DMX Addressing 

DMX signal cable must be connected in order to respond to DMX mode. 
 
Turn dipswitch 10 to the 

OFF 

position.  Each dipswitch from 1 to 9 holds a 

numerical value located below the dipswitch.  Add the numerical value to 
get the desired fixture start address channel.  The user must assign a 
start address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the  
controller. 
 
For example, if you wish the first unit to start on address channel 85 you 
will need to turn on dipswitch 1,3,5 and 7 (1+4+16+64=85)

Turn dipswitch 10 to the 

ON 

position.  This function will turn on the func-

tions that will allow the unit to run a preprogram function.  Additionally, this 
unit may serve as a master unit where other units will copy it’s functions.  
To create a master unit connect the XLR cable from the output to the in-
put on the next unit.
