After switching on the PAL, it automatically detects whether the controller is transmitting DMX 512 or Martin RS-485. If a
DMX controller is detected the PAL defaults to the DMX protocol (1, 2, 3 or 4) selected in the protocol setup (PSEt). The table
below shows the difference between the four available DMX protocols. If a Martin controller is detected the PAL automati-
cally switches to protocol 0, which is the Martin RS-485 protocol.
Use the arrow keys to select the desired protocol and press [enter] to confirm or [menu] to cancel.
