Warning:
Do not puncture batteries or throw them in fire as they
may explode. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable
batteries (alkaline). Dispose of batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Keep batteries away from children.
Remove the battery if the device will not be used for a long time. Old
batteries can begin to leak and damage the device.

DMX Setup
Connect a compatible DMX512 device to the DMX output
[4]
using an XLR
cable. You can connect more devices in a daisy chain.
The controller uses 9 pages of 6 channels each, to control up to
54 channels. Typically, you connect up to 9 devices of (max.) 6 channels.
In this case, each page in the controller can control one device.
Make sure that you set the correct start address on each device (refer to the
table below).
Important!
In the examples in this user manual, it is assumed that you use
the controller with 6-channel devices, and that each page corresponds with
one DMX device.

Example
As an example, you have 9 identical DMX devices (6 channels each)
connected to the controller (one page = one device). The 6 channels are for
pan, tilt, dimmer, colour, gobo, and strobe control. Refer to the table below
for an overview of the channels and which pages/faders you use to control
them.
