Operation

DMX Modes (Three DMX modes)

1) Press <MODE> until "PERS" is displayed then press "Enter" to confirm.

2) Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select the DMX mode" 9 CH, 3 CH, 4 CH, HSu" then press "Enter" to confirm.

DMX Addressing:

1) Press <MODE> until "AddR" is displayed then press "Enter" TWICE to confirm.

2) Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select the DMX starting address (1- 512), press Enter to confirm.

When connecting several units with a DMX controller, the units will need to have the DMX address set.

If all units are to be controlled the same way

1. Ensure each unit has the number of DMX control channels set to the same mode.

2. Set the DMX address channels to the same value on each unit.

3. All units will now be controlled at the same time.

When requiring individual control of each unit

1. Assign each unit with its own DMX start value depending on the amount of channels you need to control the unit.

2. Each unit can either use the same amount of control channels or you may choose to have more control over
different units. For example one controlled by 3 channels and another controlled by 9 channels.

3. No address channels should cross over.
Example - if the first unit is set to 3 channel mode. Set DMX start address to d1. If the next unit has 9 control
channels, set the DMX start address to d4, then a third unit will have to start 9 channels on from this, so the next
starting address would be 13 and so on.
