DIP Switch Instructions
This product is in compliance with DMX512 protocol. Each DMX controller takes up 3 DMX addresses. Addresses can be set using either auto-index
addressing or manual code selection to set up the address. The ‘0’ setting is OFF and the ‘1’ setting is ON. To use auto-index addressing, all DIP
switch settings should be set to OFF. When using manual code selection to set up address, the 10th switch ‘FUN’ should be set to OFF. The other
9 switches represent binary value code which is used to set up the DMX starting address code. The DMX starting address code is equal to the
sum of switches 1–9.
Manual Code Address Setting
To set the DMX starting address to 328 for example,
switches 4,7, and 9 would move to ON (1) as 256+64+8
equals 328.
Test Function
Switch number 10 (‘FUN’) is used to activate built-in functions.
‘FUN’ will always be set to OFF (0) when using DMX decoder
function. When ‘FUN’ is ON (1), the other switches can be turned
on to test specic functions listed below.
All switches OFF: o󰀨
Switch 1 ON: red
Switch 2 ON: green
Switch 3 ON: blue
Switch 4 ON: yellow
Switch 5 ON: purple
Switch 6 ON: cyan
Switch 7 ON: white
Switch 8 ON: seven color jump (eight speed settings available)
Switch 9 ON: seven color fade (eight speed settings available)
With switch 8 or 9 ON (1) switches 1 through 7 become
speed settings.
Switches 1–7 OFF: speed 1 (slowest speed)
Switch 1 ON: speed 2
Switch 2 ON: speed 3
Switch 3 ON: speed 4
Switch 4 ON: speed 5
Switch 5 ON: speed 6
Switch 6 ON: speed 7
