The DMX-40B is programmed to control 16 channels of DMX per fixture. Therefore, the fixtures you
wish to control with the corresponding “SCANNER” buttons on the unit must be spaced 16 channels
apart (check the respective fixture’s manual for how to enter the information into the fixture).
Note: failure to use these DMX assignments may cause a lack of control of the fixtures.
