These tables compare the circuit numbering of an SR3-6 filled with D20 modules when set to Straight
numbering, 3-Phase numbering, or 1-Phase numbering:
Dimmer Double (120V SR and SP Type Racks Only)
Choose between Yes and No to activate or deactivate dimmer doubling for the rack. Default is No. See
Dimmer Doubling (UL/ 120V 60Hz Systems Only)
You can also set a DMX Offset (default = 256) or sACN Offset (default =10000), which determines the
start address of the B side of the dimmer doubled dimmers.
Patch
Select an automatic patching method to patch the entire rack sequentially.
There are three automatic patching methods:
• Simple: This patching method specifies the same starting address for all three data ports (DMX
A, DMX B, and sACN) at once. Enter the starting address for the patch. If the patch count exceeds
512, the patch will “wrap” and start numbering again at 1.
• Independent: This method allows you to specify different starting addresses for each data port in
the patch (DMX A, DMX B, and sACN). Select a data port and assign the desired starting address
for the rack. If the rack count then exceeds 512 (for DMX ports) the remainder of circuits in the
rack will be patched to zero for that DMX port.
• Universe Split: This patching method should be used when a DMX universe will end midway
through the rack’s patch. Enter the starting address for the patch. If the patch sequence exceeds
512 (256 if dimmer doubling is enabled) DMX A will patch the rest of the circuits to 0 and DMX B
will restart the patch addresses at 1 for those remaining circuits.

Automatic patching is only available for racks with one space. For racks with more
than one assigned space, see
