UNIT ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT
The smart remote connection bus used with XC-40s
must have a single controlling (master) unit on it.
Assigning the master unit on the bus is accomplished
by setting unit addressess for the dimmers.
When using only one XC-40 with smart remotes
control, the unit must be set to UNIT ADDRESS 00.
If multiple XC-40s are used then one of them (and
ONLY one of them) must be set to UNIT ADDRESS
00. The remaining units may be set to any other unit
address. It is recommended that they be set to
consecutive numbers starting at 01 for future use.

CREATING AND SAVING SCENES
Scenes to be activated by an XC-40 dimmer must first
be created and stored (recorded) in the dimmer pack.
Scene recording stores the current intensity levels of
all four channels in the unit regardless of how they
were set.
Intensity levels can be set using only the dimmer, in
the local mode, or by operating the unit with a DMX
console. Each scene created has an associated user
settable fade time.
