Chapter Five--Control Setup

2.  Name the Zone. (Figure 5-7)
3.  Choose Grouped, Sequenced, DMX or sACN operation. 

Note:  DMX and sACN may not be used within the same 
NPAC  (Figure 5-7)

Figure 5-7

Name the 
Zone

Choose operation 
type from the 
dropdown

4.   If using DMX or sACN operation, select the address 

set (Figure 5-8) or universe (Figure 5-9) from the 

ZONE SETUP

Relays can be controlled individually or arranged into 
zones.  Relays in zones can be toggled at 25 ms intervals 
(Grouped Operation),  at variable intervals (Sequenced 
Operation), or via DMX or sACN.

To setup a Zone follow these steps:

1.   Choose which zone you would like to edit.  (Figure
