Hi kbonnici,

 

You need to use a chilli rs232 node.

 

The sequence runs as follow:

pc > rs 232 node > rj 12 cable > dimmer rj 12 connection.

 

Without the node the network traffic will collide giving the error messages.

 

Part code 01-211-00 chilli RS 232 link. List cost £255.

 

You can purchase this via your local Zero88 dealer.

 

Hope this helps?
