Notes

•Install in a dry sheltered position

•Interior use only

•Ensure adequate ventilation

•Installation should only be performed by a qualified professional

•Install in accordance with all appropriate wiring standards

•Never connect a LED fitting to a driver that is powered. Doing so may result in damage to the LED.

•Always make sure the output voltage range and output current of the LED driver match the

requirements of the LED fitting. Failure to do so may result in damage both the driver and fitting.

Introduction

The WebColour is a web-based interface to control RGB or RGBW LED light installations. The user can

access the interface from any device that includes a modern web browser, this includes computers,

laptops, smart phones, tablets, smart TVs and gaming systems. The WebColour includes triggering options

for power-up and 10 alarms that can be configured to occur on individual days, and uses NTP for accurate

time keeping.

There are 2 models in the range, the PWM model which allows for direct control of the LED installation, or a

DMX version which allows for control of larger installations.

Installation

Quick Start Guide

1. Connect the Ethernet port of the WebColour to your home/business network

2. Connect the load. Either

a. For the PWM version connect the LED strips or fittings to be driven to the PWM outputs.

Do not exceed the individual or total maximum currents; or

b. Connect the DMX output from the WebColour to the DMX input of a DMX receiver with

its base address set to 1.

3. Connect 12 -24VDC to the power input. Note that for the PWM version the input voltage must

match the voltage requirements of the LED strips or fittings that have been connected.

4. Apply power to the unit. Wait for the Ethernet Connectivity LED to be lit.

5. On a PC connected to the same network, open your chosen web browser and enter

http://webcolour in the address bar (the entire

address is needed, do not skip the http:// part).

Note that if using a system that is not NETBIOS

enabled, you will need to determine the IP

address of the unit.

6. Click on the configuration button

7. Click the right arrow once to bring up the clock

settings. Make changes if required and save

changes.

a. NTP stands for Network Time Protocol.

This allows the WebColour to set it’s time

from an internet source. It is only necessary to disable this if the WebColour will not have

a permanent internet connection.

8. Click the right arrow again to bring up the System settings.

a. Enter a unit name. This should a short descriptive name to help identify it (particularly if

you have more than 1 WebColour on a network). Names can be letters and numbers only.

b. Select a power up state.

c. At this point it is recommended to disable DHCP and set a static IP address. This allows for

easier access for mobile devices (which are not NETBIOS enabled). Normally, to do this

you will only need to change the last number of the IP address to something outside the

range of your DHCP server lease range. For most home/small office networks, the

modem/router acts as the DHCP server.

d. Select the Output mode, either RGB or RGBW.

e. Save the changes.

9. Re-boot the system. It can now be accessed using the new Unit Name you entered or using the

static IP address, i.e. if you set the Unit name to DeckLights and a static IP address to 192.168.0.8

then it can be accessed by

http://DeckLights or http://192.168.0.8

Determining the IP Address

If using a system that is NetBIOS enabled, the IP Address of the WebColour can be determined by pinging

the unit name.

To do this, open a command prompt window, and enter the command “ping unitname”. The result will

include the IP Address of the WebColour. An example of this is given in Figure 1, where the Unit Name is

webcolour and the returned IP address is 192.168.0.8.

If, however you are not using a NETBIOS enabled system or you have forgotten the Unit Name, there are

still options. Probably the best is the use of a broadcast ping and arp commands.

To do this, you will need to know your computers IP address and netmask. In a command prompt, you then

need to ping broadcast address. The broadcast address is the IP address with 255 in the positions where

there are 0’s in the netmask. For example, on a computer with an IP address of 192.168.0.23 and a netmask

of 255.255.255.0, the broadcast address is 192.168.0.255. Note that it may look like there is no response to

the ping command.

The next step is to enter the command “arp –a”. This will provide a list of all the IP addresses that the

computer now knows (after the broadcast ping). One of these addresses will be the WebColour.

Unfortunately, each returned address must be tested (by attempting to access it in the web browser) to

determine which is the WebColour. This command sequence is shown for the above example in Figure 2.
