6. Operation
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
• The VDPLW1601 can work stand-alone with fixed colour output or controlled by an external DMX-
controller (not incl.).
• The VDPLW1601 in master mode generates DMX values on the DMX output [6]
. Linked devices will
follow the behaviour of the master when they are placed in slave mode.
• All settings are made through the DIP switch [5]. Note: “-” = OFF

a) DMX-512 (slave mode)
• All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to
the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an
individual address can be set for every device.
• When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one
particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
• In case of the 6-channel VDPLW1601, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1
(CH1~6), the second unit to 7 (1 + 6) (CH7~12), the third to 13 (7 + 6) (CH13~18), and so on.
• The start address is set using DIP-switch 1 through 9 (binary add).
