AQUA DRIVER 150 MODE CONTROL
The manner in which the four output ports are grouped and operate is determined by the
settings of the two switch blocks located on the front panel
(Note: all switch settings can be
changed when the driver is off or on)
. There are three main ways to use the Aqua Driver 150:
•
External DMX control mode
•
Standalone mode using internal chase programs
•
Standalone mode using adjustable static dimming
EXTERNAL DMX CONTROL MODE
To allow DMX control you need to:
1 Set switch 10 of the
large switch block
ON to choose DMX
mode.
2 Select the required
DMX base address
using switches 1 to
9 of the large switch
block. Each of the nine switches is ‘weighted’ with a value as shown here. Numerous apps
are available to assist you with configuring the correct switch combinations for a given
DMX address.
Note: The total number of DMX channels required for control will depend upon
the chosen port grouping and fixture types (see “DMX channel layouts” on page 9).

Note: The chosen fixture type (RGBW/A or White) is
applied globally to all ports. However, the electrical
characteristics of the ports do not change (only their
logical addressing configuration), so it is possible to
mix white fixtures into an RGBW set up. As such, the
various white emitters of the fixture would respond
individually to the separate RGBW channel addresses.
