Description
Module status
LEDs
Various color and lighting combinations of these LEDs
indicate the module state. See

DIP switches
The module has three banks of DIP switches, one for
each channel. Each bank has five individual switches
that you can adjust to affect the composite output from
the module. See
“DIP Switch Functions” on page 18

Channel LEDs
Each DIP switch has a corresponding LED. When the
module is in local control mode, the LEDs indicate the
DIP switch settings. When the module is in remote
control mode, the LEDs indicate the settings currently
applied to the module. See
