Dipswitch setting for DMX Mode
DMX products must have their own "address" to receive DMX signals.
Addresses on the controller are set by flipping the appropriate DMX dip switches #1 - #9.
You need to know that DMX address settings are the sum of the dip switch values.
A standard DMX address for a Showtec Quadro Flower, which has 10 channels is as follow:
Example
Quadro Flower Address Value
DMX Dip Switches "ON"
Unit 5
41
#1 , #4, #6
Switch
Value
#1
1
#4
8
#6
32 +
Total sum
41
Explanation: Since each unit has 10 channels, each address advances 10 values (See Address Value
above).
Once address values are determined, add DMX dip switch values to obtain the appropriate address
(DMX Dip Switches "ON") for each unit. Flip appropriate DMX dip switches on each unit.
Example:
1.
If you want to give a Quadro Flower DMX address 133, you first have to find the number 133 in the
DMX Chart. (See page 11)
2.
Then look at the left side (Dip Switches #1-#5) horizontally from 133.
In the Table you’ll see #1=ON, #2=OFF, #3=ON, #4=OFF, #5=OFF.
3.
Finally look at the upper side of the table (Dip Switches #6-#9) vertically from 133.
In the Table you’ll see #6=OFF, #7=OFF, #8=ON, #9=OFF.
