DMX address setting
When controlling the unit (or units) with a DMX controller, each one must be set with a specific DMX address. You can choose to set all units with the same DMX address (usually d001) or you can set every unit with its own DMX address. If all units are set with the same DMX address all units will be synchronised and operate in the same way.
If you set each unit with a different DMX address, they will receive the DMX signal from their own DMX address. You will now be able to control each unit individually. The DMX address that you set for each unit must be determined by the number of channels. The PB-1214 has 8 DMX channels, therefore you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1 (d001), the second unit must be set to 9 (d009) being 1+8, the third to 17 (d017) being 9+8, the fourth to 25 (d025) being 17+8 and so on.
