Connecting to a GPIO Switcher

Preparation

  • Make sure the Lamps are fully charged.
  • Connect the Station and Lamps. Connection methods are here.

Setup Steps

  1. Set the DIP switches of each Lamp for the channels to be used (please refer to here).
  2. Please turn off the number 1 on the Station’s DIP switch to change the connection method to GPIO.
  3. Set DIP switches No.2, 3, and 4 on the Station according to the purpose of the switcher (please refer here for details).
  4. Connect the Station and switcher with a GPIO cable.
  5. Press and hold the power button on the lamp. When the power turns on, the status LED lights up blue.
  6. Connect the AC adapter to the station and turn it on. When the power turns on, the status LED lights up blue.
  7. Switch the channel of the switcher and check that each lamp reacts.

Note

  • Since the “Test Lamps” option in “FlexTally Utility” is affected by the switcher connection, please test when a switcher is not connected.
