2.DMX Control Mode(DMX Addressing)

DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal binary language used as a form of communication between
intelligent fixtures. Each Dip Switch(10-way Addressing Dip Switch) represents a binary value.

A DMX value(address) is set by combining the different dipswitches that will add up to the value you wish to achieve,
for example:

Setting DMX address for 21.
Flip switches1,3,&5 to the
"ON" position

Setting DMX address for 201.
Flip switches1,4,7,& 8 to the
"ON" position

Dipswitches# Value

1=1
3=4
5=16
=21

Dipswitches# Value

1=1
4=8
7=64
8=128
=201

In this mode, the dip-switch 7 is flipped to the "ON" position
the dip-switch 8(8-way function Dip Switch) is to the "OFF"
position. And these switches sometimes used to activate a
fixture special functions.

Dip Switch 1 address equals 1
Dip Switch 2 address equals 2
Dip Switch 3 address equals 4
Dip Switch 4 address equals 8

Dip Switch 5 address equals 16
Dip Switch 6 address equals 32
Dip Switch 7 address equals 64

Dip Switch 8 address equals 128
Dip Switch 9 address equals 256

Dip Switch 10 address equals 512

3.AUTO Control Mode

In this mode, the dip-switch 7 and 8(8-way function Dip Switch) are flipped to the "OFF" position, and the dip-switch
10(10-way Addressing Dip Switch) to the "ON" position. Flip the dip-switch 1~3(10-way Addressing Dip Switch) to
select fade time, the dip-switch 4~6 (10-way Addressing Dip Switch)to select chase speed and the dip-switch 7~9 (
10-Way Addressing Dip Switch) to select built-in 8 patterns. Their details can be referred to the below table;
