9 DMX master 5ch mode In this mode the LED PAR is a DMX controller in 5ch mode. The 5ch mode is build in for controlling the new revision and old revision of the LED PAR. The connected slaves need to be set to a 5ch DMX slave (see chapter 8.3).
9.3 DMX usage for 5ch control The LED PAR in master mode sent DMX data according to the table below. The connected slaves need to be set up to a 5channel salve (see chapter 8.3). 1. DMX CH = 0, RGB control 2.
9.4 Colour pattern setting The colour patterns may be set by the 10pin dipswitch on the backside of the LED PAR according to the following tables: 9.4.1 Colour patterns All LED PARs are on and changing colours.

11 DMX master 3ch This mode has the same functions as the “DMX master 5ch” mode, chapter 9. The difference is the using of the DMX channels. In this mode only 3 DMX channels for controlling one unit are used. In this mode other units than a LED PAR can be connected e.g. a power pack, LED PARs of different companies which support control of a DMX master.
