2. Connect the wires
POWER: Connect a 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)
- Ethernet cable
The front panel is mounted by clipping the 2 tabs along the top
edge to the back plate and then arching down. 1 screw should
then be attached underneith to hold the controller in place. A
bottom cover plate can also be attached with 2 screws to cover
the sockets and switches.
**CHECK PIN CONFIGURATIONS. APPLYING POWER TO THE DMX INPUT WILL DAMAGE THE CONTROLLER**
EASY INSTALLATION
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.

2. Remove the back panel by pulling down and sliding it out.
3. Using a paper clip push the battery from the bottom so it slides out
of its cage.
4. Slide the replacement battery in from the top, making sure the posi-
tive side is facing up.
5. Replace the back panel by pushing it up into place.
Servicable parts include:
• Memory card - used to store the scenes
• Battery - used to store the clock/calendar

P1 P2 P3 P4 ... GND
Make a cable using the 3 pins : TX, RX and G (GND)
Set the RS232 parameters to : 9600bds 8 bits, no Parity, 2 Stop bits
- To play a scene, send 3 bytes : 1 x 255
- To stop a scene, send 3 bytes : 2 x 255
- To pause a scene, send 3 bytes : 3 x 255
- To release a pause, send 3 bytes : 4 x 255
- To reset a scene, send 3 bytes : 5 x 255
The scene number (x) can be from 1 to 40. For instance, 11 means
Page B Scene #3
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
• If the network has a lewall enabled, allow port 2430
The controller can be connected to an existing automation system
over a network and triggered via UDP packet on port 2430. Refer to
the remote protocol document for more information.

The controller works with the ocial IR remote control, however there
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
of the 20 pin extension socket. This can be used to turn o other
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:
the scene will not be switched o when the switch is released.
Technical datasheet Revision date 20 Mar. 2015
The controller be programmed from a PC, Mac, Tablet or
Smartphone 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
The controller can be used with one of 3 dierent apps. Each
available at Google Play and the App store.
STICK Remote
Designed to work seamlessly with the controller, STICK
Remote provides an easy way to control your lights over a
local WiFi network. Use the slider to change the dimmer,
color or speed, and the 8 scene buttons to select scenes and
eects just like the wall panel.
Easy Remote
Create an entirely customized remote controller 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.
Arcolis
The Arcolis application is a comprehensive tool allowing you
to directly control and re-program the controller from your
smartphone or tablet. This is a simple application which can
be used by just about everyone in any situation. Mobile, easy
to use and powerful, Arcolis is the ideal controller for dimming
or switching traditional, LED and RGB color mixing DMX
lighting xtures. Program static and dynamic lighting scenes
and eects.

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
-Try formatting or replacing the SD card
There is no showle detected on the SD memory card.
-Try formatting the SD card in the computer
-Try re-writing the show le
-Try replacing the SD memory card
There is no SD card detected.
-Check the SD card is properly connected
-Try formatting the SD card in the computer
-Try re-writing the show le
-Try replacing the SD memory card
-Be sure that the latest software version is installed
-Connect by USB and open the Hardware Manager (found in the software
directory). If it’s detected here, try to update the rmware
-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
