1. Connect all devices in series with DMX cables.
2. The first unit in the chain functions as the master device. Set up the unit as described above.
3. On each slave device, press <MENU> until < Slave Mode> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
4. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select the appropriate mode and press <ENTER>.
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.
Use the table below to define the correct address.
