4. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and note the start address selected for future reference If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX 512 control protocol we suggest jumping to the Appendix Section and reading the heading DMX Primer lt 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 Figuring out which switches to toggle ON given a specific start address can be accomplished by determining which switch values will add up to the address value and turning these switches on Do so by doing the following 1 Determine the largest value switch that is less than the start address Turn this switch on 2 Subtract the value of the switch you just turned on from the starting address number 3 Determine the largest value switch that is less than the remainder from the previous subtraction Turn this switch on 4 Subtract the value of the switch you just turned on from the remainder of the previous subtraction 5 Repeat steps three and four until you have a remainder of zero EXAMPLE STARTING ADDRESS Address 10 N p Y N r K 5 o a N H Switch 4 8 e se 9 8 7 6 5 43 2 1 ota ii li
