All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when operating with a DMX controller, in order to
ensure that the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is
the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from
the DMX controller. This starting DMX address is assigned by setting the correct DMX address on
the digital control display on the fixture.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses
for each individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react
in the same way. In this case, please note that changing the settings of one channel will affect all the
fixtures simultaneously.
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel num-
ber you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the
settings of one channel will only affect the selected fixture.
For example, these fixtures feature 8 DMX channels, so you should set the starting DMX address
of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 9 (1 + 8), the third unit to 17 (1 + 8 + 8), and so on. (See the
chart below for more details.)

INTERNAL PATCH (IP MODE) FUNCTION
This device also features an Internal Patch function, which displays on the screen as “IP Mode.”
With this function, the user simply needs to select the desired IP Mode on each lighting fixture, and
the fixture will automatically determine its own DMX address.
For example, if 4 units have been linked together, ordinarily the user would need to calculate the
starting address of the first unit as 1, the second unit as 9, the third unit at 17, and the fourth unit at
25, as shown in the table above. However, with IP Mode, the user would simply set the first device to
“IP01,” the second device to “IP02,” the third device to “IP03,” and the fourth device to “IP04.” Each
unit would them automatically set itself to the correct DMX address, removing the need to manually
calculate each starting address.
To use this function, the user simply needs to navigate to the “IP.xx” option in the main menu, then
select the IP mode value, in ascending order of lowest to highest DMX address. Selectable values
range from 01 to 64. See the System Menu section of this manual for details on navigating to this
sub-menu.
