The DPM8 PCB is a DMX to 8 channel PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) controller driver with a wide range of
tunable fre uencies that can be user set. This PCB will allow up to 4 different fre uencies to be tuned (2
independent outputs per fre uency). The low speed fre uency range is from 123hz - 31.25Khz and the high
speed fre uency range is from 980hz - 250Khz. There are 8 independent outputs that will vary the duty cycle in
respect to the assigned DMX channel level. Optionally there are 4 pairs (A, B, C, D) of fre uency settings that
can be user set. PWM outputs 1 & 2 (pair A), can be set to any fre uency within the set low/high range, PWM
outputs 3 & 4 (pair B) and another fre uency, etc. Note: The low/high frequency range setting is set for all 4
pairs and the unit will only operate in either low or high ranges. Once powered with a frequency range set all
progra ed frequencies will be in either the low or high ranges.
Each PWM output is a ground drive output that allows multiple control voltages to be used. Each PWM output
can drive up to 150mA at 12VDC (30VDC Max). Designed to control SSR (Solid State Relays) that could then
directly power high power LED engines or fixtures, or any PWM circuits that uses a PWM control input (pending
ground drive capability).

12VDC POWER INPUT Insert the power supply connector and screw the locking barrel to secure
ROUND CONNECTION If an external power supply is used to provide power to connected relay’s or
e uipment, this connection can be used to connect to the power supply grounds.
DMX INPUT XLR (3 or 5 pin) connector standard DMX protocol. The input is self terminated.
FOR ROUND DRIVE PWM OUTS Connect the PWM Outs as shown for ground drive units. The +12V output
is internally fused with a 2A fuse and can be used to provide +V for SSR (Solid State Relay’s), or mechanical
relay’s, or LED’s directly insuring that the maximum current is not exceeded.
FOR POSITIVE CONTROL VOLTA E PWM OUTS Connect the PWM Outs as shown for positive control
voltage units. The PWM outs will output a positive voltage low current signal to control other e uipment.
Reference the e uipment to the ground connection of the DPM8. Insure that the maximum current is not
exceeded per output.

DIP SWITCHES – It is recommended to have a DMX Start
Channel value of 503 or less to have channels assigned to 8
PWM outputs and 2 for fre uency programming and setup. See
the Fre uency Setup Procedures for ore infor ation.
NOTE – A RESET/REPOWER IS REQUIRED FOR DMX START
CHANNEL and LOW / HIGH SPEED FREQUENCY SETTINGS
DIP SWITCHES 1-9 - DMX START CHANNEL: [POWER RESET
REQUIRED] sets the DMX512 start channel
(see the DMX512
Channel Assign ent Docu ent). PWM output 1 will be the DMX
assigned start channel and the 2
nd
PWM output is controlled by the
assigned DMX start channel +1 (consecutively) and so on.
Dip Switch’s 1-6 are also used to program the fre uency settings. See the
Frequency Setup Procedure
LED INDICATOR – The Power LED will illuminate indicating power is applied. The Status LED will indicate the
status and modes of the DPM8.
STATUS LED: ON: indicates DMX data is being received.
OFF: indicates no DMX data is being received and the unit is in Stand Alone Mode
SLOW BLINK:
DMX receive error – [overrun error] (reset clears)
Pre Program/Setup Mode, waiting on user to apply settings
MEDIUM BLINK: Programming/setup mode
RAPID BLINK: Programming/setup mode can’t be entered, check settings
PULSE: Programming/setup complete – Reset DIP Switches if needed and RESET POWER
DIP SWITCH 10 - FREQUENCY RANGE: [POWER RESET REQUIRED] sets the low or high fre uency ranges
for all outputs. OFF (down position) = low fre uency range. ON = high fre uency range.
DIP SWITCH 11 – STAND ALONE (No DMX): OFF (down position) = With no DMX signal the all PWM outputs
will turn off. ON (up position) = With no DMX signal the PWM outputs will be the user preset (8 independent)
values. See the Stand Alone progra ing setup instructions
DIP SWITCH 12 – ENTER PROGRAM SETUP MODES: OFF = normal operation. If the DPM8 is powered and
DIP 12 is turned on the stand alone values can be programmed (see the stand alone progra ing setup
instructions). When powering up the DPM8 and DIP 12 is ON then the fre uency settings can be programmed,
modified and stored. See the Frequency Setup Procedure instructions
STANDALONE MODE - The Stand Alone Mode is activated when there is no valid DMX present indicated by
the status indicator off. The PWM duty cycle values are all off if the Stand Alone Dip Switch is in the OFF
position. The user set PWM duty cycle values are applied when the Stand Alone Dip Switch is in the ON
position. Take care to setup the values and place the dip switch in the desired position. Test the unit to insure
the desired results.

