DMX DECODER INSTALLATION GUIDE
a. To set the DMX address, press and hold ‘buon 1’ for 2 seconds
unl numbers on display ash.
b. Select an address based on the funconality of the Master DMX
Controller (see controller installaon guide). Once an address is
selected, the remaining 3 channels will be ulized digitally. For
example, if the decoder is addressed to 001 on the display then
CH1 – 001, CH2 – 002, CH3 – 003, CH4 – 004.
c. Once display stops ashing, DMX address is set.

SETTING THE DMX ADDRESS
SETTING DMX CHANNELS
The DMX channels can be adjusted, which allows the user to conserve
DMX addresses that may be wasted when programming a large DMX
universe.
The factory default is 4cH: 4 channels (address 001 - 004) as
highlighted in the chart below. Charts have also been provided for
1cH, 2cH, and 3cH sengs.
Diode LED strongly recommends only professional DMX installers
ulize the following sengs. All standard DMX applicaons specied
by Diode LED do not require these sengs to be adjusted.
