Control
Options
The COLORdash™ Accent UV and VW can operate in DMX mode,
AUTO mode, STATIC mode, and SLAVE mode. You can select any of
these modes by using the DIP switches on the back of the unit (see the
Operation Modes Table
below). When configured for AUTO mode, these
products become the Master of a Master/Slave configuration. When
configured for SLAVE mode, they can work with a COLOR-CON
controller instead of a master unit.

The DIP switches on the back of the unit have two configuration zones, a
fixed assignment zone for Operation Mode Selection (DIP 10~12) and a
variable assignment zone (DIP 1~9) whose configuration changes
