DMX Dip Switch Setting
DMX products must have their own "address" to receive DMX signals.
Addresses on the Showtec Z-1020 are set by flipping the appropriate DMX dipswitches.
A standard DMX address for a Showtec Z-1020, which has 1 channel is as follow:
Z-1020 Address Value DMX Dip Switches "ON"
Unit 1 1 #1
Unit 2 2 #2
Unit 3 3 #1 and #2
Unit 4 4 #3
Explanation: Since each unit has 1 channel, each address advances 1 value (See Address Value above).
Once address values are determined, set the appropriate DMX dip switches on each unit.
Example:
1. If you want to give a Z-1020 DMX address133, you first have to find the number 133 in the DMX Chart.
2. Then look at the left side (Dip Switches #1-#5) horizontally from 133.
In the Table you’ll see #1=ON, #2=OFF, #3=ON, #4=OFF, #5=OFF.
3. Finally look at the upper side of the table (Dip Switches #6-#9) vertically from 133.
In the Table you’ll see #6=OFF, #7=OFF, #8=ON, #9=OFF.
