DMX Operation Notes:   

 

The fixture will function in DMX mode whenever the unit is receiving a DMX signal. Please 

note that this will override all manual settings.   

 

This unit will keep and retain the last DMX command in the event of DMX signal failure. To 

reset the fixture you must turn the power off.   

 

DMX CHANNEL TRAITS

 

 

The charts below and on the preceding pages outline the different DMX traits for the three 

different DMX modes.

 

 

3-Channel mode: 

In this mode channel one controls all the red LEDs, channel two controls 

all the green LEDs, and channel three controls all the blue LEDs.
