LiteDimmer Single
The LiteGear LiteDimmer Single is a basic flicker-free controller for nearly all configurations
of Matchstix implementations. The maximum current load that can be controlled on a singe
LiteDimmer is 8A, meaning that up to a combined 8 feet of Matchstix can be controlled on
a single dimmer. DC power is passed through the LiteDimmer and can operate at within the
voltage range of the Matchstix, passing through the dimmed power to the attached Matchstix
using cables and splitters.
Note that, in addition to the rotary dimming control, the power
switch on the dimmer offers two dimming ranges for precise control
of low light levels.
LiteGear E-Control 4x4 V3 DMX Dimmer
For installations requiring remote control, the LiteGear E-Control 4x4 V3 DMX Dimmer
provides up to 4 channels of DMX control from a single unit, each channel capable of a 4A
load, i.e. up to 4 feet of Matchstix per channel.
The DMX dimmer and subsequent loads require a 15A
power supply for full operation.
Power is provided for the unit by passing DC power for the
Matchstix through the unit, as shown:
The DMX dimmer is provided with adapter cables for use with standard 5-pin XLR connections
for both DMX IN and THRU. The DMX pin-out wiring is as follows:
• Pin 1: Signal Common
• Pin 2: Data -
• Pin 3: Data +
• Pin 4: Spare
• Pin 5: Spare
The DMX control line is self-terminating and does not require external DMX termination when
used in a control chain.
DMX Operation
The DMX Controller can be addressed using the onboard control buttons (6, s, t) to set
the DMX start value. To access DMX Mode, press 6 until you see → appear next to “DMX
ADDR” on the digital display. From this screen, use the s and t buttons to set the desired
start address for the controller. Note that the process of addressing the DMX Controller
only sets the start address for the first output. The three subsequent outputs are then
automatically assigned the three subsequent channels (e.g. addressing a start address 217
would assign channels 217, 218, 219, and 220).
