Appendix – A DMX Dip Switch Value Guide
This is a brief guide to DMX dip switch value settings. DMX products
must have their own “address” to receive DMX signals. Addresses on
fan
are set by flipping appropriate DMX dip switches.
To do this, you need to know the DMX dip switches have the
following values: #1=1; #2=2; #3=4; #4=8; #5=16; #6=32; #7=64;
#8=128; #9=256. And you need to know that DMX address settings
are the sum of the dip switch values.
For example, standard DMX addresses for four
HURRICANE
, each of
which
has 1 channel (see Figure 2), follow:
Address Value
DMX Dip Switches “ON”
Unit 1
1
#1
Unit 2
2
#2
Unit 3
3
#1, #2
Unit 4
4
#3
Explanation:
Since each unit has one channel, each address advances
one value (see address value above).
Once address values are figured out, add DMX dip switch values to
obtain the appropriate address (Any of Dip 1-9 “ON”) for each unit.
Flip appropriate DMX dip switches on each unit.
