Setting the address switches
The ADDRESS switches are used to select the DMX512 starting address for the
DMX8DIM. Each switch represents a value as marked on the circuit board. The
address switches should be turned on in a combination whose totals equals the desired
DMX512 starting address. For example, if the desired starting address is 25, the
switches representing the values 16, 8, and 1 should be turned on. The rest of the
address switches should be off. The photo below shows this setting.
The starting address can be set to any value from 1 to 511. The starting address
represents the address to be used for output 1 of the DMX8DIM. The second output will
respond to the next DMX512 slot, etc.
Setting all of the address switches to off is the same as having switch 1 on (address 1).
