5. OPERATION

Connect the connection cable of the power unit to the power supply jack. Plug the power unit into your outlet.
Before operation, ensure the present power & DMX setup connection are correct. Then switch main power
on.
When both of two DMX signals are present , DMX indicators A and B will be lit up to indicate two ways
(considered from the A source and the B source) signal inputs.
Note: If only one way signal input is available, the relative DMX indicator A/B will be lit up.

5.1 Operation modes

LTP
LTP (Latest Takes Precedence, the last modified value prevails) is the preferred mode to control movement
of intelligent moving lights.
Flip dip-switch 1 and 2 to "Off" position, this unit will be in LTP (Latest Takes Precedence) mode. Provided
that two DMX signal are present, primarily, DMX signal of the A source will take precedence and override the
DMX signal of the B source.
1) if both of two DMX signals are not changing at all, DMX signal of the A source will take precedence and
override the DMX signal of the B source.
2) if only DMX signal of the B source is changing, DMX signal of the A source will NOT take precedence
unless DMX signal of the A source begins to changing.
HTP
HTP (Highest Takes Precedence, the highest value prevails) is the classical method to combine two DMX
signals.
Flip dip-switch 1 and 2 to "On" position, this unit will be engaged in HTP (Highest Takes Precedence) mode.
When two DMX signals are present, the highest level between two DMX signals will take precedence and
override the other DMX signal.
Merge
Flip dip-switch 1 to "On" and 2 to "Off" position, this unit will be engaged in MERGE mode, the mode allows
the unit to combine the output of two DMX sources. In this case, you must set the DMX starting address in
the Merge mode by flipping the dip-switch( the 10th dip-switch is not used) which is severed as the starting
channel of the source B.
If you like to merge 6 from DMX-signal A and 18 channels from DMX-signal B normally, you can flip dip-
switch 1, 2 and 3 to "On" position and the other dip-swichtes to "Off" position. The first 6 channels of the
DMX output signal are occupied by the 6 channels from DMX signal A. Channel 7 to 18 are occupied by the
12 channels of DMX signal B. In this way, a new combined signal is created from both DMX signals (1A, 2A,
3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7B, 8B, 9B... 18B).
Note: If you flip dip-switch 1 to "On" position and the others to "Off" position, the first channel of the DMX
output signal will be occupied with channel 1 from DMX signal B.
Backup
Flip dip-switch 1 to "Off" and 2 to "On" position, this unit will be engaged in BACKUP mode. As long as the A
source is supplying valid DMX data the B source will be locked out. On loss of DMX A the B input is
automatically enabled.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a soft lint-free and moistened cloth. Never use
alcohol or solvents!
DANGER TO LIFE!
Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation!
