Setting up for DMX control
To configure the luminaire for control via DMX, open the menus in the fixture’s control
panel and set the fixture’s DMX Address. Note the following:
•
The FR1 TRM uses 16 DMX channels. If individual control of luminaires is required, each
luminaire must have its own 16 channels in the 512 channels that are available in one
DMX universe. If you give the first luminaire DMX address 1, for example, you should
give the next luminaire DMX address 17.
•
If you want two or more luminaires to behave identically at all times, you can give
them the same DMX address.
•
The default DMX address is 1.
•
If you need to use more than 512 DMX channels, use a DMX controller that can
manage two or more DMX universes.
Use certified DMX cable for DMX links between XLR-type DMX connectors.
Connecting to a CRMX wireless control system
The impression FR1 TM has an onboard wireless receiver that allows remote control by
DMX over a Lumenradio CRMX wireless network. You can use any transmitter that is
CRMX-compatible.
See Figure 9. Either connect a PC running a DMX control application via a USB-DMX
interface or connect a dedicated DMX control console to a CRMX transmitter. Check
the user documentation of those devices (make sure that the luminaires will be within
the transmitter’s range, for example).
