5.1. DMX Control Mode (DMX Addressing)
In this mode, the dip switch 10 is flipped to the “ON” position. DMX address can be addressed and the
intensity of LED products is dimmable.
DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal binary language used as a form of
communication between intelligent fixtures. Each dip switch represents a binary value.

A DMX value (address) is set by combining the different dip switches that will add up to the value you
wish to achieve, for example:
Setting DMX address for 21. Flip switches 1, 3 & 5 to the “ON” position.
1=1, 3=4, 5=16
1+4+16=21
Setting DMX address for 201. Flip switches 1, 4, 7 & 8 to the “ON” position.
1=1, 4=8, 7=64, 8=128
1+8+64+128=201
5.2. Manual Control Mode
In this mode, the dip switch 10 is flipped to the “OFF” position. Flip the dip switch 1~8 to set the
intensity of LED products. Each dip switch represents a binary value.
