    LumenDim4 Quick Start Guide This guide will get you started using your RC4 LumenDim4. Most LumenDim4 users will find all the information they need right here. Your LumenDim4 also has a wide variety of expanded features for advanced users. You can find out more about all of them in the RC4 Knowledge Base at http://rc4.info.
  • Page 5 PowerPole shells are available in a range of colors. Pins are available with 15A, 30A, and 45A ratings. If you are running your LumenDim4 at close to the maximum rated power handling, you MUST use 45A pins at the power input.

  • Page 6: Performing A Factory Reset

    Performing a Factory Reset If someone else has used your LumenDim4, or you just want to get back to a known configuration, performing a factory reset is easy: Power on the device. The green COP indicator will be blinking. Press and hold Func, briefly tap (press and release) the SetA button, then release Func.
  • Page 7 If the RF Connect LED remains on, or is blinking, repeat the process until it stays off. When the RF Connect LED is off, the LumenDim4 is ready to be linked to your transmitter. NOTE: Link status is not affected by performing a Factory Reset.

  • Page 8: Link Button

    RF Connect LED. Tap it with a small screwdriver or the end of a bent paperclip. The blue RF Connect LEDs on both the LumenDimIO and the LumenDim4 will flash for several seconds and then remain steady, indicating that they are linked.

  • Page 9: Setting The Dmx Address

    Before changing any dimmer settings, play with the DMX levels for these addresses and see your wireless dimmer outputs work. The DimA, DimB, DimC, and DimD LED indicators on the side of the LumenDim4 are directly connected to dimmer outputs: they show you exactly what the dimmers are doing.
  • Page 10 Subsequent Channel Assignment When you set DimA, the other dimmers are automatically set sequentially. For example, if you have set DMX channel 60 for DimA, DimB is now assigned to channel 61, DimC is on 62, and so on. Set D Non-Sequential Channel Assignment Dimmers don’t have to be sequential.
  • Page 11 Connecting Your Lamps, LEDs, Motors and More* To really use your LumenDim4, you must connect a lamp, LED, motor, or other load to each dimmer. When you’re connecting anything to your LumenDim4, be sure that the LumenDim4 is powered down. Connect everything first, then turn on power.
  • Page 12 DimA. All of the (+) terminals, red and yellow, are connected together inside the LumenDim4. Using the DimA connection is recommended because it is closest to the power input (+) connection, reducing heat and resistance along the positive leg of the circuit.
  • Page 13 Choosing Other Dimmer Curves or Profiles The LumenDim4 default is the ISL dimmer curve, which is best for LEDs. This is also the curve that is selected with RC4 OneTouch™ when the DMX level is at 30%. There are dimmer curves for different kinds of lamps, motors, and more.

  • Page 14: Advanced Features

    • Using a small adaptor cable, the LumenDim4 can be used as a wireless data receiver to deliver DMX to other devices. It can also be used as a wired DMX dimmer: the miniplug DMX port becomes an input when the device is not linked to a transmitter.
  • Page 15 Caring for Your LumenDim4 • The LumenDim4 should not be used with AC power or with any voltage higher than 35VDC. Doing so will severely damage the device and is extremely dangerous for the operator. • Do not exceed the maximum power handling of the LumenDim4, which is 45A.
