MICRO/MINI LED MANAGER
DIP-switch 10 must be set to OFF on all units. Each unit in the chain needs its proper start address so it
knows which commands from the DMX-controller it has to decode. When you need a lot of power you
can use several Micro / Mini LED Managers and give them the same start address. See the previous
chapter to learn how to set the DMX addresses.
DMX ADDRESSING
How to set the DMX addresses:
There are 3 ways to set the DMX-address of the units. If you use setting options
A
or
B
you
MUST set
ALL DIP-switches to OFF position.
A. Setting individual DMX-addresses per Micro / Mini LED Manager:
Make sure that ALL DIP-switches are set to OFF position!
Make sure the DMX cables of all units are connected.
Connect the first unit to a universal DMX controller.
Connect all units to the mains so they are switched on.
Set all DMX-channels on your DMX-controller to zero (value 000).
Set the DMX-channel, that you want to assign as DMX-start address on your Micro / Mini LED
Manager to maximum (value 255)
Press the “Auto DMX address” button (6) on the Micro / Mini LED Manager shortly.
If you want to set another unit to the same DMX-
start address, simply press it’s “Auto DMX
address” button (6) and it will receive the same address.
Done!
An example to make things clear:
We will set the DMX start address of a Micro / Mini LED Manager to 106:
Connect the Micro / Mini LED Manager to the DMX-controller as described above and make
sure all is switched on.
Set all DMX-channels on the controller to zero (000)
Now set DMX-channel 106 to maximum (255)
Press the “Auto DMX address” button (6) on the Micro / Mini LED Manager shortly.
Done!
Your Micro / Mini LED Manager now has DMX address 106!
B. Automatic DMX-addressing, starting from any given start address:
To save a lot of time (imagine the time it takes to set the DIP switches of 16 units…) you can set the
DMX addresses of all units in the DMX-chain just by the push of a button. No need to calculate the
starting address of each individual unit, this will be done for you!
Make sure that ALL DIP-switches are set to OFF position!
Make sure the DMX cables of all units are connected.
Connect the first unit to a universal DMX controller.
Connect all units to the mains so they are switched on.
Set all DMX-channels on your DMX-controller to zero (value 000).
Set the DMX-channel, that you want to assign as DMX-start address on your Micro / Mini LED
Manager, to maximum (value 255)
Press the “Auto DMX address” button (6) on the first Micro / Mini LED Manager in the chain for
about 5seconds.
Done!
The first Micro / Mini LED Manager in the chain will receive the DMX-start address you
chose and it will automatically calculate and program the DMX addresses of all the other units in
the DMX-chain!
An example to make things clear:
We want to set the DMX-addresses of 16 units, the DMX start address of the first Micro / Mini LED
Manager must be 202:
Connect all Micro / Mini LED Manager to the DMX-controller as described above and make sure
all are switched on.
Set all DMX-channels on the controller to zero (000)
Now set DMX-channel 202 to maximum (255)
Press the “Auto DMX address” button (6) on the first Micro / Mini LED Manager in the chain for
about 5seconds.
Done!
The first Micro / Mini LED Manager in the chain will receive DMX-start address 202 and
it will automatically calculate and program the DMX addresses of all the other units in the DMX-
chain! This means that the 2
nd
Micro / Mini LED Manager automatically receives address 206,
