The iDrive lite is designed to control fixtures containing between 18 and 36 RGB LED s. Please ensure that the LED fixture is plugged into the iDrive RJ45 connector before the mains is switched on, this is important since the system will perform a diagnostic scan of the LED fixture when powered up. The diagnostic scan will test for two functions. 1.Open or short circuits in the LED fixture and wiring. If this is detected the faulty channel will be isolated. The RED LED wiring fault indicator will illuminate to confirm this. The iDrive should be turned off at the mains and the fault rectified before powering up the system again. 2. The second scan will look for a thermistor on the LED fixture, as recommended in the wiring specification (page 4). If a thermistor is found the thermal feedback protection will be activated in the iDrive. Both these scans take less than 1 second to perform and only take place on initial power up of the system. Mains Indicator - Indicates power onto the x100 x10 x1 iDrive DMX Indicator - When the rotary switches are set to a DMX address i.e. between 001 and 510, this indicator will flash until the iDrive receives a DMX input via the DMX 5-pin XLR input. Once a DMX signal is received, the amber indicator stops flashing and stays permanently on. Wiring Fault Indicator - The iDrive has short/open circuit protection. In the event of the DMX Wiring Fault LED fixture being incorrectly wired, the indicator Indicator Indicator will be permanently on until the fault in the LED fixture has been corrected. Mains Indicator The iDrive uses DMX 512A - the latest ESTA DMX standard, using isolated 5-pin XLR connections for both input and output. The iDrive can be used in DMX mode or stand alone mode. For DMX Settings The rotary switches should be set to between 001 and 510. Normally address 0.0.1 is sufficient for a 3 channel and master DMX controller. For Stand Alone Settings The iDrive contains many pre-set programmes. 600 - 636 - This setting provides 36 different preset colours - 636 being a white setting, i.e. all LEDS full on. 700 - 799 - These are the cross fade settings with DMX IN DMX OUT different speed functions. 800 - 819 - Cycle Wash Pre-set. There are two preset cyclic washes, either clockwise or anti-clockwise with speed control colourcool IST Ltd is a certified Future Electronics is the solid state lighting division of IST Ltd Patented: USA 6,963,175.B2 LUXEON Solution Partner V.1.7 GB 2369730
