1. Make sure the product is plugged into a power source.

Set the DMX starting address and personality by following the directions below.
DMX Starting
Address
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels
needed for the selected DMX personality. Choosing a starting address that is too high can
restrict access to some of the product’s channels.
The Intimidator™ Wash Zoom 250 IRC uses
either 7 or 14 channels, depending on the
personality. The highest configurable DMX address in 7-channel mode is 506
. The
highest configurable DMX address in 14-channel mode is 499.
