). The controller
has been engineered to meet the needs of
lighting designers, whilst providing a clean
and user-friendly panel. Featuring an on/o
button, 6 scene buttons and a color wheel,
the controller is ideal for hotels, homes and
public environments. The controller is USB
programmable from a PC or Mac using the
ESA2 software. Up to 36 scenes can be stored
within the controller and directly recalled via 6
touch sensitive scene buttons.

2. Connect the wires
POWER: Connect a 5-10V 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+)
There are 2 ways to connect the power and DMX:
3. Mount the interface on the wall
First, mount the backside of the interface on the wall with 2 or
more screws. Secondly, connect the DMX and power (connec-
tor block or RJ45).
The front panel is mounted by pressing it against the back plate
and then sliding down. Two screws should then be attached
underneath to hold the controller in place.
DMX CHIP
Solder the DMX chip to the 8 pin connec-
tor on the right of the RJ45 socket. Be
sure that the chip is facing downwards
CHECK PIN CONFIGURATIONS.
APPLYING POWER TO THE
DMX INPUT WILL DAMAGE THE
CONTROLLER
MAKE SURE THE CONTROLLER
IS MOUNTED FLAT WITHOUT
OBSTRUCTIONS FROM BEHIND
AS THIS CAN PUSH APART THE
GLASS
EASY INSTALLATION
1. Mount an electrical box inside the wall
The controller can be installed in a standard electrical
backbox. This box is usually 60mm high and wide,
except in Japan and America where it is 83.5mm/3.29
inches high. You can insert the AC/DC adapter inside or
outside the backbox.
Connector Block RJ45
P1 P2 P3 P4 ... GND
Dry Contact Port Triggering
It is possible to start scenes using the dry
contract input ports available on the HE10
extension socket. 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: the scene will not be
switched o when the switch is released.

button will toggle between scene selection and color selection mode. The center LED will blink when the wheel is set to scene
mode.
Disable button : the button will have no function.
There are several other settings which are available within the Hardware Manager.

changes are stored globally, or per scene.
Re-select scene : determines what happens when a playing scene is re-selected.
Reset color : clear any color changes and reset to the scene’s color vlaues.
Reset dimmer : clear any dimmer changes and reset to the scene’s dimmer vlaues.
Reset saturation : clear any saturation changes and reset to the scene’s saturation vlaues.

The DMX controller can be programmed from a PC or Mac using the software available on our website. Refer to the
corresponding software manual for more information. The rmware can be updated using the Hardware Manager which is
included with the programming software.
Programming the Controller
Setting up the Controller
Troubleshooting
The controller is in bootloader mode. This is a special ‘startup mode’
which is run before the main rmware loads.
-Check that there is nothing metallic touching the back of the controller
-Try re-writing the rmware with the latest hardware manager
No showle has been detected on the controller.
-Download the latest software
-Update tot he lates rmware using the included Hardware Manager
-Try re-writing the show le
Center LED Red, cycling pattern on 6 LEDs - Error1
Center LED Green, cycling pattern on 6 LEDs - Error2
Center LED Blue, cycling pattern on 6 LEDs - Error3
-Be sure that the latest software version is installed (use the beta if
available)
-Connect by USB and open the Hardware Manager (found in the software
directory). If it’s detected here, try to update the rmware
-Try another USB cable, port and computer
-Check the DMX +, - and GND are connected correctly
-Check that the driver or lighting xture is in DMX mode
-Be sure that the DMX address has been set correctly
-Check there are no more than 32 devices in the chain
-Check that the DMX LED is ickering to the right of the SD card
-Connect with the computer and open Hardware Manager (found in the
software directory). Open the DMX Input/Output tab and move the faders.
If your xtures respond here, it is possibly a problem with the show le
All 7 LED’s on the controller are blinking The 6 scene LED’s are blinking