Programming & Setup
STAND ALONE PRO RAMMIN SETUP PROCEDURE
To ABORT any changes fro storing turn off the power and reset the dips switches as desired
If the Status LED has a rapid blink this indicates either No DMX present, the Start Channel is above 505, or
dip 11 or 12 are not in the respective position or order of switching
To store the 8 desired stand alone PWM values:
Connect a valid DMX signal – Status LED on solid
Set the respective DMX levels to the desired stand alone values
Turn on Dip 11
Turn on Dip 12 – Status LED medium blink
Toggle Dip 11 - OFF and then ON – Status LED pulses (waiting)
Turn of Dip 12 – The new values are stored in permanent memory – Status LED blinks twice to confirm
FREQUENCY SETTIN S
The DPM8 has 4 groups (A, B, C, D) that can each have a set fre uency within the Low or High fre uency
range selected by the FREQUENCY RANGE dip switch. 1A and 2A will have the same fre uency, 3B and 4B
the same etc. The 4 groups can only be set within the selected Low or High range upon powering up. It isn’t
possible to have a Low and High range frequency at the sa e ti e. The Low fre uency range is from 123 to
31.250Khz. The High fre uency range is from 980 to 250Khz. The fre uency setting can be changed per the
usage re uirements for example if the DPM8 is used to control LED fixtures for film or television and the frame
rate shows a pulsing or strobing effect on the LEDs, then the DPM8 PWM fre uencies can be adjusted to
possibly eliminate that effect. Standard television frame rates are 30FPS or 60FPS and a 30x multiple of the
frame rates, 30x30 is 900hz and 30x60 is 1800hz. Both fre uencies can be programmed. If the DPM8 is used to
control LED’s or other circuits that re uire a PWM source and the fre uency isn’t important then a 150 to 400hz
fre uency is suggested offering a s uarer PWM waveform. Note: The DPM8 PWM produce a s all ripple
voltage at all start and end of duty cycles. Most circuits including SSR (solid state relays) will not be affected by
the ripple. NOTE: DO NOT CONTROL MECHANICAL RELAYS WITH PWM.
FREQUENCY PRO RAMMIN
For both the Low and High ranges there are 4 (A, B, C, D) fre uency values that can be stored and recalled
depending on the power up selected Low or High fre uency range. There are 3 presets that can be selected, or
using the DMX assigned start channel +9 and +10 allows setting variable fre uencies with coarse and fine
adjustments. For precisely setting a specific frequency an oscilloscope is required.
To calculate the approximate desired fre uency (df) for Low range 100-((31,372 / df) / 2.55) = coarse %
To calculate the approximate desired fre uency (df) for Low range 100-((250,000 / df) / 2.55) = coarse %

FREQUENCY PRO RAMMIN SETUP PROCEDURE:
While progra ing if the Status LED has a rapid blink this indicates either no DMX present, the Start
Channel is above 503
To ABORT any changes fro storing turn off the power and reset the dips switches as desired
To store any of the 4 PWM group fre uency values:
Unplug any PWM outputs that are sensitive to level and fre uency adjustments
Connect a valid DMX signal – Status LED on solid
Turn off power, turn on dip 12, set DMX Start Channel to 503 or less
Turn on power – [Waiting on user to preset dips switches 1-6] (all can be set to OFF) - LED BLINKS FAST
Toggle Dip 12 off then on to enter programming setup mode, PWM outputs will be responsive to settings -
Status LED medium blink
Set dip switches according to table FPP-1 until any or all of the fre uencies are as desired
Turn on DIPs 1-4 respectively for the PWM(s) to adjust
Turn on DIPs 1, 2, 3, and/or 4 respectively for the PWM(s) groups (A, B, C, and/or D) to adjust
For variable fre uency adjust dips 5 & 6 should be OFF, use the 9
th
channel to coarse adjust and the
10
th
channel to fine adjust the desired fre uency.
For preset fre uency(s) dips 5 and 6 should be set per table FPP-1
Continue to repeat PWM group(s) selections and adjustments until any or all fre uencies are set
Once the PWMs are set as desired turn off DIP 12 to store settings - 2 confirm blinks
Repower and test the new fre uencies are as desired
Dip 1 ON = PWM A 1/2
Dip 2 ON = PWM B 3/4
Dip 3 ON = PWM C 5/6
Dip 4 ON = PWM D 7/8
