4.2.2 Setting the number of DMX channels
GB
and the start address
For separate control of all DMX units connected to
the light controller, each unit requires a start
address of its own. Example: If the first DMX chan-
nel of the BEAM-8 / WS is to be controlled by the
light controller via DMX address 6, set the start
address on the light effect unit to 6. The other DMX
channels of the BEAM-8 / WS will then be automat-
ically assigned to the subsequent addresses.
Example for various start addresses:

DMX address assignment of the BEAM-8 / WS
1) Press the button MENU repeatedly until the dis-
play shows:
for the 14-channel mode or
for the 5-channel mode
2) Use the button UP or DOWN to set the start
address.
3) Press the button ENTER to save the setting and
to start the DMX mode. The display will light up
constantly.
The BEAM-8 / WS can now be operated via
the DMX controller (for the DMX functions,
please refer to the tables in chapter 4.2.3). A dot
will flash on the right of the display when DMX
signals are being received.
Hint: If two or more BEAM-8 / WS are synchro-
nously controlled via the same start address, set
the rotation of the LED bars for one or more units to
opposite directions (
units, one LED bar will rotate clockwise and the
other LED bar counter-clockwise.
