DMX products must have their own "address" to receive DMX signals. Addresses on the controller are set
by flipping the appropriate DMX dip switches.
You need to know that DMX address settings are the sum of the dip switch values.
A standard DMX address for a Showtec LED Par 56, which has four channels is as follow:
Example
LED Par 56 Address Value DMX Dip Switches "ON"
Unit 5 17 #1 , #5
Switch Value
#1 1
#5 16 +
Total sum 17
Explanation: Since each unit has four channels, each address advances four values (See Address Value
above).
Once address values are determined, add DMX dip switch values to obtain the appropriate address (DMX
Dip Switches "ON") for each unit. Flip appropriate DMX dip switches on each unit.
