DMX PERSONALITY MODE SELECTION

AL Graze AC fixtures provide a range of personality modes to suit the various color 
configurations which are set at manufacture. Once set, it should not be necessary to change 
the personality mode for a fixture, however, the method for soing so is covered here for 
completeness. For a summary of how channels are allocated in all the model variants, see 

DMX channel designations

, on page 9.   

Using an RDM (Remote Device Management) tool, you can quickly change between the 
various DMX personality modes. Various third party DMX/RDM tools are available; we 
recommend the Acclaim Lighting XMT-350 for this task.

TO CHANGE PERSONALITY MODES USING THE ACCLAIM LIGHTING XMT-350

1  Connect the XMT-350 to the DMX input line of either a single fixture or multiple fixtures in 

a pre-arranged daisy chain configuration.

2  Power on the fixture(s) and the XMT-350.
3  On the XMT-350, press the 

MODE

 button, then use the arrow buttons to highlight the 

RDM

 

function and press the   button to select. The XMT-350 will search for RDM devices and 
after a short while the XMT-350 will display a list of all located fixtures:

The fixture that is highlighted within the list should begin flashing its emitters to identify 
itself.

4  If necessary, use the up/down buttons to highlight an alternative fixture. 
5  On the XMT-350, press the   button to view details for the chosen fixture and then use 

the down button to highlight the 

DMX PERSONALITY

 entry:

6  Press the    button to view the personality options:

7  Use the up/down buttons to highlight the required personality and then press the    

button to store it within the fixture.

8  Press the   button to return to the previous screen.       

Note: Use the appropriate xCH DMX  setting for 
your color model (see page 9). T
he xCH FIX 
settings are not appropriate for external control.
