This product has an auto-ranging power supply that can work with an input
voltage range of 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
This product is equipped with replaceable fuses. Each section has its
own 7 A fuse that runs through the 20 A main power supply.
1. Disconnect the product from power.
2. With a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap
from the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse.
4. Replace with a fuse of the same type and rating.
5. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.
Dimmer/switch packs are primarily intended for lamp-based PAR cans.
Connecting a fixture equipped with an electronic (switching) power
supply to a dimmer/switch pack may damage the fixture or make it work
erratically.
The improved DMX-4's design now allows you to switch on and off loads
equipped with electronic power supplies, such as LED-based luminaries
or laser fixtures. However, the DMX-4 must be in Switch mode before
connecting loads of this type to it. Please see the instructions on how to
set the DMX-4 in Switch mode below.
Always make sure that the DMX-4 is in Switch mode before
connecting a load equipped with an electronic power supply to it.
Doing otherwise could damage the load.
The DMX-4 is optimized to also operate with LED-based products.
The DMX-4 has two different methods for controlling the output of the four
channels. To set this via the control panel, do the following.
1. Unplug any units from the four output channels.
2. Connect the DMX-4 to a suitable power outlet.
3. Turn the product on.
4. Press <MODE> repeatedly until A001–A512 appears on the display.
5. Press <MENU> repeatedly until S1__, S2__, S3__, or S4__ appears on
the display. This setting can be set differently for each of the four
channels. Navigate to the desired channel.
6. Use <p> or <q> to select either __oN (Switch mode) or __oF (Dimmer
mode) for the channel selected in the previous step.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to set each of the other channels, if necessary.
