Fast focus mode
If you need to focus the fixture but there is nobody to operate the lighting console, you can quickly
turn the fixture on in “Fast Focus mode” using the control panel. Hold down the ENTER button for
5 seconds and the fixture will come on at full brightness in open white for 60 seconds, allowing you
to set the focus. After 60 seconds the fixture will return to normal operation.
Setting DMX address
Each fixture must be assigned a DMX address. The DMX address, also known as the start
channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture is
controlled using between 1 and 4 DMX channels depending on the personality set. If a fixture
using 4 channels has a DMX address of 1, then it uses channels 1 to 4 inclusive. The following
fixture in the DMX chain can then be set to a DMX address of 5.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. Two fixtures of
the same type may share the same address if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can
be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetric control.
To set
the fixture’s DMX address:
1.
Enter the control menu and select DMX SETUP. Press ENTER.
2.
Select DMX ADDRESS and press ENTER.
3.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the desired address setting.
4.
Press ENTER to confirm your selection (or to return to the top-level menu without changing the
settings, press the MENU button).
Setting DMX personality
DMX personality sets how many control channels are used. There are 3 personalities to choose
from:
1 channel
– Dimmer only
2 channel
– 8-bit dimmer with adjustment of dimmer fade times
4 channel
– 16-bit dimmer with shutter and adjustment of dimmer fade times
(4-channel is the default mode)
The function of each channel is described in the section “DMX protocol” on page 28.
To set the DMX personality:
1.
Enter the control menu and select DMX SETUP. Press ENTER.
2.
Select DMX MODE and press ENTER.
3.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select 1, 2 or 4.
4.
Press ENTER to confirm your selection (or to return to the top-level menu without changing the
settings, press the MENU button).
Other fixture settings
The PERSONALITY menu allows you to set other options for the fixture.
Stand-alone mode
The fixture can operate in stand-alone mode allowing control of multiple fixtures from a single
master fixture if no DMX console is connected. The options are OFF (default), MASTER and
CLIENT
. Stand-alone operation will be automatically overridden by incoming DMX signal.
