Intellabeam DMX channels

Hi,

I just got a couple of Intellabeam 400.
On my Grand MA's profile there are 8 channels, the last one is for the speed. But this speed channel has no effect on the mirror or gobo/color change speed.
On the online manual there is nothing mentionned about the DMX channels.

After searching on Google, some say that there are 8 channels some other 13 channels.

Could somebody tell me what is right. 7, 8 or 13?

To get the full usage out of them, you want them in 13 channel mode.

To set them to 13 channel mode,
Dip switch 3 should be on for channels 1-256, or off for 257-512
Switch 4 should be off for channels 1-256 or on for 257-512
5 should be off
6 should be on
and 8 should be on

Then just use the normal dmx dipswitch setup for addressing.
hopefully this makes sense,
Let me know if anything needs clarification.
