Appendix A - DMX Dip Switch Value Guide This is a brief guide to DMX dip switch value settings. DMX products must have their own "address" to receive DMX signals. Addresses on FL-1800D MK2 are set by flipping appropriate DMX dip switches. To do this, you need to know that DMX dip switches have the following values: #1=1; #2=2; #3=4; #4=8; #5=16; #6=32; #7=64; #8=128; #9=256. And you need to know that DMX address settings are the sum of the dip switch values. For example, standard DMX addresses for four FL-1800D MK2 , each of which has two channels (See page 2.), follow: Address Value DMX Dip Switches "ON" Unit 1 1 #1 Unit 2 3 #2 & #1 Unit 3 5 #3 & #1 Unit 4 7 #3, #2, #1 Explanation: Since each unit has two channels, each address advances two values (See Address Value above). Once address values are figured out, add DMX dip switch values to obtain the appropriate address (Any of Dip 1-9 "ON) for each unit. Flip appropriate DMX dip switches on each unit.
