Introduction

The Tuneable White version of the Colour Theme Controller is a DMX show generator with a simple

and intuitive user interface, specifically designed for use with Digilin’s LDMX-PWM-2-VW to control

installations of tuneable white LED fittings. Tuneable white fittings allow the user to set the colour

temperature through a set range of values, thus allowing the user to set the mood and ambience of

an area by controlling the colour temperature of the white light.

Additionally, the Colour Theme Controller has a serial interface which provides an interface to PC or

any number of lighting control networks.

Installation

Wiring

The Colour Theme has a single 4 way screw

terminal block, as shown in Figure 1. This

provides connections for the power and data.

The positive voltage input should be between

+12V and +24V. This cable can be secured to

the cable mount point using a cable tie.

If using the serial interface, connect the unit

using a null modem cable (refer to Appendix A.

RS232 Null Modem Cables Using RJ45

Connectors to see how these cables are

constructed) to the chosen host.

Mounting

The Colour Theme Controller is housed in a standard Clipsal plate, and as such is compatible with any

standard mounting boxes or clips. There is also a mounting frame (Clipsal Part number 4000VH1)

available in 5 colours that can be used to cover the black base and compliment wall colour.

To install the Colour Theme Controller

1. Remove the knob by gently pulling it straight back

2. Remove the fascia by inserting a small flat blade screwdriver into the slots on the top and

bottom of the plate and lever it off.

3. Mount to wall using appropriate hardware.

4. Re-attach fascia by pushing it into place at the top then at the bottom.

5. Re-install the knob by gently sliding it onto the shaft.

DMX Output Format

The DMX output of the Tuneable White version of the Colour Theme Controller is specifically

formatted to control the LDMX-PWM-2. The data is as per the table below.

DMX Channel

Data

Notes

Colour Temperature

Sets the ratio of warm to cool white from 0 (100% warm white)

to 255 (100% cool white).

Dim Level

Sets the brightness level of the connected LED fitting from

100% (DMX 255) to off (DMX 0).

Operation

Software Version

On power up, the Colour Theme Controller will briefly display 2 codes. First it will briefly display -2-,

indicating that this is a 2 channel Colour Theme. Next it will display the firmware version.

Dimming

The tuneable white version of the Colour Theme Controller allows the light level to be dimmed

from 100% to off in 5% steps. This is done by turning the knob (clockwise to increase dim level,

anti-clockwise to decrease it). The display will show the current dim level until dimmed to off, at

which point the display will turn off.

Setting the Colour Temperature

To alter the colour temperature of the connected fittings, press the knob on the Colour Theme

Controller for 0.5 seconds. The display will change to show the approximate colour temperature

(presuming the standard bins of VariWhite LED strip are connected) in kiloKelvin (ie 3000K would

should show as 3.00 on the display). The value can now be altered rotating the knob (clockwise will

make the light cooler, anti-clockwise warmer).

Switching Drivers Off

To turn off the LED light fittings, simply give a short press to the knob (less than 0.5 seconds). The

unit will then display OFF for a period of 10 seconds before the display goes blank.

While the Colour Theme Controller is off, any show running is paused. To turn the light fittings back

on, simply press the knob or turn it clockwise to increase the dim level.

Storing Default Setting

Storing a default setting will set which colour temperature and dim level the Colour Theme Controller

will load when first power on (the factory default colour temperature is 3000K). To change this, with

the unit turned on, select the desired show and dim level. Next press and hold the knob for a period

of 2.5 seconds. The display will cycle to the dim setting, and then the unit will briefly flash to off.

Once the unit is back on, the setting is saved.

Serial Interface

The Colour Theme Controller features an RS232 serial interface with the following data format:

9600 baud

8 bit data

1 stop bit

No parity

No flow control

The pin-out for the RJ45 connector is covered in Appendix A RS232 Null Modem Cables using RJ45

Connectors.

User Config uration

Configuration mode allows the user to change various settings (as listed in Table 1). To use this

mode, the Colour Theme Controller will need to be connected to a computer running a terminal

program

(configured with the settings from above), via the RJ45 serial connection. Before power

up, place a jumper on the pins of JP1 (refer to Figure 1).

Once the Colour Theme Controller is powered up, it should print a menu like that shown in Figure 2

in the terminal program window. To alter settings, simply follow the instructions in the menu

(settings are saved automatically as they are altered). To exit configuration mode, power off the

Colour Theme Controller and remove the jumper on JP1.

Serial Commands

This mode provides a simple method to control the Colour Theme Controller via a PC (or any

device in which the serial data output can be formatted correctly, which includes a number of

home automation/lighting control systems.). If echo is enabled, characters sent will be echoed

back, unless an incorrect character is detected (i.e. not a number), in which case all characters

will be ignored until the carriage return character is detected.

The command to set the currently running show is simply a 1 to 3 digit number (transmitted in

ASCII). The Colour Theme Controller interprets this value as the desired colour temperature as it

would be shown on the display (minus the decimal point), and sets the output to this value, or

the closest level below this value that it can achieve.

The command to dim is the ‘-‘ character followed by a number in the range of 0 to 20 (in ASCII).

Each value represents a 5% step in the dim level, with 0 being off and 20 being 100%. A dim

command can directly follow a show command. Refer to Appendix B. Serial Command Examples

for further explanation.

temperature of 2940K. This is the closest level achievable to the entered

value.

Example 3

This command will turn the Colour Theme Controller off.

Example 5

This command will set the dim level to 100%.

Example 6

This command demonstrates how a show and dim level can be sent in a

single command. The command will set the Colour Theme Controller to a

colour temperature of 3600K with dim level set to 25%. Note there are

no spaces in this command.
