CTB16PCg3 - Unit ID without PC


Notisopse

Recommended Posts

Hi, the manual for my new CTB16PCg3 unit (16 Channel unit) says that the Unit ID can be set without use of a computer by using the 20-pin header. I've never done anything like this and the instructions don't go into detail. Can someone with more knowledge please explain to me how to use the pinboard to set the Unit ID to 02? Thank you!

I think what you saw is that you reset the board by powering down and removing the pin from the header and power back up for a few seconds power down again ,reinstall header and the controller resets to unit 1. to my knowledge you can't set unitt ids with the header alone

If this is what you are refering to please read it again:

 

 

This 20-pin header located on the upper left of the
controller circuit board provides for an auxiliary
display card and interactive trigger inputs. Both the
Display Card and an Input Header will be available
soon.
The Display Card allows the Unit ID to be set without
a PC, display controller status and allows testing of
the controller. With the Display Card, the Unit ID can
be set independently from the DMX address
 
Where is says " Both the Display Card and an Input Header will be available soon."
Untill this is available you must use a PC and the HU to set the unit ID.

Oh, okay thank you. All I have is my my LightORama system and a CAT5 cable. What do I need to buy to connect it to my computer?

You need this or this.

 

LOR says on their store site that shipping is same day, or next day.

Also - in urgent cases like this, post your location - maybe another LOR user is close by and you could meet to get your unit ID set...
