Multiple Preset12s may be connected together with one station acting as a main station (it holds the recorded looks) and the others remotely controlling it. Preset12 requires 7 to 18 Volts DC or 10 to 12 Volts AC (typically provided by a 10V class 2 "doorbell" transformer). An inline adapter is available to run Preset12 off of 24 VDC.
Five 3-position Wago Lever-Nuts included. Bottom Connector: Micro USB-B (although it does not carry USB signals) Connector Pinout: Preset12 use USB use (for reference) 1 - Power supply, +5 VDC +5 VDC 2 - Data- (pin 2 of a DMX512 connector)
Wiring Notes: Color codes for DMX512 follow the resistor color code: 1=Brown, 2=Red, 3=Orange. If multiple Preset12 are wired to the same AC supply, all Preset12’s Black wires must be connected together as must all White wires. The Brown wire (DMX512 common) and the Black wire (Power supply “Negative”) are connected internally.

Things to set up: Fade time When a button is pressed, Preset12 fades from the current look to the new look in the fade time associated with that button. The factory default time is 2 seconds (for all buttons). During set up, the fade time(s) may be changed. Each button may have its own fade time from 0 to 99 seconds.

Action upon loss of external DMX512 One of the attractions of Preset12 is the ability to sense the presence of an external DMX512 source and back off when one is present. Upon the loss of an external DMX512 signal, Preset12 may be configured to hold the last look generated by the external source or fade to the last look generated by Preset12 (prior to the external source taking over).

Press and release button 6. LEDs will stop chasing. Press and release the button for one of the following states: 1) Stand-alone. This is the only Preset12 on this DMX512 link. 2) Main. This is a Main station and will send poll messages to remotes.

An illuminated red LED (located below button 12) indicates the Preset12 is offline; an external DMX512 source is controlling the system. The red ‘offline’ LED will blink when Preset12 is holding the external source’s last look, until a Preset12 button is pressed.
Preset12 processes one button at a time. If two buttons are pressed simultaneously, the lowest number button will be recognized. Preset12 is shipped from the factory with preset 1 recorded as channel 1 at full, preset 2 recorded as channel 2 at full, through preset 11 recorded as channel 11 at full. Preset number 12 has all channels at zero.
