Description

LED Off

LED Brightest

Unless the address is specified on the Purchase Order, all Light Sources will be defaulted to
Address 001. Connect the DMX controller to either of the Mini XLR sockets, and the Light
Source can now be dimmed. Additional Slave (same address) DMX Light Sources can be
linked together.

To revert to Non DMX control operation, remove the DMX controller connection or switch the
DMX controller OFF and the Light Source will default to full light output. There is no manual
dimming control on the MER3000DMX
