DMX OPERATION
Each Sirius occupies 3 DMX channels as detailed in the following tables. When selecting DMX
addresses 3 channels must be available on each light source. For example, when setting up
multiple light sources, if the first Sirius is addressed to 009, the next must be 012, the next must
be 015 and so on.
SETTING THE DMX ADDRESS
The DMX address of each light source is set manually using the DIP switch accessible on the side
panel as shown below. Each switch number 1-9 indicates a binary number which added
together make up the DMX address.
