RESETTING THE SYSTEM

Warning: this will reset the controller to its factory defaults. This will erase all programs and settings.

2)Press and hold BANK UP and AUTO/DEL.

3)Turn on power to the unit (while still holding BANK UP and AUTO/DEL).

FIXTURE ADDRESSING

The DMX-40B is programmed to control 16 channels of DMX per fixture. Therefore, the fixtures you wish to control with the corresponding “SCANNER” buttons on the unit must be spaced 16 channels apart (check the respective fixture’s manual for how to enter the information into the fixture).

Note: failure to use these DMX assignments may cause a lack of control of the fixtures.
