5. Set up the master device as described in Stand-Alone Mode.
Note: If you want the slave devices to use the same dimmer mode as the master device, make sure that the
dimmer mode is set to <OFF> on all slave de vices.
7.5 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.
In case of the 3-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1–3), the
second to 4 (1 + 3) (CH4–6), the third to 7 (4 + 3) (CH7–9), and so on. The highest start address is 510.
In case of the 5-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1–5), the
second to 6 (1 + 5) (CH6–10), the third to 11 (6 + 5) (CH11–15), and so on. The highest start address
is 508.
In case of the 9-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1–9), the
second to 10 (1 + 9) (CH10–18), the third to 19 (10 + 9) (CH19–27), and so on. The highest start address
is 504.
In case of the 13-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1–13), the
second to 14 (1 + 13) (CH14–26), the third to 27 (14 + 13) (CH27–39), and so on. The highest start
address is 500.
