Using a combination of the dipswitches will allow the required DMX starting address from 1-512. For example, if DMX
starting address 24 is required set dipswitches 4 + 5 to the on position, this addesses the values of 16 + 8 together
and so on.
Please make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each device correctly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link. If two, three or more devices are addressed similarly, they
will work similarly.
