Starting Address; General Troubleshooting - Chauvet Obey 3 Manual Del Usuario

Setting the Starting Address
This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a start address
from 1~512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel
indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that uses six DMX channels and was addressed to start
on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start
addresses so that the channels used do not overlap, and note the start address selected for future reference.
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX control protocol, go to the Appendix section, and read
the DMX Primer from the Chauvet website www.chauvetlighting.com. It contains very useful information that will
help you understand its use.
