7.4 DMX Mode
This mode allows you to control the device by any universal DMX controller.
• All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to
the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an
individual address can be set for every device.
• When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one
particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
• In case of the 20-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1
(CH1~20), the second to 21 (1 + 20) (CH21-40), the third to 41 (21 + 20) (CH41~60), and so on.
The highest start address is 493.
