Setting the DMX Switches
In order for the system to know the location of each pin deck light, you must set the switches
on each dimmer box to enter the “address” for the pin deck light it controls. Set the switches
by completing the steps below.
1. Locate the switches, as shown on the next page.
2. For switches 1 and 2, using a 3/32-inch (midget or pocket) flat-blade screwdriver, insert
the blade into the arrow in the slot of the switch. Turn the screwdriver to the left or
right until the tip of the slot points to the number you want. Refer to the table on the
following page to determine the number to enter for each dimmer box.
DMX Switch Settings
Switch 1 is used to set the last character of the two-character dimmer box identification
number.
Switch 2 is used to set the first character.
Switch 3 is really four separate switches:
o 3-1 is not used.
o 3-2 is used only to denote if the dimmer box is being used with a single, even
lane. In this case, the even-lane cable has to be plugged into the odd (top)
connector.
o 3-3 is for DMX Assistance Mode (see the next page).
o 3-4 only needs to be switched for the 32
nd
DMX dimmer box in an installation
and up.
Switch 4 is the red button on the dimmer box. When pressed for two seconds, switch 4
directs the light to shine white. When held for five seconds (and while the chassis is in
color mode), the LEDs will cycle through the LED colors to test them.
o The various color options (shown on the next page) can be selected by placing
the chassis in color mode and then pressing the red button (switch 4) until the
desired color shines.
The table on the following pages lists the settings to identify up to 63 dimmer boxes for
pinspotter pairs. If your center has more than 64 dimmer boxes, or has single pinspotters,
contact QubicaAMF Technical Support for additional numbers.
