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 Power Spot 700CMY II™, which is a 24 channel fixture, you should set
the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 25 (24 + 1), the third unit
to 49 (24 + 25), and so on.
Note: During start-up the Power Spot 700CMY II™, will automatically detect whether a
DMX data signal is being received or not. If DMX data signal is being received, the display
will show
"D.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not
receiving a DMX signal the display will flash "D.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 or 5-PIN XLR input plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is
not connected or is not inserted completely into the DMX input jack of the
fixture.
-
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.
