4.Operating Guide
Online Operation
DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal binary language used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures. For
AL-Fade-6 II, the DMX address can be set by flipping the dipswitches 1-9 inside the unit and each 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 201.
Flip switches1,4,7,& 8 to the
"ON" position
Dipswitches# Value
1=1
4=8
7=64
8=128
=201
Setting DMX address for 21.
Flip switches1,3,&5 to the
"ON" position
Dipswitches# Value
1=1
3=4
5=16
=21
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
