“d3” Mode (DMX 3-Channel RAW Mode) 

 

Press the MODE button (7) until the display shows “d3”, indicating operation in “d3” (3-
channel 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 three channels and mirrors the received 
data on the DMX output (9). If a DMX signal is present the DMX LED (3) will turn on. 
The three channels control the unit as follows:  
 

DMX channel

CH1  

000-255

CH2 000-255  Green

CH3 000-255  Blue

This setting is stored even if the device is switched off.  
Note: For master/slave operation, the slave units shall be set to “d3” mode.  

 

“d4” Mode (DMX 4-Channel Combined Master/Strobe Mode) 

 
Press the MODE button (7) until the display shows “d4”, indicating operation in “d4” (4-
Channel 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.
