Patching dimmers
Each dimmer channel is allocated to one handle. If you want to link
dimmers together, you can allocate several to the same handle.
1> Press Patch, then A [Dimmer]
2> On the top line of the display, the DLC-C003 shows the DMX
address it is going to patch at. You can change this by typing a
new address on the numeric keypad. You can also use softkey E
[Select a DMX line] to patch onto one of the other 3 DMX output
lines.
3> To patch a single dimmer, press a handle Swop button. To patch a
range of dimmers, hold down the Swop button for the first
dimmer in the range, then press the last Swop button in the range.
The range of dimmers will be patched to sequential DMX
addresses.
4> To patch another dimmer to the same handle, enter the new DMX
channel and press the Swop button again
5> Repeat from step 2 for other dimmers.
