1. To test the lamp offline, you need to insert the SD card. If the lamp is not lit, first make sure that the wiring is correct, check whether the IC of the lamp matches the controller, and press the Set key to select the chip. If you do not know the chip, you can try one by one, as long as you try to get the normal effect, because some chips are compatible at present.
2. The programs in the SD card are for testing. If you need more patterns, you may need to use other programming software to produce more complex and diverse animations.
3. Because customers who use this controller basically use the programming software Madrix, we usually use this software for demonstration.
4. The programming software in the SD card can make regular wiring diagrams. If you have made a wiring diagram, you can import the DXF file, and then import the made animation file (TOL or SWF). The recorded program is saved to the SD card for offline use. The software has screen recording function, which can record the produced animation video and save it to the SD card.
5. The controller supports the ARTNET protocol. Your computer needs at least two network ports, one connected to the external network and the other connected to the controller. Change the network adapter. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) for the network properties of the controller, select to manually set the IP address 192.168. *. * *, subnet mask 250.250.250.0
6. Do not connect the network cable, insert the SD card, connect your lamp, plugged in the controller and lamp to the power supply, and check whether the lamp is on. If you are sure that your operation is correct, and you have tried all IC options, and the lights are not on, Unfortunately, the controller cannot control your lamp.

How to use online:
1.Setting for connecting computer through ARTNET protocol.
2.Supports ARTNET protocol and widely used for lighting software and console. Supports MADRIX software.
3.Online, set the parameters of the controller, 4 settings required. Just set the first controller connected to the computer.
4.Long pressing "Set" , power on the controller at the same time. The digital display screen displays HXXX, enter the setting interface.
5.Press "Mode" to switch between HXXX, FXXX, CXXX, d510. "Speed+" and "Speed-" to set specific parameters. After setting, press "Set" to save and exit the setting interface. (View video)              
6.A network card can hold on 170×256=43520 pixels. Set to H680, 4 channels of ARTNET are occupied. 8-port controller occupies a total 4×8=32 channels of ARTNET. When the controller is fully loaded, Only 8 controllers can be cascaded, with a maximum of 43520 pixels. If you need more pixels, you need to add a network card.
