functions can be performed through this pack. You may also set your 

dimmer pack to functions as a 1, 2, or 4 channel DMX dimmer pack, 

which means you can combine the output functions. 

DMX Operation

:

1.   Plug in a DMX controller to your dimmer pack via the 3-pin XLR 

 

 cables.

2.   Connect your lighting effects to any of the eight power sockets on 

 

 the front of the pack.

 channels. This function allows you to;

 

    a. Controll the output to all four outlets with one DMX channel.

 

    b. Group outlet channels one and two and group outlets 

 

        channels three and four. The first group will be controlled by 

 

        one DMX channel and the second group will be controlled 

 

        by another DMX channel. This gives the pack a DMX value 

 

        of two.

 

    c. The default setting is a four channel DMX switcher, each 

 

        channel is controlled by one DMX channel.

4.   To change the channel function mode be sure you are in DMX 

 

 mode. Use the Menu button to select  "CH" followed by two digits. 

 

 Then use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to change the setting 

 

 from 01, 02, or 04. Your dimmer pack is initially set as a four 

 

 channel DMX switcher.

 the MENU button to select the address settings, this will be 

 

 indicated by an "A" in the first character of the LCD followed by 

 

 three numbers. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to select 

 

 your desired DMX address. Remember the DMX address tells your 

 

 DMX controller what channel to activate the pack's functions.

6.   Once you have set the pack's DMX address be sure your 

 

 controller's address matches that of the packs'.

7.   Your pack will now opearte as DMX dimmer, you may control the 

 

 light output intensity through your DMX controller. 0 will give no 

 

 output and 100 will give you full output.
