Dipswitch setting for DMX mode

DMX products must have their own "address" to receive DMX signals.

Addresses on the controller are set by flipping the appropriate DMX dip switches #1 - #9.

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256

You need to know that DMX address settings are the sum of the dip switch values.

A standard DMX address for a Showtec Calypso, which has 4 channels is as follows:

Example:

Calypso Address Value DMX Dip Switches "ON"

Unit 5 17 #1 , #5

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256

Switch Value

#1 1

#5 16 +

Explanation: Since each unit has 4 channels, each address advances 4 values. E.g.: 1 – 5 – 9 – 13 – 17 etc.

Once address values are determined, add DMX dip switch values to obtain the appropriate address

(DMX Dip Switches "ON") for each unit. Flip appropriate DMX dip switches on each unit.

Example:

1. If you want to give a Calypso DMX address 133, you first have to find the number 133 in the DMX

Chart. (See the next page)

2. Then look at the left side (Dip Switches #1-#5) horizontally from 133.

In the Table you’ll see #1=ON, #2=OFF, #3=ON, #4=OFF, #5=OFF.

3. Finally look at the upper side of the table (Dip Switches #6-#9) vertically from 133.

In the Table you’ll see #6=OFF, #7=OFF, #8=ON, #9=OFF.

1 2 ... 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
