Setting IDs on a 5 button RC4Magic Device

Mar 11, 2020

This video uses a DMX4dim as an example model, but these procedures are identical on all RC4Magic Series 2 and Series 3 devices with 5 buttons, including the RC4MagicDMXio transceiver and RC4Magic4dim-500. RC4Lumendim devices do not carry unique ID sets. 

-RC4Magic System IDs are private and unique to every user and project.

-Your ID codes belong only to you and no one else. Private IDs ensure that when everyone follows the same procedure to select  ID0 ID1ID2  unrelated systems will never connect or interfere with each other. Only RC4Magic provides this level of system data security.

-The Public ID (ID 3, code 999) is common to all RC4Magic systems ever manufactured. It allows unrelated systems to be combined intentionally if desired.

-The default ID on any RC4Magic device is ID0

 

Setting ID 0

1. The device must be off to start

2. Press and hold the  ID 0 button

3.  Apply power while the button is held down, the first yellow LED will blink several times

4.  Release the ID 0 button

 

Setting ID 1

1. The device must be off to start

2. Press and hold the  ID1 button

3. Apply power while the button is held down

4. The green LED (beside the yellow LED) will blink several times

5. Release the ID1 button

 

Setting ID 2

1. The device must be off to start

2. Press and hold the  ID2 button

3. Apply power while the button is held down

4. The yellow and green LEDs will blink together, in sync, several times

5. Release the ID2 button

 

Setting  ID 3 (Public)

1. The device must be off to start

2. Press and hold the  ID3 button (Public ID)

3. Apply power while the button is held down

4. The yellow and green LEDs will toggle back and forth several times

5. Release the ID3 button

 

-Once an ID is set in a unit, it will remain set until it is changed or the unit is restored to the factory settings, at which point it will revert back to ID0

-These blink patterns are the same for all RC4 Magic Series 3 devices
