How to set the DIP-switches to obtain the right starting address:
Each of the first 9 DIP-switches correspond to a certain DMX-value:
DIP
#1
#2
#3
#4
#5
#6
#7
#8
#9
#10
Value
1
2
4
8
16
32
64
128 256
OFF = 3CH DMX mode
ON = 1CH DMX mode
You can combine the values of these switches to become any starting address between 1 and 512:
Begin address = 01
switch 1=ON
values: 1
Begin address = 05
switch 1+3=ON
values: 1+4 = 5
Begin address = 09
switch 1+4=ON
values: 1+8 = 9
Begin address = 13
switch 1+3+4=ON
values: 1+4+8 = 13
…
Begin address = 62
switch 2+3+4+5+6=ON
values: 2+4+8+16+32 = 62
HOW TO OPERATE THE UNIT
1. Standalone 1unit:
Important: The DMX address MUST be set to 001.
(first DIP switch = ON, all other are OFF)
Dipswitch 2 has two functions:
OFF: Performs the built-in programs automatically to the rhythm of the music.
ON: Auto mode. Eight Chases (dip switch 3 changes the direction of rotation, dip switch 4,5,6 changes the
speed)
2. Two or more units in master/slave setup:
Connect 2 or more units together using good quality balanced XLR microphone cables. The unit that has no
cable connected to its input will react as master, the others are the slave units.
Important: On the master unit the DMX address MUST be set to 001.
(first DIP switch = ON, all other are
OFF)
The slave units can have any DMX address value but NOT 001!
You can inverse the behavior of one or more slave units by changing the position of DIP-switch n°10 on
these slaves. Just try it and see if the effect becomes better. Changing DIP-switch n°10 on the master has
no effect.
3. Connect the optional CA-8 controller for more control:
The CA-8 controller can only be used in standalone or master/slave mode. Connect the controller to the jack
input of the first unit (master). Now you can control all the connected units:
