You can use the table below to set your fixture’s DIP switches. Imagine that you want 
to find the DIP switch settings for DMX address 

328

1)  Find 

328

 among the addresses from the table and point at it with your finger. 

2)  Move your finger to the left and you will find the settings for DIP Switches

 is On (1). 

3)  Go back and point at the 

328

 address.  

4)  Move your finger upward and you will find the settings for DIP Switches

DIP Switches 

6

 and
