DMX Mode
This mode allows you to control the device by any universal DMX controller.
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to
the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an
individual address can be set for every device.
When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one
particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
In case of the 4-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1–4),
the second to 5 (1 + 4) (CH5–8), the third to 9 (5 + 4) (CH9–12), and so on. The highest start
address is 509.
In case of the 9-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1–9),
the second to 10 (1 + 9) (CH10–18), the third to 19 (10 + 9) (CH19–27), and so on. The highest
start address is 504.
To set the device to work with a DMX controller:
1.
Press MENU until <4-CH> (for the 4-channel mode) or <9-CH> (for the 9-channel mode) is
displayed and press ENTER.
2.
Use UP and DOWN to set the DMX starting address (d--1 to d512) and press ENTER.
