4.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Configuring the Starting Address

Each fixture requires a starting address from 1~512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the starting address. For example, a fixture that uses seven DMX channels and is addressed to start on DMX channel 100, will read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose the starting addresses for each fixture so that the channels used do not overlap. In addition, you should note the starting address selected for future reference.

The LEDrain™ 56C fixture uses seven or three DMX channels. If this is your first time using DMX, we

recommend reading the “DMX Primer” section in the “Appendix”.
