Next, each strobe must be set for two channel DMX mode. This is accomplished by setting Personality switches <3> and <4> to the On position (switch <5> must be in the off position).

Finally, set the fixture address switches to 1–23 (depending upon how many fixtures you have). Refer to Table 1.2 for the appropriate settings.

Notes: if a DMX channel is accidentally set for an even channel number, the Intensity and Rate functions will be reversed causing the strobe to behave erratically. The Mini Controller can control more than twelve strobes, but additional AF1000 strobes must be set at duplicate addresses with other existing strobes.
