Frequently Asked Questions - LEDC09 HQ Power

How to address the LEDC09 controller in DMX mode?

To address the controller in DMX mode, set DIP switch 10 to OFF. Use DIP switches 1 to 9 to set the DMX address by adding their binary values (DIP 1 = 1, DIP 2 = 2, DIP 3 = 4, etc.). For example, for address 19, activate DIP 1, 2, and 5 (1+2+16=19). Refer to the table in the manual for more combinations.

How to use test mode for a static color?

Activate test mode by setting DIP switch 10 to ON, and DIP 8 and 9 to OFF. Then select a static color by activating only one DIP switch among 1 to 7 according to the table: DIP 1 = red, DIP 2 = green, DIP 3 = blue, DIP 4 = yellow, DIP 5 = purple, DIP 6 = cyan, DIP 7 = white. If multiple DIPs are activated, the highest one takes precedence. If none are activated, all LEDs are off.

How to configure automatic color change?

Set DIP switch 10 to ON. For color change, activate DIP 8 and deactivate DIP 9. For color fade, activate DIP 9 (DIP 8 can be ON or OFF). Then set the speed by activating one DIP among 1 to 7: the higher the DIP, the faster the speed. For example, for a medium speed color change, activate DIP 4 and DIP 8.

What types of LED strips can I connect?

The LEDC09 controller is designed for RGB+W LED strips (red, green, blue, white) with a voltage of 12-24 VDC. Connect the wires to the terminals: COM (common), CH1 (red), CH2 (green), CH3 (blue), CH4 (white). Ensure the total power does not exceed 192 W at 12 V or 384 W at 24 V.

What power supply is required for the LEDC09?

The device requires an external power supply of 12 to 24 VDC (not included). Maximum power depends on voltage: 192 W at 12 V and 384 W at 24 V. Use a suitable power supply with sufficient current (maximum 4 x 4 A per channel). Observe polarity: V+ and V-.

How to connect the controller to an external DMX controller?

You can use either a 3-pin XLR connector or an RJ45 (8P8C) connector. Connect the DMX cable from the external controller to the DMX input (IN) of the LEDC09. Never use both connector types simultaneously. For DMX output (OUT), connect another device in series.

What to do if the LED strips do not light up?

First check the power supply: ensure voltage and polarity are correct. Check the terminal connections (COM, CH1-CH4). In DMX mode, ensure the address is correct and the external DMX controller is sending a signal. In test mode, check the position of the DIP switches. If nothing works, contact a qualified technician.

Can I use both XLR and RJ45 connectors simultaneously?

No, you must use exclusively one or the other. The manual states: 'Use 8P8C connectors or 3-pin XLR connectors. Never use both connectors at the same time.' Simultaneous use may damage the device.

How to clean and maintain the controller?

Before any cleaning, unplug the device. Use a dry cloth to remove dust. Never use liquids or abrasive products. Protect the device from moisture, extreme temperatures, and shocks. Ensure the ventilation slots are not obstructed.

What are the warranty conditions?

The LEDC09 has a 24-month warranty against manufacturing defects from the date of purchase. The warranty does not cover damage due to incorrect use, neglect, unauthorized modifications, or normal wear. For any claim, return the device with proof of purchase to your dealer.

5. Test Mode

In test mode, you can set a static colour, or use changing colours at different speeds.

Static Colour

To set a static colour:

1. Set DIP switch 10 to ON.
2. Set DIP switches 8 and 9 to OFF.
3. Select the desired static colour by setting the corresponding DIP switch (1-7) to on. If all DIP switches are off, all LED lights are out. If more than one DIP switch is set to on, the DIP switch with the highest value prevails:

Colour	DIP switch
	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
Red	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Green	x	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Blue	x	x	1	0	0	0	0	0	0
Yellow	x	x	x	1	0	0	0	0	0
Purple	x	x	x	x	1	0	0	0	0
Cyan	x	x	x	x	x	1	0	0	0
White	x	x	x	x	x	x	1	0	0

0 = off; 1 = on; x = can be either on or off.

Changing Colours

To use changing colours:

1. Set DIP switch 10 to ON.

2. Choose the desired dynamic mode:

3. For switching colours, set DIP switch 8 to on and DIP switch 9 to off.

4. For fading colours, set DIP switch 9 to on (DIP switch 8 can be either on or off).

5. Set the speed of the colour change by setting the corresponding DIP switch (1-7) to on. All DIP switches off = slowest; DIP switch 7 on = fastest. If more than one DIP switch is set to on, the DIP switch with the highest value prevails.

LEDC09

Some examples:

Mode	DIP switch
	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
Switching colours at medium speed	x	x	x	1	0	0	0	1	0
Fading colours at maximum speed	x	x	x	x	x	x	1	x	1

0 = off; 1 = on; x = can be either on or off.

6. DMX Mode

To set the device to work with a DMX controller:

1. Set DIP switch 10 to OFF.
2. Connect the external DMX controller to the DMX input.

Caution: Use either 8P8C connectors or 3-pin XLR connectors. Do not use both.

1. Use DIP switches 1-9 to specify the DMX address:

Address	DIP switches
5
19
40

Switch	Represents
1	1
2	2
3	4
4	8
5	16
6	32
7	64
8	128
9	256

Set more than one DIP switch on and add their corresponding values to obtain the desired DMX address. For example: if only DIP switch 8 is on, the DMX address is 128. To obtain DMX address 19, set DIP switches 1, 2, and 5 to on (1 + 2 + 16 = 19).
