Setting the DMX Address |
|
|
|
The QuadPuck has three rotary switches for programming the DMX address (SW1, SW2 SW3 - see figure 1). The rotary switches are also used to set test parameters, fade rates and demo modes (see Switch Settings). Switch positions are read at power-on and when the reset button (PB1) is pressed. When setting the DMX address, only the address corresponding to the first output channel (CH.0) is set, the remaining three follow in sequence. For example: If the DMX address is set to 1, CH.0 will correspond to DMX address 1, CH.1 will correspond to DMX address 2, CH.2 will correspond to DMX address 3, and so on. |

To set the DMX address, rotate each of the switches until the numbers in the view window represent the desired address (001-509). SW1 represents the 1's digit, SW2 represents the 10's digit, and SW3 represents the 100's digit. For example: to set the DMX address to 256, rotate SW1 to “6”, SW2 to “5”, SW3 to “2” and apply power (see figure 2). The ERROR and POWER indicators (D5 and D6) quickly flash three times to signify that the new parameters have been set (see Figure ). The address is now set to 256 and the output channels will respond to DMX 256, 257, 258 and 259, respectively.

If an invalid switch setting is detected, the error indicator to slowly flash twice and the QuadPuck will resort to the previously stored parameters.
