DMX address setting - When controlling the unit (or units) with a DMX controller, each one must be set with a specific DMX address. You can choose to set all units with the same DMX address or you can set every unit with its own DMX address. If all units are set with the same DMX address all units will be synchronised and operate in the same way.

If you set each unit with a different DMX address, they will receive the DMX signal from their own DMX address. You will now be able to control each unit individually. The DMX address that you set for each unit must be determined by the number of channels.

This unit can be operated in either 7Ch or 13Ch mode, so for example if you wish to operate in 7Ch mode, you should set the starting address of the first unit to A001, the second unit must then be set to A008 (1+7), the third to A015 (8+7), the fourth to

A022 (15+7) e.t.c.
