Set Minimum Level
The DMX Power Supply has the ability to set the minimum output level, which stops the DMX
signal from switching the outputs completely off.
Step 1:
To set the minimum output level of the DMX Power Supply, ensure the power is
switched to Off and you have a DMX source connected to the unit.
Step 2:
Set the address to 931. This will put the card into Minimum Level Capture mode.
Step 3:
Set your DMX source to output 0% on DMX channel 1.
Step 4:
Switch the power on. While the DMX Power Supply is in this mode, it will respond to
DMX channel 1 and output this level to the fixtures.
a: Slowly increase the DMX control level until you see the desired level, then turn the
power supply off for five seconds and then turn it on again. It will now capture the
level on DMX channel 1 and store this as the new minimum level.
Step 5:
Turn the power off and set the power supply to the required DMX address.
Step 6:
If a minimum level of 0% is required, set the DMX source to output 0% on channel 1
and repeat the procedure above.

Power Up the Power Supply
Apply power to the power supply from the main breaker. Depending on the power supply
type, the connected fixtures will respond accordingly:
• DMX power supply will turn loads on if the DMX control level is greater than 0.
• Switched power supply will turn loads on if the switch is closed.
