IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION

• Installation should be carried out in accordance with the latest edition of the
National Wiring Regulations. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
• The AU-DMX1500 is a sub controller unit that will accept a standard DMX signal
and convert it to an RGBW output at 12V or 24V dependent on the Constant
Voltage LED Driver used.
• AU-DMX1500 will control up to 150Watts of LED Strip/flex.
• DMX inputs with RJ45 sockets. For output, strip RJ45 and connect ORANGE to
D- and ORANGE/WHITE to D+ to AU-DMXRGBC. Discard remaining pairs.
• Ethernet RJ45 Cables (not supplied) are required to connect to a DMX system
controller and to connect to other AU-DMX1500 interface units.
• The controller operates at 12VDC or 24V DC. A DC Constant Voltage LED Driver
must be used (not included).
• Ensure that ALL electrical connections are tight with no loose strands, including
factory connections.
• Ensure that polarity and all connections are correct before energising the mains
supply.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
