I. RC4 does not recommend using a low voltage DC dimmer to control mains-powered AC devices A. If at all possible, the high voltage product should be converted to a low voltage product, either by modifying it (for example, replacing the motor in a fan) or finding a...
RC4Magic Series 3 wireless dimming, with black-feathered purple labels, was introduced mid-2014 and is state-of-the-art. Series 3 technology is compatible with Series 2, so you can continue to expand your S2 system by adding new S3 devices.
Smoothly Dim a Flicker Candle Module (DMX4dim)
I. All RC4 Series 3 Harmonized Design devices operate from 6 volts to 35 volts and can directly drive devices that operate within that voltage range A. This tutorial demonstrates a method for dimming DC loads that require less than 6V (a low-cost 3V flicker candle) B....
CV Control of Architectural Fixtures
This video is a detailed tutorial. See Intro to CV Control of Architectural Fixtures for an overview. I. How to retrofit wireless LED technology into a custom architectural project. In the example, the lighting elements are decorative LED strips and a Cree primary...
Intro to CV Control of Architectural Fixtures: DMX2dim
This video is a simplified introduction. See CV Control of Architectural Fixtures for detailed tutorial. I. Introductory overview of architectural retrofitting for wireless dimming A. System components demonstrated here are decorative lights and a bright Cree primary...
Connect RGB LED Tape to a W-DIM Wireless Dimmer (W-DIMm3)
I. Using RC4 W-DIMm3 with RGB LED tape A. This is a three channel unit B. The common on the vast majority of LED products is positive C. Many times, manufacturers use colors of internal wires to indicate the colors of LEDs 1. red wire= red LED 2. green wire= green LED...
Connect RGBx LED Tape to a DMX4dim
I. The process for connecting RGBx 4-channel LED tape is the same for all RC4 4-channel dimmers, regardless of the particular product family or model A. LEDs look best when dimmed using the Inverse Square Law curve -- ISL. This is different than conventional filament...
Configuration Using RC4 OneTouch™ Buttons (DMXpix)
This video is configuring the DMXpix with a Zero 88 Fat Frog console in wide mode with 48 channels using an RC4Magic DMXio and RC4Magic DMXpix (applicable to both the 2.4GHz system which is the example being used in this video as well as the 900MHz dual pixel string...
Ring a Telephone with a Wireless Dimmer (DMX2dim)
I. This process for ringing a phone works for all RC4 Series 3 Harmonized Design™ dimmers (RC4Magic Series 3, RC4Magic-900, RC4 LumenDim, RC4 W-DIM). This demonstration uses an RC4Magic Series 3 DMX2dim. A. A Step up is...
How to Use any RC4Magic Device as a Dongle
This video uses an older RC4 S3 device as an example, but the functionality remains the same in all new RC4 Magic devices. This information applies to 2.4GHz and 900MHz devices. I .Using an RC4Magicdevice as a dongle enables the unit to function as a data...
Multiple Voltages, Just One Wireless Dimmer!
I. Low voltage batteries, called cells, can be connected in series to produce larger voltages. This is how most battery packs work, and it's what is happening in the battery compartment of most battery-powered consumer electronics and toys. A. Access to multiple...
