5. Setting DMX signal reception (reserved for installer)
manual system 6
is able to control both dimmers and fixtures via DMX.
For your benefit, we explain below how to operate 2 different DMX controllable devices, a standard DMX controllable fixture
and a
coemar comet
.
All fixtures should be addressed to the channel
DMX 1
to respond correctly to the 6 channels of the
manual system 6,
many fixtures require different methods for doing this, we recommend that you refer to the respective owner’s manuals.
5.1. coemar DIGIfactor 6 channels
1-At start-up, the display on your projector will show
A001
indicating the address
DMX 1
.
This address should be maintained to ensure correct functioning
In the case that the display should show otherwise, proceed as follows:
Press the
+
or
-
buttons until the display shows
DMX A001
, the display will flash, indicating that the address is not recor-
ded.
2- Press the
enter
button to record your selection, the display will cease flashing and the fixture will respond to address
DMX
1.
holding down the + or - will allow for rapid scrolling through the display.
5.2. coemar comet
It is important to set the dip switched correctly to ensure correct reception by the
comet.
The
comet
should be set, in fact, as would any other DMX 512 unit attached to the
manual system 6
, to address 1
The following diagramme shows only the dip switches which should be set to 0N.
Other
comets
with the same address setting can also be controlled; if you wish them to be synchronised, you will need to also
connect the stereo jack between
comets
; for other information refer to the
comet
manual.
