TESTING EMITTER OUTPUT VIA RDM

After you have addressed each Unity fixture we recommend that you also test each one. 
This can be achieved either using the 

System Test

 option within the internal menu (see 

page 35) or using your RDM (Remote Device Management) tool. Various third party DMX/
RDM tools are available; Acclaim Lighting recommends the XMT-350 for this task.

TO TEST EMITTER OUTPUT USING THE XMT-350

1  Connect the XMT-350 to the DMX input line of the Unity installation.
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. 

SEND DMX

ADDRESS

LEVEL

%

001 000

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.
