Setting up the Controller
Dry Contact Port Triggering
It is possible to start scenes using the
input ports (contact closure). To activate
a port, a brief contact of at least 1/25
second must be established between the
ports (1...8) and the ground (GND). Note:
the scene will not be switched off when
the switch is released.

Infra Red
The controller works with the official IR remote control. A 36khz infra
red receiver can also be connected as an extension, such as the
TSOP34836 by Vishay Semiconductors. Farnell ref: 4913127. It’s a
good idea to add a resistor and capacitor to surpress power supply
disturbance.
iPhone/iPad/Android Control
The controller can be used with one of 2 different apps. Each
available at Google Play and the App store.
Easy Remote
Create an entirely customized remote controller for your tablet
or smartphone. Easy Remote is a powerful and intuitive app
allowing you to easily add buttons, faders, color wheels and
more. Connect to a WiFi network and the app will find all
compatible devices.
Arcolis
The Arcolis application is a comprehensive tool allowing you
to directly control and re-program the controller from your
smartphone or tablet. This is a simple application which can
be used by just about everyone in any situation. Mobile, easy
to use and powerful, Arcolis is the ideal controller for dimming
or switching traditional, LED and RGB color mixing DMX
lighting fixtures. Program static and dynamic lighting scenes
and effects.

UDP Triggering
The controller can be connected to an existing automation system
over a network and triggered via UDP packet on port 2430. Refer to
the remote protocol document for more information.
Network Control
The controller can be connected to a local network, allowing it to be
controlled from a smartphone or tablet over WiFi.
• Connect the controller to a router or switch with an RJ45 cable
• The controller is set by default to get an IP address from the
router via DHCP. If the network is not working with DHCP, a
manual IP address and subnet mask can be set using the
Hardware Manager
• If the network has a filewall enabled, allow port 2430
Programming the Controller
The controller can be programmed from a PC, Mac, Tablet or Smartphone using the software available on our website. Refer to
the corresponding software manual for more information. The firmware can be updated using the Hardware Manager which is
included with the programming software.

Service
Servicable parts include:
•
Memory card - used to store the scenes
•
Battery - used to store the clock/calendar
•
DMX Chip for universe 1 - used to drive the DMX (see p2.)
*To replace the Li-Ion rechargeable battery :
1. You need a rechargeable 3.6v LIR 2032 replacement battery
2. Remove the underside of the plastic casing with the 2 screws
3. Pull the battery out of its holder, being careful not to pull the holder
itsself
4. Slide the replacement battery in from the top, making sure the positive side is as marked
5. Re-attach the casing

Troubleshooting
‘888’ is showing on the display
‘OFF’ is showing on the display
The controller is in bootloader mode. This is a special ‘startup mode’
which is run before the main firmware loads.
-Try re-writing the firmware with the latest hardware manager
-Try formatting or replacing the SD card
There is no showfile detected on the SD memory card.
-Try formatting the SD card in the computer
-Try re-writing the show file
-Try replacing the SD memory card
‘OFF’ is flashing on the display
The lights are not responding
There is no SD card detected.
-Check the SD card is properly connected
-Try formatting the SD card in the computer
-Try re-writing the show file
-Try replacing the SD memory card
-Check the DMX + - and GND are connected correctly
-Check that the driver or lighting fixture is in DMX mode
-Be sure that the DMX address has been set correctly
-Check there are no more than 32 devices in the chain
-Check that the red DMX LED is flickering. There’s one by each XLR
-Connect with the computer and open Hardware Manager (found in the
software directory). Open the DMX Input/Output tab and move the faders.
If your fixtures respond here, it is possibly a problem with the show file
The controller is not detected by the
computer
-Be sure that the latest software version is installed
-Connect by USB and open the Hardware Manager (found in the software
directory). If it’s detected here, try to update the firmware
