Each decoder will occupy 4 address codes. The first character on the display will be A, H, or S to display the function setting.
The remaining three characters will be the DMX address (001–512) or the mode selection.superbrightleds com DMX3-4CH-4A 4-Channel DMX512 Decoder - fig 3When in mode ‘A’, the decoder is being controlled by the DMX console. The digital display will show the first DMX address with the next three consecutive numbers being the remaining channels the decoder will use. So if the display shows ‘A001’, this means that the first channel is 001 and the other three channels are 002, 003, and 004 respectively. When connecting to an additional decoder, the default value of the next decoder’s first channel would be 005 and the others three channels of it would be 006, 007, and 008 in this example.
When in mode ‘H’, the decoder is using the built-in test mode programs. The remaining three character spots will display the below codes to indicate which program is currently selected.
