“d5” Mode (DMX 5-Channel Split Master/Strobe Mode)
Press the MODE button (7) until the display shows “d5”, indicating operation in “d”
(DMX) mode. Shortly after that, the display shows the DMX starting address. You can
choose any DMX starting address by simply using the UP/DOWN buttons (5/6). The
chosen DMX-address comes effective approximately 3 seconds later and will show up
on the display (2) in alternation to the “d”. This allows control of the unit by any external
DMX signal sending on the chosen channel. In this mode the potentiometer (1) is
disabled.
The unit receives DMX values on a packet of five channels and mirrors the received
data on the DMX output (9). If a DMX signal is present the DMX LED (3) will turn on.
