Operation
Each decoder will occupy 4 address codes. The first character on the display
will be A, H, or S to display the function setting.
The remaining three characters will be the DMX address (001–512) or the mode
selection.
When in mode ‘A’, the decoder is
being controlled by the DMX console. The digital display will show the first
DMX address with the next three consecutive numbers being the remaining
channels the decoder will use. So if the display shows ‘A001’, this means that
the first channel is 001 and the other three channels are 002, 003, and 004
respectively. When connecting to an additional decoder, the default value of
the next decoder’s first channel would be 005 and the others three channels of
it would be 006, 007, and 008 in this example.
When in mode ‘H’, the decoder is using the built-in test mode programs. The
remaining three character spots will display the below codes to indicate which
program is currently selected.
| Display | Mode | Display | Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Turn OFF output | -5 | Static Purple |
| -1 | Static Red | -6 | Static Cyan |
| -2 | Static Green | -7 | Static White |
| -3 | Static Blue | -8 | Seven Color Jump (Speed Adjustable) |
| -4 | Static Yellow | -9 | Seven Color Fade (Speed Adjustable |
When in mode “S”, press the SET button to enter the speed adjustment setting
for H-08 and H-09, then press the +/- buttons to adjust pattern speed.
