DMX Control:

Operating through an DMX controller gives the user the freedom to 

create  their own programs tailored to their own individual needs. 

Follow the directions below to set your DMX Mode and address.

1. Before connecting to an DMX controller, your fixture has different  

  DMX channel modes, please select your desired mode by press- 

  ing the DMX Mode button, then using the “+” or “-”  buttons to 

  scroll through the DMX Channel Modes. Set the mode before you

  address the fixture. See the bottom of this page for the DMX

 modes.
2. After you have selected your mode, set the DMX address for the  

  fixture by pressing the “S” button. When the “S” button is pressed 

  the LED’s will flash 2-3 times and all the red LED’s will light. Use  

  the number buttons to press in your desired address. See  “SET  

 ADDRESS” on page 12 for examples.

Note: When setting the DMX address, each time a number is pressed 

a LED color will glow, when you have set the DMX address correctly 

all LED’s will flash 2-3 times.
