  Fusion FX Bar 3                                                   Operation

Universal DMX Control: 

This function allows you to use a Elation

® 

universal DMX-512 controller to control the chases and patterns, dim-
mer  and  strobe.  A  DMX  controller  allows  you  to  create  unique  pro-
grams tailored to your individual needs. 
1.  The Fusion FX Bar 3 is a 8 DMX channel unit. See page 13 for a  
 

detailed description of the DMX traits.

2.  To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures 
 

on pages 5-6 as well as the set-up specifications that are 

 

included with your DMX controller. 

3.  Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
4.  This will allow you to create your own programs.
5.  Follow the instructions on page 8 to set the DMX address. 
6.  For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on  
 

the last fixture.

7.  For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included   
 

with your DMX controller.

Master-Slave Operation: 

This function will allow you to link up to 16 

units together and operate without a controller. In Master-Slave opera-
tion one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to 
the controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a 
Slave.
1.   Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units  
 

together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remem- 

 

ber the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR    

 

connector is the output. The first unit in the chain (master) will use  

 

the female XLR connector only - The last unit in the chain will use  

 

the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a  

 

terminator at the last fixture.

2.   On the Master unit find your desired show or choose sound act-  
 

tive mode and set that by pressiing the ENTER button.

3.  On the slave units 

tap the MENU button until “

ed, and Press ENTER.

4.   The slave units will now follow the Master unit.

trol different functions including blackout.

linked together, to run to the beat of the music.

using the IEC input and output sockets. the quantity that can be 
connected is 18 fixtures maximum. After 18 fixtures you will need 
to use a new power outlet. They must be the same fixtures. DO
