Betapacks 2

[tom_the_LD]

Hi guys did a search and couldn't find anything.

 

 

This is probably a stupid question, but do the Betapack 2's by zero 88 actually have set DMX addresses, or do they just take the first 6 consecutive channels available. I would have thought they MUST be addressed but I just can't find where! I downloaded the manual and had a look and looked on the front of the dimmers today but couldn't see anything.

 

The only place I can think of would be under the plate where the tester switch adjustements are.

 

 

Thanks for the help

Moderation: Moved to "The Next Generation" because this is a query from a school age member and on a pretty basic topic. Note that a single Google found an online manual for the Betapack 2 HERE.

The dimmers have a plate covering the DMX addressing pots - unscrew the little screw at the top of the plate and you can set the DMX address.

 

Hope this helps,

The addressing dials are on the back of the unit, are they not?

100, 10 and 1 rotaries.

They were on the back of Betapack 1s, but the front of 2s. Indeed the wiki confirms this for the Betapack 1 and we have confirmed above about the two.

As above Tom.

If they're the Beta2s I think you're talking about then I have addressed them many times, and last time I was there the cover plates were all intact.

 

Remove them (and put them somewhere safe) then adjust the rotary controls to set DMX (each wheel sets a digit).

 

The cover plates are on the right of the unit, beyond the fuses/MCBs; underneath the DMX connectors I think.

yep, its next to the little push test switches.
