setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the back of the fixture.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different
address for each individual fixture. Be advised that setting all you fixtures to the same DMX
address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other words, changing
the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the
channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX channels) of
each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected
fixture.
In the case of the Design LED 36 Pro™, which is up to a six channel fixture (default may also
be set to three or four channels), you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to
1, the second unit to 7 (6 + 1), the third unit to 13 (6 + 7), and so on.
Note: During start-up the Design LED 36 Pro™ will automatically detect whether a DMX
data signal is being received or not. If a DMX data signal is being received, the display will
show "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not receiving a
DMX signal the display will flash "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address).
If your fixture is connected to a DMX controller and the display is flashing (not receiving a
DMX signal), please check the following:
- The 3-pin XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) may not be connected or
is not inserted completely into the DMX input jack.
- The DMX controller is switched off or defective.
- The DMX cable or connector is defective.
-
A DMX terminator has been inserted into the last fixture in your DMX chain.
