Upgrade !!! RGBW DMX Controller DMX512 LED Decoder 4CH*8A for stage lights CE, RoHS 3 years warranty
HX-DMXCM-4CH
DMX512 Decoder
DMXCM-4CH is the constant voltage decoder, can accept the international widely-used DMX512 standard digital control signal, convert it into PWM signal to actuate LED RGB lighting; suitable for all kinds of constant voltage LED lamps, such as RGB LED module, LED strip, light string and so on; Decoders can be connected with signal line through network port or XLR plug to continue expanding the channel, and accept the manual-setting address by DIP switch, control different multiple decoders lighting effects through the DMX console; When the decoder is not connected with the DMX console, the machine can be set as master controller by DIP code, and multiple decoders can be sync-work.
Product Feature
1. The product is a constant voltage type controller, working voltage DC12-24V.
2. The product is software Bus-based, when all DIP switch is “0”, the address is “1”, could set channel address through the DIP switch as well.
3.Diagnostic signal indicator: When DMX sync signal is normal, the signal indicator light fast flash, otherwise it will be off ( can check the problem : bad connection; wire connect sequence error; input and output confusion, etc.)
4. With Power off memory function, each time power it, the last power-down mode will be retained.
5. When used alone as a controller, with 9 modes, which could be changed by DIP switch on controller, speed could be adjusted through DIP switch when static mode; multiple decoders and LED could be synchronized controlled.
6. To achieve more lighting synchronization in same area with the DMX decoder, could connect our company's RGB signal amplifier to expand power.

Interface Specifications
Direction for use
This product is in compliance with DMX512 protocol, and compatible autoindex addressing and manual establishment address.
Each universal DMX controller takes up 3 DMX addresses. It adopts 2 ways (autoindex addressing and code switch) to set up the address. When adopting the autoindex addressing, all switches are “off” status. When adopting the code switch to set up address, the 10th bit(FUN) is “off” status, and other 9 bits are binary value code switch which are used to set up the DMX starting address code. The first bit is the lowest order bit, and the ninth is the highest order bit. That can set up 511 address codes. The DMX starting address code is equal to the sum of 1st to 9th bit. If move down one bit of code switch (“ON” set “1”), you can get the placevalue of this bit. If move up (set “0”), the placevalue is 0. For
example: if you want to set up DMX starting address code for 73, you should move down the 7th, 4th, and 1st bit of code switch for “1”, and others for “0”, Then the placevalue’s sum of 1st to 9th bit is 64+8+1. That is to say, the DMX512 starting address code is 73. (The correspondence dials code position is as follows)
To choose the channel from the Dial in-line Package(DIP) Switch:
Decimals | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
Weightnumber | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 | 64 | 128 | 256 | FUN |
- Example 1:
Like figure 1, to set up the DMX starting address code for 37, should move down the 6th, 3th, 1st bit for “1”, others for “0”. Then the placevalue’s sum of 1st to 9th bit is 32+4+1, as is for 37.
2.Example 2:
Like figure 2, to set up the DMX starting address code for 328, should move down the 9th, 7th, 4th bit for “1”, others for “0”. Then the placevalue’s sum of 1st to 9th bit is 256+64+8, as is for 328.
Other function’s direction for use
- Test function:
The DIP switch’s 10th bit is “FUN”, for built-in function key. When “FUN”=”OFF”, is for DMX decoder
function. This is used to adopt DMX signal. When “FUN”=”ON”, the test function like figure 3:
1-9 switch OFF: black
Switch 1=ON: red
Switch 2=ON: green
Switch 3=ON: blue
Switch 4=ON: yellow
Switch 5=ON: purple
Switch 6=ON: cyan
Switch 7=ON: white
Switch 8=ON: Seven-color jumpy changing (8 grades of speeds are available)
Switch 9=ON: All-color gradual changing (8 grades of speeds are available)
2.Speed choice of jumpy changing and gradual changing’s effect:
In test function, when switch 8=ON, is for seven-color jumpy changing effect. When switch 9=ON, is for seven-color gradual changing effect. 8 grades of speeds are available for each effect:
1-7 switch OFF: 0 grades of speeds
Switch 1=ON: 1 grade of speeds
Switch 2=ON: 2 grades of speeds
Switch 3=ON: 3 grades of speeds
Switch 4=ON: 4 grades of speeds
Switch 5=ON: 5 grades of speeds
Switch 6=ON: 6 grades of speeds
Switch 7=ON: 7 grades of speeds (maximum speed)
Like figure 4, when all switches are “ON” at the same time, the more value is taken as final. The state of decoder is gradual changing of test function. Its variable speed is 7. In addition, when signal indicator (green) blinks slowly, it runs the built-in program effectiveness of decoder.When the decoder receives the DMX signal,signal indicator will flash rapidly.
