Appendix – A DMX Dip Switch Value Guide
This is a brief guide to DMX dip switch value settings. DMX products
must have their own “address” to receive DMX signals. Addresses on
fanaresetbyflippingappropriateDMXdipswitches.
Todothis,youneedtoknowtheDMXdipswitcheshavethe
following values: #1=1; #2=2; #3=4; #4=8; #5=16; #6=32; #7=64;
#8=128;#9=256.AndyouneedtoknowthatDMXaddresssettings
are the sum of the dip switch values.
Forexample,standardDMXaddressesforfourHURRICANE,eachof
whichhas 1 channel (see Figure 2), follow:
Address Value DMX Dip Switches “ON”
Unit 1 1 #1
Unit 2 2 #2
Unit 3 3 #1, #2
Unit 4 4 #3
Explanation: Since each unit has one channel, each address advances
one value (see address value above).
Once address values are figured out, add DMX dip switch values to
obtaintheappropriateaddress(AnyofDip1-9“ON”)foreachunit.
Flip appropriate DMX dip switches on each unit.
