Mode button

Pressing the Mode button activates the Presets menu; the last active preset 
plays automatically. Pressing the Mode button a second time deactivates the 
selected preset. The display will revert to show the DMX start address.

• If DMX data is present, the current preset plays in the background and 

DMX data continues to take priority.

• If DMX data is lost and a preset is active in the background, the last 

selected preset automatically plays. 

Setting the DMX address

1:

Press any button to wake the display. The display shows the DMX 
address. 

2:

Use the Up and Down buttons to select the DMX address for the 
fixture.

You can also use RDM for DMX addressing. See 

Using RDM

 on 

page 19

.

Changing the DMX control mode

You can set the DMX control mode for the fixture to one of three available 
mode options. 

1:

Press any button to wake the display. The display shows the DMX 
address.

2:

Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds. The display shows the 
current DMX control mode.

3:

Press the Up and Down buttons to change the DMX control mode.



: Variable color temperature (intensity or color temperature). 

This is the default mode.



: Direct emitter control (intensity, warm white, cool white, 

strobe).



: 1-channel mode controls the intensity of preset 1 (defaults to 

3000K White).

4:

Press the Mode button to confirm your selection.

The display will automatically return to the DMX address after 10 seconds of 
inactivity, and edits to the DMX control mode will not be saved. This cancels 
unsaved changes.
