AQUA DRIVER MODE CONTROL
The manner in which the Aqua Driver output ports are grouped and operate is determined
by the settings of the three switch blocks located on the front panel. There are three main
ways to use the Aqua Driver:
• External DMX control mode
• Standalone mode using internal chase programs
• Standalone mode using adjustable static dimming
EXTERNAL DMX CONTROL MODE
To allow DMX control you need to:
1 Set switch 10 of the
10-way switch block
ON to choose DMX
mode.
2 Select the required
DMX base address
using switches 1 to 9
of the 10-way switch
block. Each of the nine switches is 'weighted' with a value as shown here. Numerous apps
are available to assist you with configuring the correct switch combinations for a given
DMX address. Note: The total number of DMX channels required for control will depend upon
the chosen port grouping and fixture types (see "DMX channel layouts" on page 11).
3 Use switches 1 and 2 of the 6-way switch block to
choose the required grouping of channel outputs as
required by the Aqua Grazes being connected and
their required functions.

Note: The chosen fixture type (RGBW/A or White) is
applied globally to all ports. However, the electrical
characteristics of the ports do not change (only their
logical addressing configuration), so it is possible to
mix white fixtures into an RGBW set up. As such, the
various white emitters of the fixture would respond
individually to the separate RGBW channel addresses.
