Appendix

Binary & DMX DIP-switch Addressing

Each DIP-switch has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will provide the final address. Determining which switches to toggle ON given a specific desired address or value can be accomplished in the following manner. By subtracting the largest switch value possible from the selected start address which does not cause a negative number.

Alternatively, using the “Binary Addressing Quick Reference Chart” in the Appendix section of this manual, you can go directly to DIP-switch settings associated with all 512 values available.

EXAMPLE ADDRESS

Address 10

Pin # 4	= 8
Pin # 2	= 2
Total	= 10

Address 24

Pin # 5	= 16
Pin # 4	= 8
Total	= 24

ON

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
1	2	4	8	16	32	64	128	256

ON

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
1	2	4	8	16	32	64	128	256

Resolving address using simple math.

Address 233

233 – (128) = 105, Turn ON Dip # 8 105 – (64) = 41, Turn ON Dip # 7 41 – (32) = 9, Turn ON Dip # 6

9 – (8) = 1, Turn ON Dip # 4 1 – (1) = 0, Turn ON Dip # 1

You will most likely use the first available number which maybe number 1. This number was selected for tutorial purposes.
