DMX linking:
Each unit uses 11 DMX channels.
If control of all units is to be the same, each unit must have the same DMX address value.
Hold the “MENU” button until the mode has changed to the DMX mode. By pressing the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons
select the DMX value address. For example, if all units are set to DMX address 001 they will all display the same.
If individual control of each unit is required via a DMX controller, each unit must have its own DMX address and each
address must be at least 11 channels apart. For example, hold the “MENU” button until the mode has changed to the
DMX mode. By pressing the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons select the DMX value address. Set the first unit to 001 and
then the second unit to 012 and so on, each unit must be 11 channels apart. No unit channels must cross over.
Now control of each individual unit is available via the DMX controller.
