102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and notate
the start address selected for future reference.
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol than I suggest jumping
to the Appendix Section and read the heading "DMX Primer". It contains very useful information that
will help you understand its use.

Caution!
Some controllers are factory configured to control a specific range of channels per fixture. For
example, you may have a controller pre-set to control 10 channels per fixture for a total of 12
fixtures. In this case you would be required to separate all fixtures in 10 channel increments
instead of the true number of channels your particular fixture utilizes.
SETTING TH E STAR TING ADDRESS
1)
Press the MENU button until the display reads {Addr}.
2)
Press the ENTER button to select DMX addressing. Once selected the display will read either a
1 or any other number that may have previously been set. You must make a selection within 6
seconds.

Press the UP and DOWN buttons to increase or decrease values until the desired value is
achieved.
4)
Press the ENTER button to activate selection.
Master/Slave settings {SHNd}
By linking the units under a master/slave control mode, the first unit can direct additional units to
create a sound activated, synchronized light show. This is very useful for mobile DJs who want to
setup and run a show quickly.
In this mode the fixture is assigned a master status and is indicated by the MASTER LED. If the
fixture is not connected to a controller then it will automatically enter a sound activated state. Any
other units connected will automatically be assigned to Slave mode status and will operate in unison
with the Master designated unit. To make the most of the 4 and 8-light show programs, it will be
necessary to address the units according to the instructions below.
S E L ECT IN G B E TWE EN 4 - L IGH T & 8- L IGHT SH OW
If you have 8 or more strobes and are currently running the strobes in the Master mode, then we
recommend switching to the 8-light show playback.
1)
On the first unit in the chain set to Master, tap the MENU button until the display reads {SHNd}.
2)
Press the ENTER button to select this function. The display will immediately read the current
show mode the device is set to. You must make a selection within 6 seconds.
3)
Press the UP and DOWN buttons to toggle between the two shows available {4LSH} or {8LSH}.
4)
Press the ENTER button to activate selection.

When calculating the next starting address for a particular fixture,
simply add the number of channels used by the last fixture to the
starting address of the last fixture. The result is the starting address of
the next fixture.
Example:
ST-200X 2Channels,
Add 2 to the previous start address 002 +
Next Fixture,
Add 2 to the previous start address 002 +
