* Product Installation:
* Wallwasher DMX Programming Set-Up:
Check battery if it’s in operable condition (not turning ON). If
not operable, properly remove and replace the battery.
There are two modes within the DMX Addresser: “0 and 1”.Depending on the type of
product you have, you will need to set it to either“0”or ”1”. If you have aWallwasher
(Slim Ray or FloodWallwasher), then you would need to set it at“0”. Now, if you have a
DMX LED Lightbar you would have to set it at“1”.
To set the Mode to either “0” or “1”, press and hold the Forward Button and
simultaneously, press the Power Button once. Refer to g. 1 & g. 2
When done correctly it should show a numeric digit, either 0or 1. The digit you want is
“0”because in this example we’re setting up aWallwasher (Refer to g. 1). If we were to
use a DMX LED Light Bar, we would then use“1” (Refer to g. 2). The number will stay
visible for a brief second, don’t worry if you miss it.Turn the DMX Adresser back OFF and
repeat the step until you see “0” on the display.
* Note: “0” and “1” will alternately be displayed each time the step is repeated.

In order to set the DMX Address for Solid Apollo’s Slim Ray 9 RGB LED Spot light
60W or Eco Flood Wallwasher 40W, you must be in the category letter“A”. If
you’re not already in letter “A”, press the Forward Button repeatedly until it
displays A001 or the letter “A” appears on the rst digit. If you are already on
category“A”, proceed to step 2.
To set DMX Address, begin by pressing the Forward Button. Notice the
second digit will begin to ash (this indicates that you can now set the
numeric value for that digit).To change the value press the Up Button. To
set the remaining digits, press the Forward Button. Repeat the process
to set your DMX Address.When you are done, press the Record Button to
record your DMX address.
After you press the Record Button, it will display four lines in the LED display.
Ths indicates that the data is being transferred and recorded by the Slim Ray’s
or RGB FloodWall Washer’s internal addressing system. It is very important to
not disconnect while the DMX Addresser is processing the data, otherwise the
data will not be recorded. Once the four lines disappears, the data has been
successfully transferred and recorded.
DMX Addresser Programs
The DMX Addresser has three main functions: A, Pand C. The following images below (see Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) explains what each function
corresponds to. Once you have a good grasp of the functionalities, the following steps will give you a thorough explanation on how to properly operate
within the programs and functions.
A : DMX Address - In this function you
will be able to set DMX Address to
Solid Apollo’s Slim Ray 9 RGB LED Spot
light 60W, Eco RGB Flood Wallwasher
40W or DMX LED Light Bars. It also has
the ability to set up to 512 Channels.
P : Program - Program is where you choose
various lighting eects as well as the option
to pick single color lighting. In this function,
not only you are able to pick lighting eects
but also adjust the speed and brightness for
each lighting eect.
C: ChannelTesting - Channel testing is
primarily used to test RGB Channels for the
DMX Fixture. If you want to check if the colors
RGB are working properly in your DMX xture,
input in the DMX Address in the DMX Addresser.
C : Channel TestP : Program
Fig. 4 Fig. 5
* Note: The DMX Addresser can set up to 512 channels - therefore, the
rst digit only goes from 1 to 5 and the other 2 digits goes from 1 to 9.

than the RGB like RGBW, then 004 would then be the 4th color.

Continuous Address and Same Address Program
Besides the 3 main programs, the DMX Addresser has 2 hidden program features that will make setting up multiple addresses more easier and less
stressful. The hidden features are called“Continuous Address Program” and“Same Address Program”. The following images below (see Fig. 6
and Fig. 7) denes “Continuous Address Program” and“Same Address Program”. Once you have a good understanding of what the programs do,
the next following steps will give you a thorough explanation on how to navigate to the features and properly operate within the program.
C : Continuous Address Program
Fig. 6 :
C : Continuous Address Program - The Continuous Address Program
will allow you to set a DMX address to one DMX Fixture and have it
continuously set DMX addresses for multiple DMX Fixtures.
Normally you would have to manually set DMX addresses for each
individual DMX xtures but with the Continuous Program, it will
automatically do it for you.
Here’s how it works, for example : If you have 2 RGB DMX xtures
daisy-chained together and the rst DMX xture’s DMX Address is
set to 001 then by default 001 would be Red, 002 would be Green
and 003 would be Blue (if you have a fourth color then it would be
004). If you select ( C ) Continuous Address Program, the program
would automatically make the next DMX xture’s DMX Address after
003 (004 if you have a fourth color). With that said, the second DMX
Fixture’s DMX Addresses would then start at 004 Red, 005 Green and
006 Blue. This pattern (multiples of 3) would carry out to all the DMX
Fixture you have (007 Red, 008 Green, 009 Blue, etc...).
You can always conrm if these DMX addresses are set correctly by
using the Channel Test Program (Please refer to pg.5).
* Please note that you don’t necessarily have to start at 001. You can
start at DMX address 200. Just remember that the next 3 addresses will
always go in order (201, 202, 203, etc.) and will be reseserve based on
the number of channels you have in your DMX xture (RGB).
S : Same Address Program
Fig. 7 :
S: Same Address Program - The Same Address Program allows you
to set the same DMX address throughout all your DMX Fixture.
For example: If you have 5 DMX xtures daisy-chained together and
you want all of them to be set at DMX Address 001, by selecting the
( S ) Same Address Program it will automatically set DMX address
001 to all 5 DMX Fixtures.
The Same Address Program will conveniently set the DMX addresses
for you. No need to unplug, reconnect and manually setting each
DMX Fixture.
And just like the Continuous Address Program, you can also conrm
the DMX addresses are set correctly by using the Channel Test
Program (Please refer to Pg.5 of this manual).

the four lines to record the data, once the four lines disappears, it has
been successfully recorded.
When the program has been recorded, it will then ask you to set the starting
DMX address. Please refer to“Setting DMX Address”or “Page 4”of this
manual for setting the DMX address.
When you are done, press the Record Button to record your DMX address
and settings. Wait for the four lines to record the data, once the four lines
disappears, it has been successfully recorded.
If done correctly, if you choose Continuous Address, it will continuously

And if you choose Same Address, all your DMX Fixtures would
automatically have the same DMX address.
If you want to verify if the DMX addresses are set correctly. Please refer to
“Channel Testing”or“Page 5”of this manual.
