DMX Control Mode
Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to
customizing or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the
fixture and each fixture independently.
1. Enable DMX control by setting SLA to ON in the control panel.
2. Address each fixture accordingly using the CHA function.

This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start
address" from 1 to 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data
on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 7 channels
of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101,
102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and
notate the start address selected for future reference.
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol than I suggest jumping
to the Appendix Section and read the heading
“
DMX Primer
”
. It contains very useful information that
will help you understand its use.
1. Press the [MENU] button on the control panel until the display reads [
].
2. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to increase or decrease channel values until the desired value
is displayed.
3. Remember to set function [
] to ON in order to enable DMX control.
