SKYDANCE D24 User manual

● Comply with the DMX512 standard protocols.
● Digital numeric display, set DMX decode start address by bottons.
● RDM function can realize intercommunication between
DMX master and decoder. For example,
DMX decoder address can be set by DMX master console.
● PWM frequency 2000/500Hz selectable.
● Logarithmic or linear dimming curve selectable.
● Stand-alone 24ch RGB mode and 24 channel dimmer mode selectable,
which be controlled by buttons with built-in programs, instead of DMX signal.

Note:
1. An DMX signal amplifier is needed if more than 32
decoders are connected, or use overlong signal line,
signal amplification should not be more than 5 times
continuously.
2. If the recoil effect occurs because of longer signal line
or bad line quality, please try to connect 0.25W
90-120Ω terminal resistor at the end of each line.

● Short press M key, when display A001~2048, enter DMX mode.
● Press ◀ or ▶ key to change DMX decode start address(001~2048),
long press for fast adjustment.
● If there is a DMX signal input, will enter DMX mode automatically.
● DMX Dimming: Each D24 DMX decoder occupy 24 DMX address
when connecting the DMX console.
For example, the defaulted start address is 1,
their corresponding relationship in the form:
● Long press M and ◀ key for 2s, prepare for setup system parameter: decode mode,
output PWM frequence, output brightness curve, automatic blank screen.
short press M key to switch four item.
● Decode mode: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch 1-channel decode("d--1"), 3-channeldecode("d--3") ,
6-channel decode("d--6") or 24-channel decode("d-24").When set as 1 channel decode,
the decoder occupy only 1 DMX address, and 24 channel output the same brightness of this DMX address.
● Output PWM frequence: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch 500Hz("F--L") or 2KHz("F--H").
Higher PWM frequency, will cause lower output current, higher power noise, but more suitable for camera.
● Output brightness curve: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch linear curve("C--L") or logarithmic curve("C--E").
● Automatic blank screen: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch enable ("bon") or disable("boFF")
automatic blank screen.
● Long press M key for 2s or timeout 10s, quit system parameter setting.

Stand-alone RGB mode
(P--1~P--4)
● Short press M key, when display P--1~P--4, enter stand-alone RGB mode.
● Press ◀ or ▶ key to change dynamic mode number(P--1~P--4).
● Each mode can adjust speed and brightness.
Long press M key for 2s, prepare for setup mode speed, brightness.
Short press M key to switch two item.
Press ◀ or ▶ key to setup value of each item.
Mode speed : 1-10 level speed(SP-1, SP-9, SP-F).
Mode brightness: 1-10 level brightness(br-1, br-9, br-F).
Long press M key for 2s, or timeout 10s, quit setting.
● Enter stand-alone RGB mode only when DMX signal is disconnected or lost.

● Short press M key, when display L--1~L--8, enter stand-alone dimmer mode.
● Press ◀ or ▶ key to change dimmer mode number(L--1~L--8).
● Each dimmer mode can adjust each channel brightness independently.
Long press M key for 2s, prepare for setup 24 channel brightness.
Short press M key to switch 24 channel(0100~01FF, 0200~02FF,
0300~03FF, ... , 2400~24FF),.
Press ◀ or ▶ key to setup brightness value of each channel.
Long press M key for 2s, or timeout 10s, quit setting.
● Enter stand-alone dimmer mode only when DMX signal is disconnected or lost.

● Long press ◀ and ▶ key for 2s, restore factory default parameter, display"RES".
● Factory default parameter: DMX decode mode, DMX decode start address is 1, 24 channel decode,
low PWM frequence output, logarithmic brightness curve, RGB mode number is 1,
dimmer mode number is 1, disable automatic blank screen.
Malfunctions analysis & troubleshooting
Restore factory default parameter
1. Wrong connection of R/G/B wires.
2. DMX decode address error.
Causes
1. Output cable is too long.
2. Wire diameter is too small.
3. Overload beyond power supply capability.
4. Overload beyond controller capability.
1. No power.
2. Wrong connection or insecure.
Wrong color
Malfunctions
Uneven intensity

rear,with voltage drop
No light
1.Reconnect R/G/B wires.
2. Set corrrect decode address.
Troubleshooting
1. Reduce cable or loop supply.
2. Change wider wire.
3. Replace higher power supply.
4. Add power repeater.
1. Check the power.
2. Check the connection.
