Dipswitches
The SkyScan unit operates in 4 different basic control modes:
1. Calibration.
2. Full Automatic, programmable via dip switch settings.
3. DMX-512 control using one or eight DMX channels.
4. PC-Rs232 control using the SkyLink PC program for Windows.
Note: Do NOT connect DMX-512 signal cable at the same time as the Rs-232 PC cable. Connecting them
will not damage anything but both signals will become unusable until one or the other is removed.
Switch #10 always selects the Primary Mode of operation as:
#10 = PC <OR> Full Auto if set to ON (up).
#10 = DMX-512 <OR> Calibration if set to OFF (down).
Auto and Calibration are default until signal pattern recognition determines if DMX or PC control signals are
present to cause an override.
Default means "Pre-determined by Design".
Once an active control signal becomes present then the alternates are ignored until power is removed and
restored.
