Use Instruction
DR01 is controlled by the DMX signal system. At the same time, a built-in test function can be used to illuminate the LED load without a DMX signal during the installation process, and press the "MODE" key to switch between different test modes (displayed as "PLxx") and speed (displayed "SPxx"). DR01 has the function of automatically recognizing DMX signals. When there is a DMX signal, it will automatically enter the DMX control state. The digital tube displays the start address of the DMX (displayed as "Dxxx").
Button functions
| Button | Description |
| MODE | 1.Single press the MODE button to switch: 1) “Dxxx”: DMX start address setting, D001-D512; 2) “PLxx”: test modes setting, PL01-PLFL; 3) “SPxx”: the speed of test modes setting, SP01-SP99. 2. Long pressing the MODE and SAVE buttons for 3 seconds to enter the advanced settings; after entering the advanced settings, press the MODE button to switch: 1) “CHxx”: DMX decoding profile setting, CH01-CH09; 2) “PFxx”: PWM frequency setting, PF05-PFF0; 3) “gAxx”: Gamma curve selection, gA01- gA22; 4) “rst0”: Restore factory settings selection, RST0-RST1. |
| UP | Increase the menu data entered by the MODE key. |
| DOWN | Decrease the menu data entered by the MODE key. |
| SAVE | After any setting operation is completed, please press SAVE to save, the digital tube will display "SAVE" and automatically exit the setting state after 1 second. |
Note: please refer to the corresponding parts for specific function description.
Set DMX start address
By pressing the MODE key, when the digital tube displays dxxx (xxx is 001-512), it enters the address setting mode. Press the UP / DOWN key to set the address (long press for quick adjustment), the digital tube displays the current address in real time (e.x. d032-start address is 32), and then press the "SAVE" key to save. DR01 is also compatible with the RDM protocol, so it can also set its address through the RDM controller. The digital tube will display the address given to it by the RDM controller in real time and save it automatically (no need to press the "SAVE" key).
Select test mode
Press the "MODE" key, when the digital tube displays PLxx, enter the test mode selection; the mode can be switched by the UP / DOWN keys.

Note: The test mode list is determined by the DMX decoding type set.
Set test mode speed
Press the "MODE" key, when the digital tube displays SPxx (xx is 01-99), enter the test mode speed adjustment. Press the UP / DOWN key to adjust the speed (long press for quick adjustment), the digital tube displays the current speed in real time (sp01 is the slowest, sp99 is the fastest).
Please press SAVE to save the setting operation, the digital tube will display "SAVE" and automatically exit the setting state after 1 second.
