DMX mode operation and settings
DMX channel mode ()
The Compact PAR Mini LED has 2 DMX modes that use 3 or 6
channels. The 3 channel mode provides color mixing with 0-

In 6-channel mode, the Compact PAR Mini LED provides
color mixing, 36 popular preset colors, full-range dimming, and
strobe effects. The DMX command tables list all functions and
their values.

DMX address ()
A DMX controller uses either 3 or 6 DMX channels to control the
Compact PAR Mini LED. The DMX address is the first channel
used. If fixtures are set to 6 channel DMX mode and the first
fixture's DMX address is set to 1, then it receives instructions on
DMX channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The next fixture could then
be set to a DMX address of 7.
For independent control, each fixture must have its own unique
control channels. For symmetric control, identical fixtures can be
set to the same DMX address.
Assign an address for the fixture on the DMX controller. Then set
that address on the Compact PAR Mini LED as follows:
1. Press MENU to enter the control menu.
2. Scroll to  . Press ENTER.
3. Scroll to the address that you assigned to the fixture.
Press ENTER to save the address.
