Setting Up
RoboColor III
A D D R E S S I N G T H E S Y S T E M
When using the RoboColor III with a lighting controller, you must set the DIP-
switch to the start channel, also known as the address, which is the first channel
the controller uses to send instructions to the RoboColor III system.
For independent control, each RoboColor III system must have its own address
and non-overlapping control channels. If two or more RoboColor III systems have
the same address they will receive the same instructions and behave identically.
Martin mode: The RoboColor III uses 1 channel to communicate with the
controller. The address may be any channel between 1 and 32.
DMX mode: The RoboColor III uses 5 consecutive DMX channels in tracking
mode (DMX mode 1) and 6 consecutive DMX channels in vector mode (DMX
mode 2). The factory default is DMX mode 1.
Example: 4 RoboColor III systems using DMX mode 1 may be addressed as
follows:
