DMX512 ADDRESSING

WHEN ADDRESSING YOUR FIXTURES FOLLOW THE STARTING ADDRESS IN

THIS BOOK NOT THE ADDRESSING FOUND IN YOUR FIXTURE MANUAL

DMX 512 is a type of protocol that sends out up to 512 multiplex

channels at once down a common cable. Each channels has a

value from 0 to 255. You set the address for each receiver(fixture) by

using Dip switches or some type of digital readout

While DMX 512 is the standard used to control lighting, at this time,

there are some differences you should know about. One is pin con-

figuration. The DATA + And DATA- are reversed. This can be corrected

by using the reversal switch on the DMX Operator. If you have some

fixtures from each polarity use adapter Z-DMXADAPT between the

fixtures.

Each Dip switch has an ADDRESS based on binary code.

Dip switch #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9

Value 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256

YOU SELECT THE ADDRESS WANTED BY ADDING THE TOTAL OF DIP

SWITCHES ON.

Dip switch #10 is not used with DMX but normally to select some

Function ie: Master / Slave, Sound Activation or to receive DMX

Control.
