TESTING EMITTER OUTPUT

After you have addressed each Terra Linear fixture we recommend that you also test each 
one prior to installation. This can be achieved with your RDM (Remote Device Management) 
tool. Various third party DMX/RDM tools are available; we recommend the Acclaim Lighting 
XMT-350 for this task.

TO TEST EMITTER OUTPUT 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 

SEND

 

function and press the   button to select. 

4  Use the arrow buttons to determine the DMX output:

 

Use the left and right buttons to choose the DMX address,

 

Use the up and down buttons to increase/decrease the level at the chosen address. 

Note: If you wish to send DMX values to all addresses simultaneously (rather than cycling 
through them individually), when the XMT-350 is showing address 001, press the left button 
once to change to 

ALL CHANNELS

. Now when you set the level it will affect all emitters equally.

  

Note: [Fixtures with white emitters only] If no control protocol is present, white light fixtures will 
default to full on.
