Alternative DMX Addressing Functions
Certain DMX addresses are reserved for special functions. Addresses 700
and above can be used for setting the intensity level of the fixture. The
second and third address numbers set the intensity level. The intensity
knob is ignored when using these DMX addresses. See the following
table for examples.
DMX Address

Intensity at 1%

800

Adjust the Local Intensity
A local intensity knob is located on the track adapter (track-mounted
fixture) or on the driver box (portable fixture). See the illustration in
the DMX Address at the Fixture on page 16
On the canopy fixture (DMX variant only), the local intensity adjustment
control is located on the side of the canopy (next to the status LED). To
adjust the local intensity knob on the canopy fixture, you will need a
small flatblade screwdriver (jeweler’s screwdriver).
You can adjust the local intensity with or without DMX being present.
•
When DMX is not present, you can control the intensity.
•
When DMX is present, you can set the maximum light output.
Dimming will be proportional in relation to that setting. When the
local intensity is set to Off, the maximum light level over DMX is
100%.
•
When DMX is lost and the local intensity is set to Off, the light will
go dark.
•
When DMX is lost and the local intensity is set to a level greater
than 0, the light goes to the level of the local intensity setting.
