Step 1B – Building Scenes from an External DMX Controller 

The fixture includes a simple built-in DMX recorder. This recorded allow you to build a scene 

using your own DMX console and then send that scene to the fixture to be stored inside one 

of the fixture scene storage banks. Many people may find this procedure easier and quicker 

than using the on board menu functions as in “Step 1.” To store a scene from an external 

DMX controller follow the procedures below: 

 

• 

Using your DMX controller build and store scenes as you normally would. 

 

• 

Once you have built all your required scenes, enter the fixtures main menu   

 

 

 

and toggle to “Edit Programs” – “Edit Scenes” 

 

• 

Using the UP and DOWN buttons to select a scene bank to store your scene. You   

 

 

may choose a bank from 1 ~ 250. 

 

• 

Once you reach your desired bank press the ENTER button and use the UP and   

 

 

DOWN button to reach “Input by Outside” 

 

• 

Next, select a scene on your DMX console and press the ENTER button on the   

 

 

fixture. The scene should then be stored to the fixtures internal memory EPROM.     

 

• 

Follow the next section to build a program with your scenes. 

 

Step 2 – Editing Programs. 

The control will store a maximum of 10 programs. A program can store one or a maximum of 

64 scenes. Keep in mind that a scene can only be access when it is stored inside one of the 

10 available programs. Follow the procedure below to build an internal program: 

 

• 

Access the main menu and toggle to “Edit Programs.” 

 

• 

Then tap the “ENTER” button and toggle to “Program 1.” 

      • 

When you get to the “Program 1” function tap the “ENTER” button. The screen will
