THE
DMX
ADDRESS
Because the Sirius occupies 3 DMX channels, when setting addresses on multiple illuminators
the addresses must be selected to give 3 channel separation. For example, if the first address is
009, the next address must be at least 012, the next address must be at least 015 and so on. Any
illuminators with the same address will operate identically under DMX control.
The DMX address is set manually using the DIP switch on the side panel of the Sirius. Each DIP
switch number (1 to 9) represents a binary number which when added together make up the
DMX address as shown in the table below.
