ADDRESSING THE LIGHTS
When using the DMX control input, you are required to set the base
address for sPDS-60ca 24V and configure the lights connected to it.
The base address for the supply will be the starting address for the first
light connected to Output 1. You can also group more than one fixture to
the same address or reverse the addressing sequence of the fixtures on
Output 1.
Setting Base Addresses
1. Press and release the UP or DOWN address buttons to step through
the base address. The address numbers 1 through 170 will appear in the
display. Press and hold either button to rapidly advance to the desired
light number. Stop when the desired base number appears on the
display. (See Fig. 6.)

2. After selecting a base address, press and hold the UP and DOWN
buttons simultaneously to enter configuration mode. "CFG" appears in
the display. (See Fig. 7.)
When entering Configuration mode, sPDS-60ca 24V automatically

CONFIGURATION MODE
discovers all lights that are connected and addresses them sequentially,
beginning with the base address on the first light on
Output 1 through the last light on Output 2. This step ensures that
sPDS-60ca 24V correctly identifies all of the lights connected to its
outputs.
After the discovery is complete, two 3-digit numbers are briefly
displayed. The first digit indicates the output port and the last two digits
denote the number of lights connected to that output. For example,
the number 107 represents 7 lights on Output 1, while the number 213
indicates 13 lights on Output 2. If there are no lights attached to an
output, the last two digits are 00, as in 200. (See Fig. 8.)

3. To exit Configuration mode, press both buttons simultaneously. The
base address for sPDS-60ca 24V will appear on the display.
EXAMPLE: 13 NODES ON OUTPUT 2
Grouping Light Addresses
sPDS-60ca 24V allows you to conserve the total number of light addresses
in an installation by grouping light fixtures together. When you group light
addresses, you can assign multiple lights to the same address. The number
of lights per group is limited to the maximum number of lights connected
to Output 1. (For example, if you have 10 lights connected to Output 1 and
12 lights connected to Output 2, the maximum group number is 10.)
To set grouping of light addresses:
1. Press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously to enter
configuration mode. "CFG" appears in the display.
2. When entering Configuration mode, sPDS-60ca 24V automatically
discovers all lights that are connected.
3. Use the UP button to set a positive group number (the number of lights
per group), according to the following table.

ALL lights are assigned the selected Base Address.
If you have 20 lights with a Base Address of 1, they are ad-
dressed as follows:

Address:

All lights are addressed sequentially, starting with the Base
Address. If you have 20 lights with a Base Address of 1, they are
addressed as follows:
Light #:

Address:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... 18 19 20

Every two lights are assigned the same address. For example, if
you have 20 lights with a Base Address of 1, they are addressed
as follows:
Light #:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... 18 19 20
Address:
1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 ...

Every three lights are assigned the same address. For example,
if you have 20 lights with a Base Address of 1, they are ad-
dressed as follows:

: It is recommended that you set your group number to a number
note
that evenly divides the number of lights connected to Output 1 and you
balance the number of lights on each output. Otherwise, you may have
a smaller amount of lights at the end of each output port that would
receive the next address.

Example 1:
When using a Rainbow Wash with sequential addressing
(group address set to 1), the light flows from the center
(the first light on Output 1) to the last light in Output 1, and
then back to the first light on Output 2.
When using a Rainbow Wash with reverse addressing
(group address set to -1), the light flows from left to
(Center Feed Installation)
right across all fixtures. The light goes from the last fixture
on Ouput 1 to the first fixture on Output 1, and then to the
first fixture on Output 2 to the last fixture on Output 2.
4. Use the DOWN button to set reverse addressing.
: sPDS-60ca 24V allows you to reverse the addressing sequence
note
on Output 1 ONLY.
Using reverse addressing, the last light on Output 1 receives the Base
Address, and then the addresses are assigned sequentially from the last
light to the first.
Reverse addressing is particularly useful if you mount your power supply
in the center of a linear feed or if you want to feed an installation that
uses multiple power supplies from each side. Use reverse addressing
to chase from one end of the light run to the next. (See Fig. 9 for
examples.)
Use the DOWN button to set a "negative" group number, according
to the following table. Set a negative group number to use reverse
addressing.

Example 2:
Reverse addressing allows you to have a continuous Rainbow Wash
when you have an installation fed by more than one power supply.
When using sequential addressing on both power supplies, the light
flows from the first light on Output 1 of the first power supply to the
last light on Output 1 (left to right), and then it flows from the first
light on Output 1 of the second power supply to the last light on
sPDS-60ca 24V DMX / Ethernet
Output 1 (right to left).
(Base Address = 1)
Using reverse addressing on the second power supply allows you to
set up the flow from left to right across all fixtures. With this setup,
the light flows from the first light on Output 1 of the first power supply
to the last light on Output 1, and from the last light on Output 1 of the
second power supply to the first light on Output 1.
