The rst menu item is the DMX channel selector, designated by the letter A on the left of the LCD display. Pressing the SETUP button
once will cause the LCD display to ash. When ashing, use the up and down arrow buttons to select the starting channel for your
DMX board.
In the case of a single color light, you will only be assigning one channel. For example, A002 will assign the dimming function to
channel 2 on your DMX controller. In the case of a bi-color light, you will be assigning 2 channels. The second channel will be assigned
automatically as the channel directly following the selected channel. For example, A002 will assign the dimming function to channel 2
on your DMX controller and the color function to channel 3.
