8.1 Addressing the ArcPower 144

The fixture can be operated in the two modes:

DMX mode

 - fixture is controlled via DMX 512 by an external DMX controller.

Stand-alone mode

 - fixture uses Built-in programs and is able to control other fixtures

in the master/slave chain. See the chapter „Stand-alone mode” for detail description.

For DMX mode, it is important to define the starting DMX address from which the ArcPower 36 will respond to 

the DMX controller.

Setting the DMX start channel for DMX operating:

1.

 Connect ArcPower 144 to the mains.

2.

 Browse through the menu by pressing the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons until the display shows current addres

„001” 

will start to flash frequently.

3.

 Use the [UP] and [Down] buttons to select the desired address.

4.

 Confirm by pressing [ENTER].

After having addressed ArcPower 144, you may now start operating ArcPower 144 via your DMX controller.

8.2 Program running 

By entering this menu a complete overview of all programs is offered, from which the program to be run can 

be selected by pressing [ENTER]. Selected program runs in a loop. The fixture includes 6 built-in programs 

(P.01-P.06) and 3 free editable programs (E.P.1-E.P.3), each up to 30 steps. 

If Item 

„AUt”

 is On, the fixture in DMX mode will remember last running program and this program will run after 

switching on the fixture.

Each program step has a fade time-the  time during which effects go to the current step and a Standing time-

-the time, during which effects last in the current step.

Programming procedure:
