Setting the DMX Address
1. Program DMX addresses by gently pressing in the adjustment buttons with
a pointed object such as a pen (Figure 8).
2. Use channels 001 thru 512 to program the DMX addresses for the lighting
control console. Program the DMX address on the fixture to match the
desired channel at the lighting control console.
(Example: 001 = channel 1, 002 = channel 2, etc.)
3. A fixture can be programmed for individual control by setting the DMX
address exclusively to a single fixture. Multiple fixtures can be set to the
same DMX address to control a group of fixtures on a single channel at
the lighting control console.
