10. DMX addressing
Each
CF 1200 Spot
utilises
13 channels
of
DMX 512
signal for complete control.
To ensure that each projector accesses the correct signal, it is necessary to correctly
address each fixture. Any number between 1 and 495 can be generated via the rear
multi-function panel of the
CF 1200 Spot
.
When powered up initally, each projector will display
A001
which indicates
DMX
address
1
; a projector thus addressed will respond to commands on channels
1
through
13
from the DMX 512 controller, a second projector should be addressed
as
14
, a third as
27
and so on.
altering DMX addresses
1) Press the
+
or
-
buttons until the desired
DMX
number appears in the LED
display. The display will flash, indicating that the selection is not stored in
memory.
2) Press the
enter
button to confirm your selection; the display will stop flashing
and the projector will now respond to the new
DMX
address.
3) To better understand the function of each channel, we refer you to section 12
”Control channel functions from a DMX 512 contoller”.
Important Note
: Keeping the
+
or
-
pressed down will cause the display to alter at
increased speed, allowing a faster selection to be effected.
By pressing the
-
button, you may inadvertently select a DMX address which is not
being communicated to by you controller, for example 500; in this case, you will
need to either adjust your controller to ensure the DMX address is being communi-
cated to, or you may need to readjust the DMX addrss of the
CF 1200 Spot
.
