Product Features
-
General Product Information
-
Basic / Dumb control over elements that use RGB lights that do not need individual control. Element examples would include:
-
Balls (MegaBall, North Pole Ball)
-
Mini Trees (RGB Mini Tree)
-
Flood lights
-
DMX addressing:
- Addressable from DMX address 1 to 510 using build in DIP switches
- Controller can be configured via DIP switch to have a variety of test modes - the following is the map for optional sequences:
- Turn ON switch 10 to activate built-in sequences
- Turning ON switch 10 will prevent the controller from responding to DMX input signals
- Switches 1-9 OFF: Black / No Output
- Switch 1 ON: Red
- Switch 2 ON: Green
- Switch 3 ON: Blue
- Switch 4 ON: Yellow
- Switch 5 ON: Purple
- Switch 6 ON: White
- Switch 7 ON: Not Used
- Switch 8 ON: Seven different colors
- Switch 9 ON: When this switch is turned on, along with switch 8 being on, then switches 1 to 7 will adjust the speed of the changes between the seven different colors
- Switch 10 ON: Envoke test mode (requires other switches to be turned on or off)
-
The small size of this controller allows mounting directly to elements. If needed, the controller can be removed from the included case/box to further reduce the size of the controller (controller must located in a waterproof location.)
-
Easy to mount with either screws (two on each side) or with hot glue to the base.
-
We have found these controllers to be nearly bullet proof with features like:
-
Short circuit protection on the inputs and outputs
-
Over current protection
-
Great for use in distributed controller elements.
-
