OPERATION

This section describes how to select the DMX operation mode and address using
the DIP-switch and briefly describes the programmable control options.
DMX MODES
The CX-2 has 2 DMX modes to choose from: a 1-channel mode that provides
control of the built-in stand-alone features, and a 4-channel mode that provides
full control of all effects.
To select DMX mode
1 Disconnect the fixture from power.
Set DIP-switch pin 10 to OFF.
2 To select 1-channel DMX mode, set DIP-switch pin 11 to ON.
3 To select 4-channel DMX mode, set DIP-switch pin 11 to OFF.
DMX ADDRESS
DIP-switch pins 1-9 are used to set the control address. The address, also known
as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the
controller.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own address and non-
overlapping control channels. Two CX-2s may share the same address only if
they are to respond identically: they will receive the same instructions and
individual control will not be possible.
To set the DMX address
1 Select an address for the fixture on your controller. Look up the DIP-switch
setting for the address in the table below.
2 Disconnect the fixture from power.
3 Set pins 1 through 9 to the ON (1) or OFF (0) position as listed in the table.
