For convenience, this table is also printed on the cover of the secondary fan module/card
retainer.
Function Address
This part of the switch sets the type of drive curve that the card will give for a certain function. e.g. A
card that is driving a gobo wheel requires a different drive curve to one that is driving the shutter.
These settings should not be changed unless your are:
(1) replacing a card (when you should set the card function address to be the same)
(2) installing a different type of module in that part of the lamp (function address instructions will be
given with the new module)
DMX Address
This part of the switch sets the internal DMX address of each drive card in relation to the overall
personality of the unit. These are factory set to the default Starlite Mk 5 Personality but they can be
altered, allowing the unit to be configured to the personality required. e.g. The same as other moving
lights in the system.
(See Factory Set Personality)
Note: Pan and Tilt DMX address cannot be re- assigned and are permanently set to the first 4
channels of the decoded DMX signal. E.g. Unit DMX start address set to channel 101 will have
Pan on channels 101 to 102 and Tilt on Channels 103 to 104. DMX channels read by the Head
Function Drive Cards will always start from the 5th decoded channel. Therefore if the card
driving the colour wheel is set to channel 1, then the colour wheel will respond to the 5th channel
from the unit DMX start address.
When replacing the fan module ensure that you re-plug the fan power connector.
