If you need to allocate an individual dimmer channel to a different DMX
address you do the following:
4.5.2
Patching individual dimmer channels
Press DMX-A or DMX-B (the Dmx input must be set to softpatch mode)
The middle line of the display shows the active dimmer. Press UP /
DOWN to select the dimmer channel you want to change, then press
ENTER
Press UP / DOWN to set the DMX address for this dimmer channel,
then press ENTER
Repeat for other dimmers, or press EXIT to finish
The display shows
Line A Patch Dmx ok Dmx B 001 No Dmx
Status Running ok Mode Test off
------------------------------------------
Dmx A softpatch
Dimmer Channel 48 Dmx address 048
Dimmer Channel 01 Dmx address 001
Dimmer Channel 02 Dmx address 002
4.5.3
“Parking” DMX channels
You can set the DMX address of a channel to 000, this “parks” the dimmer
channel so it is not controlled by that DMX line. This is useful if you want a
dimmer to be controllable from only one of the two DMX lines, or if you
want to disable a dimmer.
4.5.4
Behaviour of “X10 and UP /DOWN “
When scrolling through dimmer channels the X10 and UP or DOWN
combination will jump to the first dimmer channel of the following or
preceding bay. Thus in a frame with four 12 channel modules pressing X10
and UP when selecting dimmer channels will result in the channel jumping
from 01 to 13, 25 and 37.
When changing DMX addresses the X10 and UP or DOWN combination will
jump in decades. Thus start addresses 015 changes into 25, 35 etcetera.
