MODE SETUP

If the optional 3 digit display and
programming unit is not
installed, set the jumper as
shown to desired merging mode
type. For the Append mode
additional setup may be
required. 

APPEND PACKET SIZE
SETUP

The packet (or channel block)
size is set by one of two ways:

Ÿ

A valid DMX512 signal on the A input OR

Ÿ

By manually programming the packet size in 16 channel block increments

To setup the append packet size by *AUTO DETECT

1.

Select the APPEND SETUP by placing jumpers to the pins shown

2.

Connect a **DMX512 generating device into input A (e.g. lighting board) with a known DMX512 packet
size (output channel count) known or preset.

3.

Reset the power - The DMG enters the setup mode, indicated by LED A blinking

4.

If a valid DMX512 signal is connected to input A, the packet size is stored in

permanent memory. LED’s A and B will  alternately blink indicating completion.

5.

Remove the APPEND SETUP jumper leaving the APPEND jumper

6.

Reset the power

7.

Test for accuracy 

To setup the append block size MANUALLY by 16 increment blocks

1.

Remove DMX512 signal inputs

2.

Select the APPEND SETUP by placing
jumpers to the pins shown

3.

Reset the power - The DMG enters the setup mode,
indicated by LED A blinking

4.

Remove only the APPEND SETUP Jumper - LED A
will turn off and a block size of 16 is stored.

5.

For each multiple of 16 Channel Blocks needed, place
the jumper onto the Append Setup header pins, LED A
will illuminate for each connection/count. 

See the

Channel Block Size Table. 

(If 512 is exceeded the

setup mode is exited and enters standby mode
indicated by LED’s A and B alternately blinking and the
block size is set at 512)

6.

PARK THE APPEND SETUP JUMPER

7.

Reset the power

8.

Test for accuracy

*AUTO DETECT - by Input A’s attached lighting board or generating DMX512 device 
**In order to know where input B will begin in the DMX Channel assignment, the output packet size must be known or
preset.
