Reply to "Elation DP-415 DMX Dimmer Problems‏"

You should be able to turn the LED strip on and off (supply power to your 120v adapter or deny power to it) with a DP-415 when you get the DMX communication right. The intensity of your LED strip is designed to be controlled by the Control Driver that comes with the system. It is HIGHLY unlikely the intensity can be controlled by varying the current to the Control Driver. I don't believe you will be able to dim the LEDs with the DP-415 under any circumstances.

You will have to control their intensity with the remote control that comes with the Control Driver.

Because you plugged your desk lamp into the DP-415 and could not get your controller to control the light intensity of the lamp, either the DP-415 is defective or (more likely) your communication set up between your controller and the DP-415 is not correct.

You can see if the DP-415 is receiving any DMX signals by watching the "DMX Indicator" while you attempt to send signals from your controller. If the DP-415 is getting DMX signals, then its a matter of getting the two units to send and receive on the right channels.
