Operating Modes
DEC3.2 may operate in one of four modes, set using either the Front Panel or by RDM control. In
all configurations, the luminaire inside the enclosure may also be an RDM enabled device.
Basic Mode (factory setting)
 Standard temperature settings
 DMX and RDM disabled
 Best for standalone operation
Monitor Mode
 As Basic mode, plus:
 RDM status reporting
 RDM configuration – settings may be changed remotely or at the enclosure control
panel
 DEC3.2 does not require a DMX signal to operate
Control Mode
 As Basic mode, plus:
 Enclosure functions as a 1-channel DMX device, with remote control of the lamp relay
o DMX level > 75% enables normal relay operation (normally ON)
o DMX level < 25% disables normal relay operation (relay turns OFF)
o This allows you to force a hard reset of the lamp relay in the event of a
luminaire malfunction
 Control mode is recommended for show control applications, but can be risky in live
show operation.
Service Mode
 For trained service personnel only
 Normal operation is suspended and the enclosure functions as a 3-channel DMX
device:
o Lamp Relay
