Before attempting an Express, you need to find out what control signal is in use. The Status (at least mine) can talk both
DMX and Colortran's older version called CMX.
On the console, press the setup key a few times until you come to Protocol. If it says DMX, the Express should work (usually). If CMX, then you might want to contact a C-Tran service center for info on whether the dims can be adapted. It's sometimes a cheap modification to the control module.
Litetrol Service, in Hicksville, NY is about the best around at this kind of stuff, especially with advice for the Express/ENR communication.
