There are 3 buttons below the 3 digit LED display on the side of the unit. The buttons are : (From left to
right) [ HUNDREDS ] ,
[ TENS ] ,
[ ONES ].
All settings for Modes, DMX address, Personalities, etc., can be made by using the three buttons on the
back of the unit while power is on. . (Note: Display goes out after no activity for approx 4 sec. Touch
any button once to bring it back on.)
There are 3 main operating Modes:

Locked.

Normal Mode is used for Setting DMX address, Personalities, and Stand-alone Effects.
This is the default mode for a new unit
DMX address
To set, press the buttons repeatedly (or hold) to count up until the desired DMX
address (1-512), appears on the display. Wait a few seconds, the display will blink once quickly, and the
address is set live and retained in memory, even if you remove power.
(RDM
addressing sent from a remote unit will overwrite local DMX setting.)
PERSONALITIES:
There are 8 different personalities.
Each personality is made up of 3 settings: RESOLUTION (8 Bit /16 Bit), MASTER (On /Off), and
SMOOTHING (On/Off) which are explained in greater detail below.
The current active Personality # is displayed for about 1 second during power up. The format is Pxx
where xx is replaced by the active personality #01-08
.
To set the desired Personality, you must be in Normal mode (not Fixed Color mode).
To select the personality:
> Press the buttons until the desired personality address 601-608) appears in the display (see list below).
> Wait a few seconds, and a confirmation display will appear that shows a question mark? on the left,
followed by the personality #. This gives you an opportunity to either accept or reject the new setting.
To accept the personality, press the [ONES] button.
To reject the personality, press the [HUNDREDS] button (below the?

.
Once the new personality is accepted, it is entered into memory and retained even if power is
disconnected. Once personality is either accepted or rejected, the display will go back to the current DMX
address. The default personality for a new unit is #02.
