In the case of the FR-300W, which is 1/2/3/4 channels fixture. If you set, for example, the address in the
1 channel mode to channel 2, the device will use the channel 2 for control.
Note: After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not. If there is data received at the DMX input, you will see the DMX indicator light in green.
Universal DMX Control
This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512 controller to control the dimmer and strobe. A DMX
controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs.
RDM control
The FR-300W LED can communicate using RDM (Remote Device Management) in accordance with
ESTA’s American National Standard E1.20-2006: Entertainment Technology RDM Remote Device
Management Over DMX512 Networks.
RDM is a bi-directional communications protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the open
standard for DMX512 device configuration and status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without affecting
existing non-RDM equipment. It allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to
and receive messages from specific fixtures.
With RDM function, you can set the DMX address of your fixtures remotely. This is especially useful
when the device is installed in a remote area.
Each FR-300W has a factory set RDM UID (unique identification number).
Note: Before operation, enable RDM function in Advanced settings.
Art-Net protocol
The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with Art-Net™ communication protocol. The
control software running on your PC (or light console) has to support Art-Net protocol.
Art-Net™ communication protocol is a 10 Base T Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP. Its purpose is
to allow transfer of large amounts of DMX 512 data over a wide area using standard network technology.
