Setting The Dmx Address - Chauvet ST-800X User Manual

Operating Instructions

Setting the DMX Address

Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for
control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture
that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would
read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. 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 setting a DMX address then read the DMX Primer in the Appendix Section.
The ST-800X is controlled using 2 channels of DMX, therefore you would space fixtures every two
channels. For example: Fixture 1 = (001), Fixture 2 = (003), Fixture 3 = (005) and so on.
Visit the section titled; Binary & DIP-switch Addressing on page 14 & Binary Addressing Quick
Reference Chart on page 15 to quickly determine the binary DIP-switch settings for addressing your
fixture.
