LAYOUT AND FEATURES CONTINUED
SIDE VIEW BACK VIEW
All connections (DMX, power, ports...) are made with the rear connectors.
The 9V DC power supply must be connected to the 2 Power pins, and the
1st DMX universe to the 3 DMX pins of the main 9-pin connector block (see
the picture below). This interface has 4 ports (1 to 4) to trigger 4 different
scenes. To use the input ports, you must create a connection between the
Ground pin and the ports (see the picture to the right).
The interface can be powered either with the external power supply or
through USB. You must move the “Power” button (next to the USB port) to
switch from USB to EXT.
It is very important to NEVER move the “USB TO EXT” switch while this
controller is connected to the computer.

Mount an electrical box inside the wall.
The controller can be installed in any
standard electrical gang box. If you use
a double size box, you can insert the
power supply inside.
Mount the back of the controller on the wall using 2 or more
screws.
Plug the green terminal block into the back of the front panel.
Snap the front panel onto the back and lock with a screw into
the bottom of the front panel.
Connect the wires.
DMX: Connect the DMX cable to the
external DMX interface.
Power: Connect the included 9V DC
power supply. The cable with the white
stripe is DC+.

EXTENSION SOCKET REAR CONNECTORS (OPTIONAL)
RS232 Connections: Make a 3-pin cable
Use TX, RX and G (GND)
Set the RS232 parameters to: 9600 bds
8 bits, no parity, 2 stop bits
RS232 Triggering
To play a scene, send 3 bytes (HEX mode): 1 x 255 (x = scene number)
To stop a scene, send 3 bytes (HEX mode): 2 x 255 (x = scene number)
To pause a scene, send 3 bytes (HEX mode): 3 x 255 (x = scene number)
To release a scene, send 3 bytes (HEX mode): 4 x 255 (x = scene number)
To reset a scene, send 3 bytes (HEX mode): 5 x 255 (x = scene number)
Note: the scene number (x) can be from 1 to 40. For instance, 11 means Page B, Scene #3
Troubleshooting
If the on/off and all 8 LED buttons are ashing, the SD card is missing or damaged
If all 8 LED buttons are ashing, the SD card is empty
If all LEDs are ashing, there is a problem with the rmware
Ports 1-8: Use ports 1 to 8 to make contacts
between G (GND) and P1...P8
Blackout: Connect a relay
Use the 2 pins BK and G (GND)

USING ESA PRO SOFTWARE TO PROGRAM YOUR CONTROLLER
Adding Your DMX Devices
The Fixtures Patch
The editor screen is the place where you will have to patch your xtures. This is the rst thing to do to create
your show.
Click on the “Add xture(s)” button from the toolbar to open the “Patch manager” window.
Here is the procedure to add new xtures:
- select the prole from the left-side manufacturer list
- select the DMX universe
- enter the rst DMX channel (address of the 1st xture)
- enter the number of devices
- validate by clicking on the “patch” button
Note: There is a another method to add a xture. You can directly drag and drop the prole to the grid. Then,
you can right-click on the xture and select “duplicate” from the menu to add more devices (using the same
prole).
Once the patch is ready, you will need to create and setup the zones (areas). The next section shows how to
proceed.

CREATING A NEW SHOW
THE ZONES PATCH
You can then decide to setup several zones (areas). Zones are very important for a multi-room installation in
order to be able to play a different scene for each zone.
All xtures are assigned to the “global area” by default. This zone can play a sequence for all xtures and
cannot be removed.
As an example, we can create 2 zones (Room 1 and Room 2). From the “Areas” window, click on the left-side
button “+” to add a new zone. Click on the “Rename” button from the toolbar to call it “Room 1” and repeat the
operation for the second zone.
You will then have to click on the “Areas patch” button from the toolbar to assign your xtures. Remember
they are all assigned to the “Global area” and cannot be removed from it.
You can assign your DMX devices to an area within the Areas tab or the Fixtures tab.
Using the Areas tab, simply select the area on the left (1) then select the devices you wish to include within the
area (2).
