Dipswitch setting for DMX Mode
When all dipswitches are turned off, the Chaotic LED is in DMX Mode.
- Dipswitches #1 - #9 control the DMX Addresses.
DMX Address
DMX products must have their own "address" to receive DMX signals.
by flipping the appropriate DMX dipswitches.
You need to know that DMX address settings are the sum of the dip switch values.
A standard DMX address for a Showtec Chaotic LED, which has 5 channels is as follow:
Example
Chaotic LED
Unit 5
Switch
#1
#3
#5
Total sum
Explanation: Since each unit has 5 channels, each address advances 5 values (See Address Value
above).
Once address values are determined, add DMX dipswitch values to obtain the appropriate address
(DMX Dip Switches "ON") for each unit. Flip appropriate DMX dipswitches on each unit.
Example:
1. If you want to give an Chaotic LED DMX address 133, you first have to find the number 133 in the
DMX Chart. (See page 11)
2. Then look at the left side (Dip Switches #1-#5) horizontally from 133.
In the Table you'll see #1=ON, #2=OFF, #3=ON, #4=OFF, #5=OFF.
3. Finally look at the upper side of the table (Dip Switches #6-#9) vertically from 133.
In the Table you'll see #6=OFF, #7=OFF, #8=ON, #9=OFF.
