Installation
Power Supply
The Springtree WallDim1 and WallDim5 uses a standard 12V power supply (provided). Be sure
to ground your unit to prevent damage. ***See “Connecting Power and Grounding” on page 5***
Mounting
The Dim1 and Dim5 come with a single gang mud ring but can also be mounted in a RACO
2 gang electrical box with a RACO 1 device mud ring cover seen below. ***Only the mud ring with
tabs will t.***
Connecting DMX
Connect as shown below. Power in is to the left. DMX out is in the center and DMX in is to
the right. Attention audio people: DMX is backwards from audio. Pin 2 is negative and pin 3 is posi-
tive. Most of the time pin 2 will be a white or red wire. Pin 3 will always be black.

Connecting Power and
Grounding
The WallDim1 and WallDim5 comes with
a short power whip that connects to the 12v pow-
er supply that is provided. If there is power close
simply connect the WallDim1 or WallDim5 to the
power supply. If power is not nearby, power can be
extended with 18 gauge low voltage cable.
The Springtree WallDim1 and Wall-
Dim5 should be grounded in order to prevent
static shock damage. Using a short 18 gauge
whip the WallDim units can be grounded to
the outlet that is providing power.

Dip Switches
The WallDim1 and WallDim 5 DMX addressing is done via dip switches on the back. The
WallDim unit should be addressed to whatever DMX channel you would like to control. For example
to control DMX address 001 the dip switch #1 should be turned on. For DMX address 005 the dip
switches #1 and #3 should be on. Refer to the dip switch chart on the following pages for more ad-
dressing.
