2.5 Front Panel Operation
2.5.1 Output Circuit Over-current Protecting
A fuse is in every output circuit of
CODE Tc-182
. The fuses are 10Amp.
2.5.2 Setup DMX-512 Address Code and output Control memory Mode
The DIP encoder on the front panel of
CODE Tc-182
takes on double-duty functions:
Confirming the local inception address number by binary encoding;
Confirming output control memory mode.
2.5.2.1 Confirming DMX-512 Local Inception Address Number
“Local Inception Address number” is confirmed by 1~9bit switches of DIP encoder. No. 1 bit is LSB, No. 9 bit is
MSB. In all the address number is 512. The “Inception Address number” is the channel number code of DMX
signal which is accepted by the first channel of this set, the second channel accepts DMX signal code of
“Inception Address number” + 1, the third channel accepts DMX signal code of “Inception Address number” + 2,
etc. (If Local Inception Address number is “0”, then the first channel of this set accepts No.1 channel code of
DMX signal.) The relation between bit value of DIP encoder and DMX channel code keeps to the formula below:
The sum value of 1~9bit switches of DIP encoder
]
+ 1 = DMX inception address number
DIP switch’s position function: “ON”, obtains its bit value; “OFF”, its bit value is “0”.
Bit value of DIP switches
Example 1: DMX inception address number is “19”
Setup No.2bit and No.5bit “ON”, the others “OFF”.
The sum value of 1~9bit of DIP encoder is 2+16.
Then, DMX inception address number is 19.
namely: [ 2 + 16 ] + 1 = 19
Example 2: DMX inception address number is 217
Setup No.4bit, No.5bit, No.7bit, and No.8bit “ON”,
the others “OFF”. The sum value of 1~9bit of DIP
encoder is 8+16+64+128. Then, DMX inception
address number is 217.
namely: [ 8+16+64+128 ] + 1 = 217
