Operation
● Long press SETUP key for 2s, prepare for setup system parameter: decode mode, grey level, output PWM frequence, output brightness curve, default output level,
automatic blank screen. then short press SETUP key to switch six item.
● Decode mode: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch 1/2/4 channel decode mode("d-1","d-2" or "d-4"). When set as 1 channel decode,
the decoder occupy only 1 DMX address, and four channel output the same brightness of this DMX address.
● Grey level: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch 8bit("b08") or 16 bit("b16"). choose 16 bit if the DMX master support 16 bit.
● Output PWM frequency: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch 250Hz("F02"), 500Hz("F05"), 1000Hz("F10"), 2000Hz("F20"), 4000Hz("F40"), 8000Hz("F80")
or 16000Hz("F16"). Higher PWM frequency, will cause lower output current, higher power noise, but more suitable for camera(No ickers for video).
● Output brightness curve: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch linear curve("C-L") or logarithmic curve("C-E").
● Default output level: press ◀ or ▶ key to change default 0-100% level ("d00" to "dFF" ) when no DMX input signal.
● Automatic blank screen: short press ◀ or ▶ key to switch enable ("bon") or disable("boF") automatic blank screen.
● Long press SETUP key for 2s or timeout 10s, quit system parameter setting.
System parameter setting
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 DMX signal line.
3. When display 1OL,2OL,3OL,4OL, correspond to 1,2,3,4, channel overload alarm.
When display OHA, overheat alarm.

● Enter stand-alone dimmer mode only when DMX signal is disconnected or lost.
● Short press MODE 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.
Short press SETUP key to switch between 4 channel(100~1FF, 200~2FF, 300~3FF, 400~4FF).
Press ◀ or ▶ key to setup brightness value of each channel.
Long press SETUP key for 2s, or timeout 10s, quit setting.
Stand-alone dimmer mode
(L-1~L-8)
● Enter stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode only when DMX signal is disconnected or lost.
● Short press MODE key, when display P01~P30, enter stand-alone RGB/RGBW mode.
● Press ◀ or ▶ key to change dynamic mode number(P01~P30).
● Each mode can adjust speed and brightness.
Short press SETUP key for switch between mode speed, brightness and W channel brightness setting.
Press ◀ or ▶ key to setup value of each item.
Mode speed: 1-10 level speed(S-1, S-9, S-F).
Mode brightness: 1-10 level brightness(b-1, b-9, b-F).
W channel brightness: 0-255 level brightness(400-4FF).
Long press SETUP key for 2s, or timeout 10s, quit setting.

● Short press MODE key, when display 001~512, enter DMX mode.
● Press ◀ or ▶ key to change DMX decode start address(001~512), long press for fast adjustment.
● If there is a DMX signal input, will enter DMX mode automatically.
● DMX Dimming: Each D4-WPS DMX decoder occupy 4 DMX address when connecting the DMX console.
For example, the defaulted start address is 1, their corresponding relationship in the form:

Malfunctions analysis & troubleshooting
1. Wrong connection of R/G/B/W 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.
