ADDRESS SELECTION

Three rotary switches select the offset start address for the unit
in most configurations. In test mode, the switches set dimmers
to full one at a time. The switches are set as (S4) hundreds,
(S3) tens and (S2) ones.

Two LEDs are used to indicate power supply and processor run
status and data receive detection.

OUTPUT CONFIGURATION

Place the unit in test mode (S1-2 on) and set the address
switches to 000 or 001. Ensure that the decoder is connected to
dimmer no. 1 and JP3 is in the correct position. Connect a DC
voltmeter between COM and output terminal no. 1 on the circuit
board. Adjust P1 to achieve the desired high-level full on control
voltage, and adjust P2 for the low-level full off voltage.

CAUTION – Disconnect power from the unit before
making any changes

For 4-12V output, JP2 is installed.

For 12-15V output, JP2 is removed.
JP1 is for factory use only and should not be installed.

RUN

Glowing steadily indicates power supply and processor
OK; off indicates no power, and flashing indicates
defective processor hardware.

RxD

Glowing steadily indicates data signal received; off
indicates no signal present. Note that an address
selection out of the range of the data signal will
extinguish the LED.
