Dakota Digital BIM-RGB Manual

Introduction
•
This module can be used to drive 12-volt DC, current limited, common anode, RGB LED accent lighting.
•
The module has four separate outputs.
•
Each output has one fused power connection and three connections for the RGB LED's.
•
Each output power is fused at 1.85 amps with internal resettable fuses.
•
We recommend using up to a 32-inch length of 12-volt RGB, 50/50, 60 LED/meter string lights.
•
Different brands of LEDs may not exactly match colors between LEDs nor our HDX/RTX displays.
The module can be connected to a Dakota Digital HDX or RTX gauge and set up to match the faceplate color of the
gauge. This is the default mode for the module from the factory.
If you do not have a gauge set or do not want to synchronize to the faceplate color the module can also be set up to run in
standalone mode.
Note: If the BIM-RGB is in the synchronize mode it will switch to standalone mode if it does not see any messages from a
gauge within 10 seconds.
The BIM-RGB also has a microphone-based music mode. In this mode the lights will flash with the beat of the music.
Since this is a microphone-based circuit, it will pick up any sound that is loud enough to activate the microphone.
Loud pipes, wind noise and road noise will cause the LEDs to flash as well.
Typically, road noise would not be an issue when you have music playing as any road noise picked up gets lost in the
LED's flashing to the music.
All of the control and setup of the module can be done using the Dakota Digital Accessories application on a smart phone
or tablet. A separate switch panel can also be purchased to control the module.
