LED Strips connection wires must be doubled on the green male plug and on the ledstrip (at the beginning, along the LED Strip or eventually at the end).
Address and fixture settings #
DMX adressing and lighting universe adressing is made by DMX HF emittor controlling system :
- Make sure the board is off,
- Open Assignment menu, choose DMX HF lighting universe and DMX address wanted for DMX_HF_V4_2X20A receiver board,
- once the lighting universe and the address are selected, run your display by staying in the assignment menu, the led on the board will go on and off 6 times quickly confirming the assignment is done, then blink slowly searching for DMX HF signal,
- Once the previous step is over, you can exit the assignment mode.
Fixture choice (Mode DMX) must be done in the « Expert » mode in the Assignement menu (>2.xD emittor is needed)
You can choose DMX mode between 0 and 5.

Param4 : In LED Mode: smoothing level of color changing. 0 none –> 8 extreme.
Utilisation #
Plugging in your device, the receiver board will scan frequencies to look for the assigned emittor with a slow blinking LED. Once the assignment is done, the DMX LED must light onto DMX frameworks.
According to the functionning mode (fixture) and the assigned address, you can now control on your console output levels of your DMX_HF_V4_2X20A receiver board.
