takes over the control of the LED fixtures. You can determine which 24 DMX-channels from the controller are
used, simply by setting the start address. Example: the external controller sends 512 DMX-channels and
you want that channels 100 to 123 control the LED-fixtures  simply set the DMX address to "100":
 Use the dial (14) to select "DMX ADDRESS" and press the ENTER button (13)  the display shows
"ADDRESS [xxx]" (xxx = current DMX address)

 RGBM: CH1 = Red + CH2 = Green + CH3 = Blue + CH4 = Master dimmer
 MRGB: CH1 = Master dimmer + CH2 = Red + CH3 = Green + CH4 = Blue
Check the DMX-channel arrangement of your fixtures and choose the right one:
 Use the dial (14) to select "DMX CONFIG" and press the ENTER button (13)  the display shows
"CONFIG [RGBM]" or "CONFIG [MRGB]".
 Use the dial (14) to select the option you want.
