Starting Address 

When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels 

the  selected  DMX  mode  uses.  If  you  choose  a  starting  address  that  is  too  high,  you 

could restrict the access to some of the fixture’s channels. 
The  DMF-10  uses  up  to  6  DMX  channels  in  DMX  mode,  which  defines  the  highest 

configurable address to 507.  
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, you may refer to the 

DMX Primer

 section in 

the 

Technical Information

 chapter. 

To select the starting address, do the following: 
1)  Press 

<MENU>

 repeatedly until 

512

 shows on the display. 

2)  Press 

<ENTER>

3)  Use 

<UP>

 or 

<DOWN>

 to select the starting address. 

4)  Press
