Anderson 45A Power Pole DC Power Dimmer Output Connectors (/Blue -):  These 

are the +VDC dimmed outputs for the QolorFLEX 3x10A Dimmer, and are labelled A, B and 

C. They mate directly with 30A and 45A Anderson Power Pole connectors.  Note that for each

dimmer channel  the Blue – output is the pulse width modulated (PWM) output, while the

 output is the constant power output.  The QolorFLEX 3x10A Dimmer is capable of

outputting up to 30 amps of DC power, so be sure that the connected output power wiring is

up to the task!

Reset Switch:  This little recessed switch resets the Microcontroller in the QolorFLEX 3x10A 

Dimmer.  Use a paper clip or other small object to press if required. 

5P XLR Male Connector:  DMX/RDM Input.  Connect your DMX512 source here using any 

ESTA compliant DMX512 cable. 

5P XLR Female Connector:  DMX/RDM Pass-Thru/Output.  When the Transmitter is 

connected to a conventional DMX controller, this connector serves as a DMX pass-thru. 

DMX  Termination  Switch:    The  QolorFLEX  3x10A  Dimmer  DMX  Input  is  provided  with  a 

conventional  manual  termination  switch.    Switch  the  handle  to  ON  for  end-of  line  DMX 

Termination. 

The  Start  Up  display  reports  DMX  connection  status  (“DMX:  OK”  or  “DMX:  No  Data”).
