  • Page 4: Registering Your Product

    This guide will get you started using your RC4 LumenDimM6. Most LumenDimM6 users will find all the information they need right here. Your LumenDimM6 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 • A battery or DC power supply for the dimmer and loads you will be operating with it. Screwdriver Size Matters The ideal screwdriver for the screw terminals on your LumenDimM6 has a blade that is 2.5mm (0.1”) wide. Forcing a screwdriver that is too big will enlarge the hole, so the terminal screws will fall out if you loosen them too much.

  • Page 6: Performing A Factory Reset

    Performing a Factory Reset If someone else has used your LumenDimM6, 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. Connect 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 LumenDimM6 is ready to be linked to your transmitter. NOTE: Link status is not affected by performing a Factory Reset.

    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 LumenDimM6 will flash for several seconds and then remain steady, indicating that they are linked.

  • Page 9: Setting The Dmx Address

    Assigning DMX channels and dimmer curves is easy using RC4 OneTouch™: On your DMX lighting console, bring up one dimmer (DMX output channel) that will be your LumenDimM6 starting address. For example, if you want your first LumenDimM6 dimmer on DMX channel 60 with a curve that is optimized for LEDs, bring up 60 @ 30% at the console.
  • Page 10 Subsequent Channel Assignment When you set DimABC, all 6 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, all the way up to DimF being set on channel 65.
  • Page 11 Dimming occurs on the negative side. The positive connections are all connected together inside the LumenDimM6. * DimC, D, E, and F on the LumenDimM6 can control a variety of devices including solenoids, relays, servo motors, and much more. DimA and B are intended for LED dimming only.
  • Page 12 The common positive wire should be connected to either of the (+) terminals. All of the (+) terminals are connected together inside the LumenDimM6. The two (+) terminals make it easy to connect two RGB light sources, each with their own common positive wire.
  • Page 13 Choosing Other Dimmer Curves or Profiles The LumenDimM6 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

    • Extensive RDM support makes it easy to configure the LumenDimM6 with a DMXcat or other full-featured RDM controller. • Using a small adaptor cable, the LumenDimM6 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 LumenDimM6 • The LumenDimM6 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 total power handling of the LumenDimM6, which is 16A.
