Binary & DMX DIP-switch Addressing
Each DIP-switch has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will
provide the final address. Determining which switches to toggle ON given a specific desired address
or value can be accomplished in the following manner. By subtracting the largest switch value
possible from the selected start address which does not cause a negative number.
Alternatively, using the “Binary Addressing Quick Reference Chart” in the Appendix section of this
manual, you can go directly to DIP-switch settings associated with all 512 values available.

Resolving address
using simple math.
using simple math.
Address 233
233 – (128) = 105, Turn ON Dip # 8
105 – (64) = 41, Turn ON Dip # 7
41 – (32) = 9, Turn ON Dip # 6
9 – (8) = 1, Turn ON Dip # 4
1 – (1) = 0, Turn ON Dip # 1
105 – (64) = 41, Turn ON Dip # 7
41 – (32) = 9, Turn ON Dip # 6
9 – (8) = 1, Turn ON Dip # 4
1 – (1) = 0, Turn ON Dip # 1
You will most likely use the first available
number which maybe number 1. This
number was selected for tutorial
purposes.
