Configuring the Starting Address

DMX Operation

Master/Slave Mode (Sound-Active, Auto Mode)

Do not connect a DMX controller to the daisy chain for this operating mode.
4. Operating Instructions
Each fixture requires a starting address from 1~512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for
control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the starting address. For example, a
fixture that uses seven DMX channels and is addressed to start on DMX channel 100, will read
data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose the starting addresses for
each fixture so that the channels used do not overlap. In addition, you should note the starting
address selected for future reference.
The COLORstrip™ Mini fixture uses four DMX channels. If this is your first time using DMX, we
recommend reading the "DMX Primer" section in the "Appendix".
This is the operating mode which will allow for control with an external DMX controller. You must
set the starting address for this mode. If this is your first time using DMX, then it is recommended
that you refer to the "DMX Primer" section in the "Appendix" of this manual.

5. Once all the slave fixtures have been connected and powered, activate
on from the control panel to confirm that all the slave fixtures have been properly
recognized.

It does not matter which DMX mode is selected for the slave fixtures. Either mode will be
effective.
