2. DMX TERMINATION
Improper DMX termination can cause faults in the system, including signal reflection and erratic behavior. To maintain a healthy DMX
network, it is critical to use DMX termination. If the switch is in the "OFF" position, there is no DMX termination at the end of the line.
However, in the "ON" position, DMX termination is applied by adding a 120 Ohm resistor across the DMX signal line. (See Fig. 7)
FIG. 7
3. DMX DECODER ADDRESS SETTING
This wireless DMX LED controller has three outputs, with the DMX starting address set by rotating a rotary dial using a flat head
screwdriver. The DMX addresses for output channels 1 to 3 are consecutively aligned, as shown in Figure 8 and 9.

RGBWW Mode: Each output on this DMX LED controller will have a consecutive lineup of 7 DMX channels, starting with RED, GREEN, BLUE,
2700K, 5000K, RGB Brightness Level, and ending with 2700-5000K Brightness Level, as illustrated in Table 1.
Tunable White (CCT Tuning) Mode: Each output of the DMX LED Controller is set up with a lineup of four DMX channels, which will be arranged
in consecutive order, starting with 1800K, followed by 2700K, 5000K, and 1800K-2700K-5000K Brightness level. These channel arrangements and
associated values are shown in detail in Table 2.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Either RGB or 2700K/5000K can be turned on at the same time, but the DMX controller prevents all RGB and white lights from being on
simultaneously to avoid thermal issues. RGB brightness level takes priority over 2700K/5000K brightness level. For example, if 2700K/5000K white
light is needed in RGBWW mode, the DMX value of RGB brightness level address: 030 must be set to zero, as address 031 will not turn off the
RGB lights. The RGB lights will remain on as long as the DMX value of address 030 is greater than or equal to one, regardless of the DMX value at
address 031.

1800K/2700K/5000K
Brightness Level
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The DMX controller allows only two CCTs to be on simultaneously due to thermal limitations. The 1800K CCT has the highest priority. Therefore,
when mixing 2700K and 5000K CCTs, the DMX value for address 025 (1800K) must be zero. If not, 1800K and 2700K will be mixed instead of
5000K, as address 025, 1800K, takes precedence over the other CCT addresses.
The priority for the CCT settings is established as follows: 1800K has the highest priority, followed by 2700K and 5000K. The brightness for all
channels can be controlled using the DMX address assigned to 1800K/2700K/5000K, allowing the CCT setting to remain consistent even as the
light output is adjusted.
5. REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM) SUPPORT
The DMX LED Controller supports RDM protocol, allowing for remote configuration of both DMX starting address and DMX controller for each
channel. Once connected to an RDM controller and the DMX address is set, the hardware setting of DMX address through the rotary dial will be
overridden. However, as long as the DMX address assigned through the rotary dial remains the same, the RDM controller will stay in control. If the
DMX address setting is changed through the rotary dial, the RDM controller will lose control and the DMX address setting will be assigned through
the rotary dial again. While in RDM control mode, the RDM controller can only set up one DMX address, which will line up all addresses in
sequence, as shown in Table 3.

For example, RDM send the command to have DMX starting address setting: 395
