Channel Dimmer Pack

"How do you wire lights through a dimmer pack to a light board so that they are in left to right order?
I can control the lights through the board, but I can't control their position on the board. I'm working with four, 4 channel double output dimmer packs.
The dimmer packs have circuits corresponding to the channels of the light board. So all you have to do is re-plug the cables leading into the dimmer packs in the order you want.
If the lights within each dimmer pack are in the appropriate order, but the dimmers are out of order, you can re-order the dimmer packs. Each dimmer has a "start address". You probably have your four dimmer packs set to start at 0, 4, 8, and 12, so that you have 16 different channels. (The number means the dimmer responds to channels n+1 to n+4, so if it's set to 8 it handles 9 through 12).
It varies by brand, but most have a set of small switches that set the start address. Some work like a binary code, so that with all switches set to "off" the starting address is 0; set the rightmost switch and it's set to 1, the next one is 2, and both are 3, etc. Some treat it as though the number is multiplied by 4, so the rightmost switch is 4, the rightmost two are 12, etc.
All that said, if you have a programmable board, you should get used to programming it rather than keeping the switches near each other. As the lighting design evolves you'll have to keep re-patching things, and that gets very tedious. It's much easier to simply set up a program for each set of lights you want, and then when the requirements change you re-program it once and you don't really care about the order.
Keep good notes as to which instrument(s) are on which circuits, and which circuits are assigned to which channel. And make sure you don't overload the circuits; those small dimmer packs usually have 10-amp fuses. That's less than 2 500-watt fresnels at full power.

DMX is an electrical spec and protocol for controlling lights and other stage devices. It is packets of up to 512 8-bit “channels” that a device can interpret in any way. Fog machines and light truss wenches understand DMX these days. A dimmer pack is just one of many types of devices that use the protocol.What this guy built is a switcher or relay pack, not a controller. Looks great. Triac dimming is much more complicated than switching, especially at 20 channels. I think he should have gone for 24 channels to fully utilize 3 dmx channels (24-bits), and he could have used better wiring with fuses, but I bet this box is going to make one awesome Christmas display.
