NOTE 1：UCS512E address write, Need to confirm that the fixture's own channel has been written.
1.3 Click to select the chip to be coded and enter the code‐writing interface (for example, UCS512C4)
Start channel: start address of the first fixture, +/‐ button or click number to change (usually 1)
Interval channel: the channel address interval of the lamp IC, +/‐ button or click the number to change (this
value needs to be confirmed by the actual lamp)
6 / 18
Write address: Click this button, and the code writer will send a code write instruction;
Test address: After writing the address, click to test the address (the page will turn to the "test address"
page);
Go to write parameters: After clicking, the code writer will write the parameters (the page turns to the "parameter
setting" page).
1.4 After filling in the reated address data, click the "Address" button;
1.5 Click "Address", the code writer will pop up a pop‐up window, confirm the prompt or wait a few
seconds, the pop‐up window will close. (The content of the prompt pop‐up window is mostly the
response of the lamp lighting during the setting operation; it can be used as a test for the success of
the operation), click "write address" again to start writing the address;
1.6 When addressing is in progress, the page displays: "Addressing now"; after finishing addressing,
the page displays: "Addressing".
1.7 After complete the address edition, can click “test the address” to test.
2. Test the address
7 / 18
Interval channel: channel interval between light points (maximum 255);
Compensation mode: Check to block some of the lamp IC functions during the test (automatically
light up when there is no signal) to ensure no interference in the test.
Manual test: manually click +/_ to test; or click the middle number*Note 2, and enter the value test
in the middle (maximum 1536).
Automatic test: Automatic pixel test.
Note 2: Click the number on part of the page of the code writer, and a small keyboard will appear for
easy input of numbers. As shown below:
3. Setting parameters（setting parameters needs professional person to operate）
Setting parameters: the parameters can be set again some DMX512 chips’s function and
status.
3.1 Click“ setting parameters”, enter the chip classification interface 1, as show below:
