Fusion FX Bar 3 Operation
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.
