OPERATION GUIDE
1.Luminance
The AL-DIMMER-3F HP features the user may use the 3 faders to separately control the intensity of the 3 channels
(Red, Green & Blue).Also, the outputs intensity of these 3 channels can be controlled by Dipswitch, DMX or infrared
remote controller as well. At this time, the AL-DIMMER-3F HP will take the highest luminance value as the priority
outputs intensity.
2.Output Current Option
Make sure the output current matches the power requirements of the LED fixtures prior to use AL-DIMMER-3F HP.
The output current defaults as 350mA
and a built-in Dipswitch allows the user to select the output current
as 350mA or 700mA.
While the built-in Dipswitch is "Off", the AL-DIMMER-3F HP
to link to the power, the LED indicator is blacked out ,
outputs 3 groups current of 350mA .
While the built-in Dipswitch is "On",t the AL-DIMMER-3F HP outputs
o link to the power, the LED indicator lights red,
3 groups current of 700mA .
The following contents instruct to how to make the selection for the output current as 350mA or 700mA.
1. Take out the AL-DIMMER-3F HP and the screw driver from packing.
2. Use the screw driver to prize up the rear panel of AL-DIMMER-3F HP with the proper stength, as the following
figures.
3. Use the screw driver to move the 2 way dip-switch to on or off for output current option.
1=on
2=on
Output current = 700mA
2 way dip-switch
ON
12
OFF
Output current = 350mA
1=off
2=off
4. After the current was selected, to reassemble the rear panel.
After the reassembly is completed, your AL-DIMMER-3F HP is ready to use.

3.DMX Control Mode(DMX Addressing)------Slave Mode
ON
In this mode, the dip-switch 11 is flipped to the " " position, DMX address
ON
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.

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.

Note:
In online operation, only one master AL-DIMMER-3F HP is allowed in a link. The master controls the slave
AL-DIMMER-3F HP and maximum 32pcs can be controlled.
6.IR Control (with LED Remote Operation)
The AL-DIMMER-3F HP is available in being controlled by external connected IR EYE sensor. The IR EYE sensor
should be connected properly before operation.
5.1
.Connecting an external connected IR EYE sensor to the AL-DIMMER-3F HP
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.
