Adjustable settings:
DMX Address: Choice of DMX address.
Timings :
DIP 10 = 0, DIP 11 = 0 : 1 µs à 2 µs
DIP 10 = 1, DIP 11 = 0 : 0.8 µs à 2.2 µs
DIP 10 = 0, DIP 11 = 1 : 0.6 µs à 2.2 µs
DIP 10 = 1, DIP 11 = 1 : 0.5 µs à 2.5 µs
- The timing in microseconds is adjustable between 100/200 µs and 2500 µs. Please refer to the operating instructions for your servomotor to set up this pulse width.
Détails of available fixtures on the board:
Mode 8-Bit (12CH)
DMX channels Description: 12 8-Bit channels fixture
Check that your wiring complies with the connection diagram.
When your installation is powered, the board will automatically look for a DMX signal. Once this is done, the DMX LED should light up in time with the DMX frames or fixed if your DMX refresh rate is high.
When your console is set to the operating mode (Fixture) and the assigned address, you can now control the Output levels of the DMX Servomotor 12 channels ST board (first generation).
