Setting the non-dim mode switches
The NON-DIM switches are used to select the behavior of each output. When the
NON-DIM switch for the associated output is off, the dimmer will have full range dimming
control from zero to full intensity.
When a NON-DIM switch is on, the associated output can only be either on or off.
There will be no dimming action. The output will turn on full when the associated
DMX512 input channel is raised above 1%. It will turn off when the DMX512 channel is
brought below 0.5%.
Local control
Local control mode is used to turn on selected outputs without the use of a DMX512
signal source. To enable local control, turn on the local control switch as shown below.
While in local control, the NON-DIM switches are used to turn individual outputs on or
off. NON-DIM switch 1 turns output 1 on or off, NON-DIM switch 2 controls output 2,
etc.
LED indicator
The bi-color LED indicates the current state of the DMX8DIM as follows:
LED State System Status
Flashing red Power on, no input signal
Solid red Local control mode enabled
Flashing green DMX input present
Solid green DMX input present, output 1 above 0
