HPEPP Theory of Operation & Programming Options
The HPEPP is a DMX with RDM controlled device that converts DMX intensity inputs to a 0-10V dimming signal and power relay output.
The HPEPP has several field adjustable configurations which are accessed via a layered menu structure. Adjustments to the factory default settings require an

operator to perform these basic steps:

• Enter Programming Mode

• Select the desired Function & Modify the Setting

• Confirm the Setting & save via Confirmation Mode

• Exit Programming

The table below summarizes all available functions, range of settings & default settings (in bold).

How it Works

Button

Mode

Defines how the HPEPP responds

to a button press when in normal

operating mode (not in

Programming Mode)

Override Enabled

Override Disabled

If enabled, a button press during normal

operation will cycle the device’s output from 0,

to 50% to 100% intensity

Set DMX

Address

The device’s address between 1

and 512, in three segments

(hundred, ten and one digits)

Address range is 001 – 512

Default is 001

Assigns the HPEPP to listen to a specific DMX

channel. If configured for 2 DMX channels (see

Function 3), HPEPP responds to the assigned

channel & the next (e.g. channels 1 and 2 if set

to DMX Address 1)

RDM

Personality

Available operating modes for

the HPEPP

1 DMX slot Linear Dim (8 bit)

2 DMX slot Linear Dim (16 bit)

1 DMX slot Logarithmic Dim (8 bit)

2 DMX slots Logarithmic Dim (16 bits)

2 DMX slots 8 Bit Linear Dim | Relay

2 DMX slots 8 Bit Logarithmic Dim | Relay

HPEPP dims the attached load using a linear

(even step) or logarithmic (human eye

response) curve in response to the DMX signal.

2 Personalities use the second DMX slot for

relay control where the value of the second slot

has to be < 102 for the relay to open, and >153

for the relay to close

Hold last forever

Fade to off over 1 second

Hold last for 1 minute then fade to off

Fade to 100% over 1 second

Hold last for 1 minute then fade to 100%

HPEPP is expecting regular intensity updates

from the DMX controller, without a stream of

DMX commands the device will respond as
