DIP Switch Instructions
This product is in compliance with DMX512 protocol. Each DMX controller takes up 3 DMX addresses. Addresses can be set using either auto-index addressing or manual code selection to set up the address. The ‘0’ setting is OFF and the ‘1’ setting is ON. To use auto-index addressing, all DIP switch settings should be set to OFF. When using manual code selection to set up address, the 10th switch ‘FUN’ should be set to OFF. The other 9 switches represent binary value code which is used to set up the DMX starting address code. The DMX starting address code is equal to the sum of switches 1–9.
Manual Code Address Setting
To set the DMX starting address to 328 for example, switches 4,7, and 9 would
move to ON (1) as 256+64+8 equals 328.
Test Function
Switch number 10 (‘FUN’) is used to activate built-in functions. ‘FUN’ will
always be set to OFF (0) when using DMX decoder function. When ‘FUN’ is ON
(1), the other switches can be turned on to test specific functions listed
below.
