If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol than I suggest jumping
to the Appendix Section and read the heading “DMX Primer”. It contains very useful information that
will help you understand its use.
Set the start address using the group of DIP switches located usually on bottom of the fixture. Each
dip switch has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will provide
the start address. Determining which switches to toggle ON given a specific start address can be
accomplished in the following manner. By subtracting the largest switch value possible from the
selected start address which does not cause a negative number.
EXAMPLE STARTING ADDRESS
Address 10
Pin # 4 = 8
Pin # 2 = 2
Total = 10
Address 24
Pin # 5 = 16
Pin # 4 = 8
Total = 24
Resolving address using
simple math.
Address 233
233 – (128) = 105, Turn ON Dip
# 8
105 – (64) = 41, Turn ON Dip #
7
41 – (32) = 9, Turn ON Dip # 6
9 – (8) = 1, Turn ON Dip # 4
1 – (1) = 0, Turn ON Dip # 1
You will most likely use the first
available number which maybe
number 1. This number was
selected for example purposes.
