The AL-DIMMER-3F is a multifunction LED dimmer with 3 channels. It is

designed to set the intensity for R.G.B. LEDs, features that the three

channels' intensity can be controlled separately by the relevant fader. The

Dip-switch is applied to set working mode and DMX address. It is available

in online operation, DMX control mode for slave control, Auto and Manual

Dim mode for master control, in additionally, infrared remote controllable

as well.

The AL-DIMMER-3F features the user may use the 3 faders to separately control the intensity of the 3 channels

(Red, Green & Blue). Meanwhile, the outputs intensity of these 3 channels also can be controlled by Dipswitch,

DMX or infrared remote controller. At this time, the intensity channels work on the principle of "highest takes

precedence"(HTP). If the intensity is turned on at diffirerent levels in several memories, the highest level will be

output.

In this mode, both the dip-switch 10 and 11 are flipped to the "OFF"

position, Flip the dip-switch 1~3 to set the intensity of Red LEDs,

the dip-switch 4~6 to set the intensity of Green LEDs and the dip-switch

7~9 to set the intensity of Blue LEDs. Please refer to the following table

*Please Note: Improvements and specifications in the design of the unit and the manual are subject to

change without any prior written notice.

A DMX value(address) is set by combining the different dipswitches that will add up to the value you wish to achieve,

for example:

Setting DMX address for 21.

Flip switches1,3,&5 to the

"ON" position

Setting DMX address for 201.

Flip switches1,4,7,& 8 to the

"ON" position

Dipswitches# Value

2.DMX Control Mode(DMX Addressing)-Slave Control

DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal binary language used as a form of communication between

intelligent fixtures. Each Dip Switch represents a binary value.

In this mode, the dip-switch 11 is flipped to the "ON" position, DMX address

can be set and the intensity of LED is controlled. Red effect is controlled by

Ch1, Green effect is controlled by Ch2 and Blue effect is controlled by Ch3.

Dip Switch 1 address equals 1

Dip Switch 2 address equals 2

Dip Switch 3 address equals 4

Dip Switch 4 address equals 8

Dip Switch 5 address equals 16

Dip Switch 6 address equals 32

Dip Switch 7 address equals 64

Dip Switch 8 address equals 128

Dip Switch 9 address equals 256

4.2.Operation Instructions

4.2.1 Before operation, make sure the batteries(3V, CR2025) have been installed properly.

4.2.2 Operation Instructions

There are 8 dedicated color brightness keys(marked Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, White, Magenta, Yellow, Amber).

The "AUTO" and the "UNIT SETTING" keys, as well as Raise&Lower keys(marked for "raise" and for "lower")

are on the remote unit.

The detailed function will be illustrated in the next table.

5.1.Connecting an external connected IR EYE sensor to the AL-DIMMER-3F

5.1.1 Before connecting, please isolate the main power.

5.1.2 Plug the external connected IR EYE sensor into the external IR connector correctly.

5.1.3 Thus, turn the main power on.

Note:

1).Once you've confirmed all work modes and relative parameters, you can remove the external connected IR EYE

sensor.

2).NEVER remove the external connected IR sensor when powering on for preventing from the damage.

The AL-DIMMER-3F is available in being controlled by external connected IR EYE sensor. The IR EYE sensor

should be connected properly before operation.

In online operation, only one master AL-DIMMER-3F is allowed in a link. The master controls the slave

AL-DIMMER-3F and maximum 32pcs can be controlled.

Note:

NOTE:

Effective distance from IR sensor to LED Remote controller shall be limited within the range of 10m. Otherwise, it

results out of control.
