Operation Guide  
General Instruction  
PANIC dip-switches 1~6:  
This is a 6 channel portable dimmer/pack. Each channel can individually  
be set to dim or switch as well as accept separate DMX Addresses. For  
your convenience, each channel can manually be controlled via our  
simple to use, digital display and function buttons. The Panic function  
allows you to select desired channels to switch ON constantly via the six  
dip switch settings. The unit is also supplied with 3 & 5 pin XLR  
connectors. The aluminum case makes the DP-640B one the lightest  
portable dimmers of its kind.  
The Panic feature allows you to select desired channels, via dip switches 1-6, to  
be constantly on.  
Flip the dip switches of the desired channels to the "ON" position.  
PANIC  
The selected channels will output 100%. Note: When operating  
ON  
ON  
MD  
with DMX control, corresponding channels, with dip switches set  
to "ON", will output 100% while channels with dip switches set to  
the "OFF" position can be controlled from the DMX console.

To optimize performance of this product, please read these instructions  
carefully to familiarize yourself with the basic operations.  
Installation / Mounting  
Warnings  
Be sure that this unit is properly grounded.  
The DP-640B was designed to be mounted or free standing. It is recommended  
that you use a suitable mounting clamp and safety cable when mounting clamp  
and rigging to a truss structure. There are two sets of threads on the DP-640B.  
They are in place for the mounting bracket. Use the bracket knobs and washers to  
secure the mounting bracket to either side of the pack. For cooling purposes,  
it is necessary to mount the pack so that air is free to circulate around the dimmer.  
There should be at least 12 inches of clearance between the pack and anything  
surrounding it.  
Keep this unit dry, do not expose it to water or high levels of humidity.  
Do not allow for any flammable liquids to come in close contact with this  
unit.  
Handle this unit carefully, any strong shocks or vibration may result in  
damage.  
Do not operate this unit if the internal components are exposed.  
Only use an AC source that complies with the local building and electrical  
codes.  
Connections  
Cautions  
The DP-640B is supplied with dual 20 Amp Edison plugs attached to 12 gauge  
line cords. These cords should be connected to a service capable of suppling  
20 amps per line cord and be protected by a properly sized main circuit breaker.  
Lamp loads should be plugged into the dual 20 Amp Edison sockets which are  
supplied on the face of the pack. 3 & 5 pin XLR's are supplied for the DMX input  
and output of the data link. Connect out of the DMX controller orprevious fixture  
in line and into the input of the DP-640B. Connect out of the DP-640B and into  
the input of next pack or fixture in line. It is recommended that the last pack or  
fixture in line include a DMX terminator into the output. A DMX terminator  
consists of a 120 ohm, 1/4 watt resistor soldered across pins 2 & 3 of a standard  
3 or 5 pin XLR connector.  
When unpacking, please check the unit for the damages. Should you find  
something wrong with the unit, please contact the dealer that you  
purchased it from immediately.
