Since each Shiva-150R/200R/250R has 6 channels, starting
addresses would be set as follows: First scanner starting address
= 1; Second scanner starting address = 7, etc.
Use a ball-point pen or toothpick to set dip switch addresses
appropriately. See the guide DMX512 Basics for more
information. For convenience, Shiva-150R/200R/250R starting
addresses for 28 units and corresponding DMX dip switch settings
are listed below.

TM
refers to the three scanners with similar functions: Shiva-200R
scanner uses HSD-200 lamp which has a 2000-hour lamp life.
TM
Shiva-250R scanner uses EHJ 64655 G6.35 24V/250W (50-hour)
TM
or EHJ 64657 G6.35 24V/250W (300-hour) lamp. Shiva-150R

for your unit.
TM
3a. For Shiva-150R scanner: Note that the CDM-SA/T
150W/942 lamp stem has two pegs, one thicker than the other.
Match the pegs with the holes in the lamp socket. Insert the
pegs into the lamp socket.
TM
3b. For Shiva-200R scanner: Use HSD-200 lamp ,Same as
above procedure.
TM
3c. For Shiva-250R scanner: Use either EHJ 64655 G6.35
24V/250W (50-hour) or EHJ 64657 G6.35 24V/250W (300-
hour) lamp. Both of these lamps have two pegs of the same
size. Insert pegs into the lamp Socket.
4. Make sure the lamp is in straight. Push the lamp mechanism (B2)
straight back into place and fasten screws (B6) on the lamp
