Control Format for all DMX Snow Machines
Addressing
DMX starting address is manually programmed via thumb dial switches. Valid starting addresses are 001-512. The
Snow Machines utilize four channels.
The first channel has four settings:
0-63
Snow Machine is "off"
64-127 Allows for a 0 to 5 minute cycle time based on the settings of the 2nd channel
(This setting turns on the short internal timer circuit)
128-191 Allows for a 0 to 15 minute cycle time based on the settings of the 2nd channel
(This setting turn on the long internal timer circuit)
192-255 Snow Machine is set to "on"
The second channel:
**
When Channel 1 is set from 64-127 then the second channel sets the overall duration of cycle time
anywhere from zero (0) to five minutes (255).
When Channel 1 is set from 128-191 then the second channel sets the overall duration of cycle time
anywhere from zero minutes (0) to 15 minutes (255).
The third channel:
**
Sets the % of "on time" during the duration set by the second channel. This value is a range from 0(0) to
100%(255)
The fourth channel:
Sets the amount of snow output from minimum output (1) to 100%(255). This channel is effective anytime
the machine is “on”
**
During all timer-controlled modes, internal limits enforce a minimum on time of at least 10seconds and a
minimum off time of at least four seconds.
