, the system will route DMX (as CK Data protocol) to each output based on the
selected DMX starting address. Each fixture is set as CK Light 1 (DMX 001, 002, 003). The
PDS-375’s internal DMX Manager selectively routes DMX Data to each light output so that
each light receives only the data packets that it is supposed to respond to. The effective DMX
address of each fixture is a function of the starting address of the PDS-375, combined with the
number of the output that fixture is connected to.
With the DMX Address set to 001: Fixture 1 = DMX 1, 2 & 3, Fixture 2 = DMX 4, 5, & 6, etc.
To put the unit into CB Mode, simply set the DMX Address switches to a desired address
other than 000. The unit can be set to any valid DMX address, however please note that any
starting address over 476 will disable some outputs.
