on the number of control channels available on
the controller .

is to be controlled by the controller via DMX
address 5, set the start address on the unit to 5 .
All other DMX channels of the unit will be auto-
matically assigned to the subsequent addresses .
Example:
In the 10-channel mode with start address 5,
the channels 1 to 10 are assigned to the addresses 5
to 14 . Address 15 is the next possible start address
available for the following DMX-controlled unit .
