HPEPP is expecting regular intensity updates

The HPEPP is a DMX with RDM controlled device that converts DMX intensity inputs to a 0-10V dimming signal and power relay output.

The HPEPP has several field adjustable configurations which are accessed via a layered menu structure. Adjustments to the factory default settings require an
operator to perform these basic steps:

• Enter Programming Mode

• Select the desired Function & Modify the Setting

• Confirm the Setting & save via Confirmation Mode

• Exit Programming

How to Program the HPEPP - Read all 7 steps prior to programming

1. Enter Programming Mode: Press & hold the button until the LED flashes rapidly. Release the button.

Note: in each programming step the LED blinks back the current setting. Make all changes before the LED blink back occurs 10 times. After 10
indications programming mode is automatically exited and no changes are saved.

2. Press the button 1, 2, 3 or 4 times to select the Function to modify (e.g. 3 times to modify the RDM personality) Wait 2 seconds.

3. The LED flashes the current Function setting (e.g. for Function 3, by default the LED blinks 1 time).

4. Press the button the number of times indicated in the Detailed Function Programming Table below to modify the Function Settings

5. Press and holding the button until the LED flashes rapidly to enter Confirmation Mode. Release the button

6. Press the button 1, 2, 3 or 4 times to Confirm the Function Number just programmed to verify the setting, (e.g. 3 presses for RDM personality).

7. The LED blinks 2 times if the Confirmation Presses match the changed Function. If 2 blinks do not occur, repeat steps 1 through 7.
