T-4000 controller instructions
1. T-4000 System characteristics
1,32—256 Gray level,Support software Gamma correction.
2,Support the rules and special-shaped handle.
3,Four-port output,every port can support 512-1024 pixels.
4,Off-line(SD Card) control, play back content stored in the SD card.
5,The controller Can save up to 16 files ,copy the file into SD card in order.
6,The file in SD card must be named: 00_1.led, 01_1.led, 02_1.led…….
7,Compatible with single and dual IC, if you control a single line IC LED lights, without being connected to the CLK line.
NOTE:1. When T-4000 controller control less than 512 lamps the frame rate can reach 30fps. When T-1000 controls more than 512 lamps and less than 1024 lamps the frame rate will slow down automatically.
2. In the 2012 production version of the T-4000to add a Chinese flag on the surface, you must use the new software

NOTE:For the TTL(SPI) signal, the controller signal ground must connect to the LED ground wire directly.
5. Mode of connection
T-4000 can only used independently.
6. File saving:
Rules for naming files:
“ 00.led” ---------the first effect file
“ 01.led” --------- the second effect file
“ 02.led” --------- the third effect file
“ 03.led” --------- the fourth effect file
OR:
If the impact of file is named: "a.led" b.led "" c.led "" d.led "copy to SD card can also benormal use.
NOTE: T-4000 can saves 16 files to SD card at most.
7. Specific parameters:
Memory card:
type:SD card(suggest using high-speed SD card)
Capacity:128MB—2GB
Format:FAT
Store file Format:*.led
Physical parameters:
Working temperature :-30℃—85℃
Working voltage:DC5V
Working power:3W

NOTE:
Before copy files to SD card ,The SD card must be formatted as FAT format.
The SD card in controller can not be hot-swappable, plug the SD card every time, you must first disconnect the power supply
8. Trouble shooting:
Question 1:After power, the T-4000 ERROR indicator has been flashing without display output
answer:The ERROR indicator has been flashing means the controller did not read the card correctly, possible problems:
①SD card is empty, with no effect file.
②The effect file in the SD card and the controller model are not match, please choose correct controller model in LedEdit and then re-create the effect file *led.
③SD card did not format to FAT before copy effect files.
④Please check the supply power voltage, the controller can be individually powered to exclude power reasons
⑤Changing the SD card and then test to exclude the possibility of a bad SD card
Question 2: The controller is powered on, the indicator is normal, but the lamps have no effect change
Answer: The reasons for this are as follows:
① Check if the lamp′s signal line and the controller connected correctly
② If the TTL signal is received, the lamp and the controller must be common ground, that means connect the lamp′s and the controller′s ground together
③ Check if the model chose during making display files on the SD card match the chips used in the lighting
Question 3:Controller and light connected, after. Lamps flicker. Controller indicator to normal.
Answer:① The ground wire is not connected between the controller and lighting.
② The file in SD card is bad, Chip model does not match with the actual.
③ Insufficient power supply.
Question 4:The SD card can not be formatted.
Answer:①First make sure the SD card on the side of the protection switch is already open.
②SD card reader is broken
③Do all of this can’t deal with the question. Change the SD card tests again.
