2. Configuring your DimWheel
Configure your DimWheel by setting the DIP switches on the front:

The DIP switches remain accessible after installation. When carrying out
changes in the DIP switch settings, turn the DimWheel off and on again (by

5. Creating/uploading show sequences
The DimWheel comes with 4 default show sequences and is set to show 2 by default:
Show 1: red fading into green, green into blue, blue into red, red... etc.
Show 2: red fading into green, green into blue, blue into white, white into red... etc.
Show 3: red changing into green, green into blue, blue into red, red... etc.

working with ShowMaster, see the TOOLbox user manual (www.eldoled.com/support).
