3. Operating modes For the controlling of the UA500 / 1500 devices, there are three kind of operating modes available: MODE: 1(1CH) 1 Channel-Mode, DMX start-address controls the direction of rotating and speed (Figure A) MODE: 2(2CH) 2 Channel-Mode, DMX start-address controls the direction of rotating, the following address controls the speed (Page 5, Figure B) MODE: 3(MAN) - Page 5 3.2 Two-Channel-Mode (Figure B): motor speed % DMX % The DMX start address controls the direction of rotation. The following address controls the speed of the motor. When the DMX value is 0, the motor stops. The curve characteristics of this mode is linear as shown in the figure above. If the DMX signal fails, the motor stops immediately (no "HOLD"...
