Description of the device
The LED Dim Pro is a very user friendly LED dimmer for RGB and RGBW strips. It can be used to control 12V
or 24V constant voltage LED strips by DMX. Besides DMX control, it can also be used as stand-alone
controller for one scene or chase. You can program a scene or chase, which becomes active if DMX fail
occurs. The user interface is very friendly due to the menu with large display and language select
(NL,EN,DE). It can handle 20A at 12V and 20A at 24V. For example you can use it for 4 x 5A, 2 x 8A or 3 x
6A, as long as the total load does not exceed 20A and the channel load does not exceed 8A. The power
input must be supplied by an external (optional) power supply, which can vary between 12V and 24V
depending on the connected LED strip.
Features
Menu display with NL, EN & DE language selection
DMX fail back up function
Stand-alone function
RGBW Control for 12V & 24V strips
Selectable PWM frequency
IR Remote for controlling without DMX
