GETTING STARTED
ATG Electronics® DynColor™ series RGB DMX Controllers are designed specially for manage most RGB LED products of ATG Electronics.
DynColor™ 300-FS (Part Number: HCD-00300-000000-FS) is compatible with iLinear™ R60T RGB LED Ribbon Strips, iSignage™ 36T RGB LED Flex Strips, eCove™ WP27T RGB LED Rigid Strips, eCove™ T30T RGB LED Rigid Strips and oSignage™ WP6T RGB LED Modules.
Based on high performance microprocessor technology, supporting standard DMX512 protocol, it is available for cross-platform operation on DMX console or DMX simulation software (our DMX Controllers support most DMX consoles and DMX simulation software, A TEST-OPERATION IS HIGHLY RECOMMANDED.) With this enhanced tool, you can manage and design color changing patterns and changing speeds from across platforms.
With over 30 preprogrammed color changing patterns, including gradual changing, screening and jumping. As a powerful color managing controller, it will enable you to choose the desired pattern and according speed to manage the RGB lighting fixtures.
With 0 to 100 dimming grades, you can also control the color and brightness according to your requirements easily, to mix up to 1 million different colors.
The LCD monitor on the controller offers a easy and visible managing method; the mounting bracket will enable the operator to easily fix the controller onto any place.
This guide contains important information about installing and operating your new DynColor™ 300-RL safely and accurately.

This device installation requires planning to ensure timely, successful installation with minimal complications and down time.
Planning Suggestions
Consult an Electrical Inspector to review all wiring plans.
Create a Layout Plan drawing, per a Lighting Designer's or Architect's recommendation.
Consult ATG Electronics Application Engineering Services as needed.
Installation Considerations
When creating your installation plan, consider the following:
1) Location of the controller
ATG Electronics recommends that the controller is placed in dry environment.
2) Selection of soldering tools
Ensure that the tool selected is appropriate for the soldering surface.
3) Maximum Driving Quantity
If you need drive more than above length, amplifier(s) is needed.
Installation Steps
1) Make sure the switch is keeping off before wiring or installation.
2) Connect the RGB fixtures via data wire onto the right interface on the controller; make sure red wire is connected to "RED" interface, blue wire to "BLUE" interface, green wire to "GREEN" interface and black (or white) wire to the "COM+" interface.
3) Connect power supply to the input interface of the controller; make sure the positive wire is connected to "DC+" interface and negative wire to "DC-" interface.
4) Plug the power supply into power outlet to switch on the controller.
5) Choose the desired color pattern, and set changing speed etc.

6) How to set the DMX controller under DMX512 mode?
Under DMX512 mode, the DMX controller occupies 2 channels/addresses. The first channel/address is for mode selection; the second channel/address is for speed selection.
Please follow the below steps to set up your DMX controller:
① Set DMX controller to DMX512 MODE;
② Set DMX channel/address for the DMX controller: if the DMX channel/address is set to 13, the controller will occupy channel/address 13 & 14; if the DMX channel/address is set to 128, the controller will occupy channel/address 128 & 129;
③ Manage the first channel/address on the DMX console, like 13 or 128, to select the preferred pattern to use;
④ Manage the second channel/address on the DMX console, like 14 or 129, to set the changing speed.
7) How to set the DMX controller under DMX512 DECODER mode?
Under DMX512 DECODER mode, the DMX controller occupies 3 channels/addresses. The first channel/address is for adjusting brightness of red color; the second channel/address is for adjusting brightness of green color; the third channel/address is for adjusting brightness of blue color.
① Set DMX controller to DMX512 DECODER mode;
② Set DMX channel/address for the DMX controller: if the DMX channel/address is set to 13, the controller will occupy channel/address 13, 14 & 15; if the DMX channel/address is set to 128, the controller will occupy channel/address 128, 129 & 130;
③ Manage the first channel/address on the DMX console, like 13 or 128, to adjust the brightness of red color;
④ Manage the second channel/address on the DMX console, like 14 or 129, to adjust the brightness of green color;
