How to Control & Use This Controller

Installation: Ensure mains power is switched off. Mount the T16-3 into a standard electrical wall box and connect the Line (L) and Neutral (N) wires from your 85-265VAC power source.
DMX Wiring: For wired control, connect the DMX output terminals (D+, D-, GND) to the input of your first DMX decoder. Daisy-chain subsequent decoders as needed, using appropriate DMX512 Lights Accessories.
RF Pairing: To use as a wireless remote, short-press the "Match" key on a compatible SkyDance RF receiver, then immediately touch any key on the T16-3 panel to complete the pairing.
Operation: Touch a zone number (1, 2, or 3) to select it. Use the dimming slider to adjust the brightness for the selected zone. A long press on a zone number turns it on/off.

⚠ Precautions

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician.
This is a single-color dimmer; it is not designed to control CCT, RGB, or RGBW lights.
Ensure any connected DMX decoders or RF receivers are compatible with single-color, constant voltage PWM dimming control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the T16-3 and other Skydance panels?

A:The T16-3 is a 3-zone DMX & RF dimmer for single-color lights. Other models may offer different zone counts, control protocols (like 0-10V or DALI), or color control (like RGB/CCT).

Q: Can this panel control lights in three separate rooms?

A:Yes. By wiring each room's lights to its own DMX decoder or RF receiver and assigning each to a different zone (1, 2, or 3), you can achieve independent control.

Q: Does this controller work with Philips Hue or other smart home systems?

A:No, this is a professional-grade DMX512 and proprietary 2.4G RF controller. It does not natively connect to Wi-Fi or Zigbee-based consumer smart home systems.

Q: Is this a DMX decoder?

A:No, this is a DMX master controller. It generates the DMX signal. You will need separate DMX decoders to receive this signal and drive your low-voltage LED strips.

Q: What is the wireless range in RF mode?

A:The RF remote has a typical range of up to 30 meters (approx. 98 feet) in an open environment. This range can be reduced by walls and other electronic interference.

Q: Can I use this to control outdoor lights?

A:The T16-3 panel itself is for indoor installation. However, it can control outdoor lighting by sending a DMX or RF signal to an appropriately-rated waterproof decoder or receiver located outdoors.
