DMX-512 RGB LED Wash Light Control Board

Step 7 Wire Mode Switch And Speed Pot

Start with the switch, the mode switch included in the kit is a double pole, triple throw and it needs to get jumped so it can act as a 3 position switch. It is used for stand-alone function selecting.

- Just use a resistor clipping and solder in as pictured.

Next the 6-pin interconnect for the previous step needs to be soldered to the switch. Reference the top-side illustration and the chart below to figure out what wires will need to go where on the mode switch or the speed pot.

6 Pin Header Pinout for Mode Switch
1. Control Pot. Center Tap
2. DMX Select
3. Auto Select
4. Manual/Audio Select
5. Negative, 0 volts
6. Positive, +5 volts

- DMX Select, Auto Select and Manual select are soldered to a position on the switch.

- Negative gets soldered to the pins on the switch that were jumped, and another strand of wire is used to go from negative to a side lug on the control pot.

- Control Pot is soldered to the center lug on the 2.5k ohm panel mount potentiometer.

- Positive is soldered to the remaining lug on the control pot.
