i cant get it to work with my Chauvet obey 3. I am also confused by the manual. Can someone please tell me the dipswitch combinations i need?

It uses a binary code to determine the channel. You can use a binary calculator to translate for you. For example 100 would be 01100100. The 1 is to be switched on and 0 off.

Are you familiar with DMX and how the Console Communicates with the LED Controller? Are you familiar with LEDs and PowerSupply requirements?

If you have the dip switches in the lower left corner of the unit, the first dip switches set the DMX address of the first channel. So to t and all others up.est with Channel 1, push the first switch down. The last switch determines if the unit uses DMX or the internal programs. That switch should be up, as well as all the others except #1 to test if it works on channel 1. The dip switches set the channel in binary numbers. If you want the first channel to be #4, then switch 3 should be down

I use 2 of these with an obey 40 and it works perfectly. Make sure your assigning proper channel assignment. Turn on dip switch 1 for dmx then use the DMX Dips switches (labeled on the unit itself) to assign the address, ie. for fixture 2 on your obey, set the 008 switch "On" for fixture 3 set 016 "On".

Sorry, I was not able to get my units to communicate with the liftmaster unit. The lights flickered but no luck with programming the unit. I have not pursued the matter with the company yet. good luck.

The DFi product should operate with the Chauvet units on the same DMX setup, even the same universe. However, you probably can't use the Chauvet DMX TX to "talk to" the DFi RX or vice-versa. I've used these with other wireless systems on the same rig. You can choose from one of several frequency presets, so if you have problems, try changing that.

There are tiny dipswitches inside the remote that you can use to change which device each side of the remote controls..... unfortunately there are no instructions for how to do so. A major problem they should fix!

If you are using the radio that comes with it, it should have all three out of the box. If you are using another radio (DX8 for example) you will only get two modes. Which two depends on how the dip switches on the receiver are set. The settings are in the Apprentice manual. If you don't have a manual you get a PDF online.

You cannot use a standard dimmer switch for LED lighting and will need a basic lighting controller such as a Chauvet Obey 3 if you want to be able to dim them.

Hi Nancy,It actually works with the dip switches you currently have in your receiver. I have 2 doors and it operates both. All you have to do is mount it and you're done! Example: your dip switches are slate to ON using 1468. Your code to open the door would be 8641 START. It's that easy! Truly happy with this purchase. Hope this helps.

I am not sure, I would think of using 2 switches just for compatibility,the harness may depend on the lights used. Hope this helps, good luck.

Yes but you will have to look at the chart in the owners manual that came with your Chauvet 4 bar Tri's. It will tell you what control to use. God luck

hi! i dont' want to presume that you are new but if you are, welcome to the hobby! its addictive.I suspect I know what the problem is. The receiver (where you put your binding pin) has a series of switches where you can select 1, 2 or three. If those are misadjusted that could cause the problem you are describing. Please tell me what transmitter you are using and send me a picture of the receiver switches martinjberger@gmail.com

If this is X10 switch, it may still work. The reason for this, I have an old outlet x10, but when my new mini controller X10 came, it enable to control the outlet, provided you set the zone and house code correctly. I hope helps!

This was a failed project for me, one of my 2 controllers died, There were times one of 2 lights worked. I might have my controller on one side of my 220 line and the sockets on the other side. What I can tell you is that manually turning the lights on with the switch in the garage, they don't come on. I think "Francois" has answered the question for us. If I saw his thoughtful answer before I started to respond, I might not have replied. Thank you Francois.

I couldn't get it to work properly. I decided to go with this from ebay. Woks perfectly. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Automatic-Infrared-PIR-Motion-Sensor-Switch-DC-12V-24V-8A-Detector-Practical-/261479825604?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item3ce16980c4

Mine worked just fine. Do not understand 'reset receiver'. This is a transmitter and it has to be reset, not the receiver. Open a working transmitter and set the dip switch keys on this just like the working transmitter. Or open the Genie on the ceiling and find its switches and set exactly the same. Will only work with 12 dip recievers. Will not work with old 9 dip receivers.

Ya i tried 3 servos :/ but i think you are correct its the receiver. To late to return so mine as well upgrade. Thx for the reply.

I'm almost sure that the 3 way masters work without the second switch hooked up to it. I think it's the secondary switches that don't work without the master but I am honestly not 100% sure on either point.
